I highly recommend the san juan mountains of southwestern Colorado. Anywhere near Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, etc.. i used to camp in Cunningham gulch just outside of Silverton, co. Just past the old one hundred mine. Beautiful country!
😊 We're always up for hearing of new free campsites! We've also got an entire search and review website over at www.campendium.com which features the ability to filter by 'free' if that's your jam.
Hope you figured out in advance that you have to get tickets in advance and they sell out quick. I haven't been since I was a kid and I didn't know about the tickets. We still went with the kids but didn't get to go ON any sites - only view from a distance.
I am only 19 years old, but for the last six-ish years of my life I've known that I want to move to college when I am capable of doing so. The info on this site has provided me with even more exciting opportunities to explore the day I move! Thanks for the content.

I love Campendium and use it often, but these videos are very helpful. Nice to see the areas nearby and have the links. We've been wanting to go to Mesa Verde, but were very unhappy to learn that they don't take the National Parks Senior Pass. Love the option of the nearby campsite you featured. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you for highlighting free camping in Colorado. Hoping to have the opportunity to visit beautiful Colorado this summer. All of your recommendations look inviting. Can see why they made the list! 😊
Wonderful! I have always been respectful of nature. I will be double so with your exhortation in mind. I will bring an extra trash bag and pick up any trash I find! Thank You!
Please note, gates are closed at Still Water pass. Fires have burned a lot of it and only a few campsites before the gate are available but not very pleasant.
Greetings from Pune City India. Please tell me the location where cowboy movies made. It's the Westerns that makes me to come and see all South West USA especially Arizona,Utah, California, Mexico. And Texas yes I enjoyed your videos Thanks for sharing all the information.
Hey brotha I’ve had this whole video on my bucket list for a while now. I planned to take a whole month to hit up all these campsite next month. I was wondering if you were willing to help me out with more info to getting to these destinations. I am pulling my travel trailer. Please let me know if you’re able to assist me. Thank you.
So, I know this is an old video, but do I need to take my stock 4x4 truck to get the full camping enjoyment for a lot of these or will saving money in my wife’s AWD Tucson work?
Any areas I should try to avoid? I’m gonna go car camping with a friend of mine and are trying to shoot for Rocky Mountain National Park! Just wondering also if there’s plenty of hotels just in case we can’t find a spot to park and sleep XD. Lmk ASAP we leave Thursday morning!

I have wanted to go to Mesa Verde for the past 8-10 years and I am finally able to plan a trip this summer! Thanks for the beautiful campsite advice!
Have an amazing trip! 🏕 -Liz

Also Red Feather Lakes Colorado has a free camping area absolutely breathtaking and has moose and bear wildlife.

You dont have it in you
If you’re in the area around Durango or Mancos, you can also do La Plata Canyon Campgrounds- beautiful spot and free too
I bought a Prius because it’s perfect for setting up a cozy make shift bed inside. I’m nervous about this but here I go.
The best video sharing. I love watching new places around the world as I have never been anywhere.
Can't wait, moving to CS in June, campervan is ready to explore.
Happy travels to you! 🚙
Thank you for this. Going to give Stillwater pass a try in a couple of weeks!

You prononced mt Shavano wrong, you put an o where the a is.
I’ve never hear the term OHV which I think it’s off highway vehicles
Spots I have to see
Any areas I should try to avoid? I’m gonna go car camping with a friend of mine and are trying to shoot for Rocky Mountain National Park! Just wondering also if there’s plenty of hotels just in case we can’t find a spot to park and sleep XD. Lmk ASAP we leave Thursday morning!

Can you camp for free at twin lakes?
Yes. There is dispersed camping at the Southern lake on the West side. Or the West lake on the South side. 😂 Great for lake access!
Do you need four wheel drive I only have two wheel drive
Many do not need 4 wheel drive
Not for every campsite! You'll note that several of the places Seth mentions include areas for big rigs or non-4x4s.

is there any security here or staff?

You are pronouncing so many of these names incorrectly.
Remember trappers are trapping coyotes on these lands. Keep a close eye on your dogs. Learn how to release a trap and snare
I would be great with gps coordinates

Reading reviews and using stock images without any actual insight 😭 okay
I had to bail... too much wind noise. What a shame.
Colorado can be a windy place 🌬
