Camp for Free in Northern Colorado

Camp for Free in Colorado

You know what I love? Camping. You know what I don’t love as much? Paying as much as I would for a hotel room for a night! Luckily, there are plenty of free campsites in and around the front range, and we’ve compiled some for you to get you started!

602-610 County Highway 132-W
Nederland, Colorado
GPS: 39.946961, -105.517587
Elevation: 8711′

If you can brave rough camping accessed by a currently washed-out road, you’re in for a treat. This site is near Nederland and many hiking trails with sweeping views of the forests and mountains. Pets are allowed, and even encouraged, as in previous seasons there have been some issues with rowdy neighbors. No amenities.

Road 1161
Lyons, Colorado
GPS: 40.175811, -105.526469
Elevation: 8645′

The road to this campsite is rated as rough, but that’s not enough to dissuade other campers. This site is crowded on weekends, so go early as it’s first come, first served. It’s very close to RMNP and has a nice stream and lovely views of the forest. This site is recommended for pickup RVs and passenger cars with tents. No amenities.

Ward, Colorado
GPS: 40.11423, -105.50478
Elevation: 8921′

This campsite is just around the corner from Brainard Lake and other RMNP attractions. The Reservoir is privately owned unfortunately, but the forest is relatively quiet, and you won’t have as many neighbors at this lesser-known campsite than at the paid sites nearby. Pets are welcome, and this site is ideal for both tents and RVs. Dirt access road is usually well-graded, but always check ahead to be sure you won’t need a 4X4 vehicle to make it! No amenities.
