I searched Georgetown and didn't see any mention of off road trails, anyone have experience in that area? Also need a camp site.

Check out www.traildamage.com There's lots of trail reports for the area, ranging from mostly easy/moderate to very difficult. Other towns in the general vicinity would be Empire, Central City (follow hwy 119 north from Central City - there are lots of trails in this area as well), Keystone, Idaho Springs
I don't think the whole Jeep thing is as commercialized in this area as it is in the San Juans, but looks like there are potentially more trails here.
Since we didn't get a date down, I used my annual vacation bid for hunting season. That does not mean I won't get to go to camp, but it does mean getting time off will be more difficult and I won't know until shortly before the dates if I am going to get it. Since I now have to work around other peoples vacations, avoiding holiday weekends will help my chances of getting the time off to go.
Lots and lots of 4-wheeling in the area there. As mentioned, Traildamage.com is a great source. Also, the Mile-Hi Jeep Club met there in 2004 if you want some write-ups and such:

Not sure what sort of amenities folks will need for camping, but there are quite a few options in the area. Just a bit toward Denver is Idaho Springs, which has this one:

Idaho Springs also has Beau-Jo's, home of the Colorado Mountain Pie:

And there's whitewater rafting thereabouts, too.
I won't be into that neck of the woods until July, but after that should be good to go wherever.
I'm stuck in South Carolina until at least 30 June, so I probably won't be into Colorado until around 6 July. World doesn't revolve around me, though. (Unfortunately.)
Don't we drive full size jeeps our selves. :p
I asked the wife if she wanted to go to Colorado in july and she said "MMMMM wait what type of off road crap is going on in Colorado in july" :D:D I'm going to work on her and see if we can make this. Not sure if I would drive that far on my own or not but we will see.
