The people ate Red Mountain are really good to us too and we have a relationship that keeps the prices lower than everywhere else and they throw in some extras like the grill, next year Jim said he would give us a meeting tent if we want one.

I liked Red Mountain, but while I haven't priced RV sites in the Colorado area, I wasn't that impressd that we got a good deal. We stopped in Moab for two nights on the way to Colorado and had just as good or better for half the price.

I shopped the area and Red Mountain is the best price there, the only cheaper option is dry camping.Originally Posted by WanderingTs
I wouldn't mind trying another part of the state. If we went to the Fairlplay area, we could even do Mosquito Pass - the highest 4x4 pass in North America. I know there is also a bunch of stuff up near Central City/Empire as I drove past the trail heads last year.
We are certainly not locked into the Silverton area. I do know that several of our fellow campers go to Silverton every year so we may or may not get them to take off and join us elsewhere but Colorado is such a beautiful state I know I would like to see more.
I agree there is much to see in Colorado. I have been several times elk hunting to areas only 30 miles or so as the crow flies from where we did runs out of Silverton and saw different and beautiful country.

I suppose my recommendation would be to repeat the San Juans once more for West Coast Camp, but running from a different base to mix things up: Ouray or Ridgway, probably.
One could then adequately plan for somewhere else in Colorado for the National Camp event. Gunnison, Fairplay, and Buena Vista come quickly to mind. Perhaps best, though, would be Georgetown, which is easy to access just out of Denver on the interstate, but is also close to a wide range of terrific trails. I do think most folks would enjoy something like that more than a private park.

I doubt we will be able to attend next year. My breaks are May 29-June 5 and August 14-28. Both times mean cold weather in the higher elevations. It is tough to take time off between breaks. I'll check back often as you guys hash out the details and I'll just have to see if it is doable.

Don't worry TJ, Christy and I will grab a 4x4 rental and go wheeling with you in February and April when we're back in Vegas.
