Buena Vista and Nathrop, CO - Brown's Creek Falls
Buena Vista and Nathrop are great areas for boondocking and free camping during the late spring and early summer months. The valley is typically warm and the camping areas are free of snow by late April. While you’re camping in Buena Vista I recommend you visit the ghost town of St. Elmo, off-road or dirt bike up Mt. Princeton, and relax at the end of the day in the hot pools of Mount Princeton Hot Springs. If dirt biking or off-roading isn’t for you, there are many beautiful hikes nearby.
Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO
Camping near the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Mosca, Colorado. I have also included a list of our favorite things to do! Lily Lake hike in the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness is beautiful and makes for a nice day trip. There is plenty of free and dispersed camping nearby.
