Places to camp

[Sean]

My saddle bags are a coming :up: So in the vain of my other thread, Where are some good spots to camp?

Here's what I'm looking for. No water, hookups, showers etc. Prefer if it was a little secluded from life. Not on a main road, but possible with an adventurous sportbike rider. In Colorado, southern Wyoming or northern New Mexico. So if you have some, post up some details please.


1. Go down the dirt rd and there is camping on the left hand side. I stayed about 8 miles down the rd on one of the little side paths next to a river.

2. Right by Buena Vista. A bunch of camping the further you go back. I always look a right at the split. Not to many people and some good views of the mtns.

I love Northern New Mexico. Haven't been there in years. The last time I actually camped there (yes, I slept on the hard ground) was when I was 3 months pregnant with my first child...that was about 20 years ago (dayum...I'm friggen old!). Anyhoo, we found the area around the Red River to be absolutely beautiful. There's lots of places to get pretty lost without trying too hard.

Geneva Basin (Guinella Pass) has some campsites pretty much right as you get off paved road. Those should be manageable on a sport bike.

Gets a little chilly in the Basin at night :D

That looks great! Thanks! Yeah, I'd love to head down there via backroads for a night or two and get me some tasty green chilly. :yumyum:
