    Gimme some good camping ideas

    We are looking for campsites close to Denver.

    1. Can get to on a dirtbike

    2. NOT a lot of highway or paved road travel to get there

    3. Has toilet

    3. Fishing, hiking, trail riding

    4. Tent camping, no RV crap our tons of people

    I have a good bit of research but people who have done this know better than the NFS or tourists from out of state.

    Thanks

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is a ski-in/ski-out resort nestled in a quiet valley at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain. (No. 2)

    The design and architecture for the resort was inspired by the grand lodges of the west. Native materials, such as hewn logs, timbers, and stone, were used to blend the building with the site.

    The interior of the resort was completed with wood and leather to serve as an extension of the wilderness. As a part of this concept, nearly all guest rooms were designed to offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. (With 2300 sq ft rooms you can't be more outdoorsy than this. No.4)

    The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch distinguishes itself with personalized service, a 21,000-square-foot spa, ski-in/ski-out convenience using the Bachelor Gulch Express high-speed quad lift, and 36 holes of golf at the nearby Red Sky Golf Club. Summer activities include mountain biking, fly fishing, (Second No.3) music festivals, shopping, hiking,(Second No.3) and Jeep tours

    Luxury amenities include Frette linens, plush terry robes and marble bathrooms. (First No.3) Guest rooms feature writing desks, Internet access, computer and fax hookups.

    (And with a large enough tip you should be able to ride your dirt bike in the lobby. No. 1)

    Of course there'll be cabin outings this summer, but just you and the Pie should use the cabin for a solo outing sometime this summer.
    Over Hooser Pass before Breck there's a bunch of nice creek valleys that feed into the Blue to fish.
    Though a lot of them have been closed to motorized traffic.
    All the trails running North and N/W out of southpark are nice to ride/camp/fish.
    (Georgia, Boreas, Brown, Break Neck, Mosquito, Quandry)

    Also,
    There's some nice spots off the pavement through Pine/Deckers/Woodland
    or cut south of Bailey into Wellington Lake/Buffalo Creek from the back side.

    Rampart of course is about the closest place.

    Squaw Pass/Echo Lake.
