    I highly recommend the san juan mountains of southwestern Colorado. Anywhere near Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, etc.. i used to camp in Cunningham gulch just outside of Silverton, co. Just past the old one hundred mine. Beautiful country!

    Love this app. Please add more free campsites. Camping in the wild is the best way to do it.

      😊 We're always up for hearing of new free campsites! We've also got an entire search and review website over at www.campendium.com which features the ability to filter by 'free' if that's your jam.

      Hope you figured out in advance that you have to get tickets in advance and they sell out quick. I haven't been since I was a kid and I didn't know about the tickets. We still went with the kids but didn't get to go ON any sites - only view from a distance.

Just be sure if you head out in search of a campsite on public lands, that you don't disturb undisturbed areas! More info: www.campendium.com/camping/how-dispersed-camping-gets-shut-down/
