      You're welcome! It helps when we stay there 5 nights and can record the sites as they empty during the week.

    Awesome video! I enjoyed all the information shared about the area, and the walk throughs. The shot that you cut to several times was beautiful with the deer in the distance. It was hilarious when it almost came right on your camera and then realized it wasn’t alone! I was busy watching the squirrel on the downed tree and didn’t even realize at first that there was a deer in that shot as well. One of your best!

      This was one of my favorites to edit. I had seen deer by our site every morning, so I setup the camera and let it go. We scared each other in that one shot.
      I'd get up in the mornings thinking I would go back to bed but 45 minutes later I was still standing there enjoying the view. It was a great place to reset my soul

    The flattops are quite serene. Family has camped, backpacked various locations for decades. Most people unaware and that is just fine.

    We were just up on the flat tops a couple of days ago. We were on the southern end coming up from Dotsero. This is our next, coming in from the northern end, looks more populated, but still amazing. Thanks for the video!

    • @CampgroundRecon
      @CampgroundRecon  3 месяца назад +1

      Coming from Dotsero is still on the to do list for us. Heading in from Meeker/Buford felt pretty remote. The Yampa side was beautiful but felt like we weren't far from town.

      @@CampgroundRecon have fun! Quick tip, if you have the ability to air down it will definitely smooth out the ride. About five miles of the upper part of the shelf road is pretty slow, rocky and bumpy. Plenty of great dispersed camping and if you want a established campground, Deep Lake is really nice and $6 per night.

    Made a reservation and all set. Thanks again for your help.

    Enjoyed the extra footage of the trailheads and site walk arounds. What dates were you there, surprised that there were so many open sites. Agreed about mosquitoes, just as bad on the Yampa side. Great job on this one!

    • @CampgroundRecon
      @CampgroundRecon  4 года назад

      We were there July 14-20 (Tues-Sun). Anytime I saw somebody packing up, I got the camera ready to record the site as soon as they pulled out. It was about half full most of the time. It is a long drive for a first come first served site. I assume that is why it wasn't as crowded up there. Thanks for the feedback!

      Are you looking at some off-road campers? I'm thinking I need something I can pull with the Jeep. We have a couple of Yampa area campgrounds coming this fall.

    Do you remember if sites 6 or 7 had good flat spots for tent. Hard to tell for sure in video. Thanks!

    • @CampgroundRecon
      @CampgroundRecon  3 года назад +1

      Site 6 - Tent would need to be in back of driveway. Too much slope otherwise. Site 7 - flat spot for tent is near the picnic table.
      It's a long drive to get there but still one of my favorite campsites of all time.

      There is one outside of Cutthroat Campground if you are planning on staying there.
