So Sioux and I have lived in Durango, CO (off and on) since 1976. And we have camped a lot BUT always backpacking or lately in a 4WD FWC waaaaay off road!
So now we have relatives from Kansas coming in this weekend with a 4WD PU dragging a very low clearance tent trailer that want to do "dispersed camping". And I'm not familiar with "easy-to-get-to" dispersed camping sites in SW Colorado. Anybody got a "secret spot" they would recommend?
NOTE: Our relatives would like to do some fishing but don't need to be camped right on a lake. And they'd like to be within 45 minutes or so of Durango. They are in their late 60's and coming from Kansas so I don't want to stick 'em at 10,000 feet right away.
I'm thinking north of Mancos, CO around Jackson Lake. But everything is on the table. And thanks in advance for any ideas!
Steve
