Colorado has hundreds of campgrounds and millions of acres of public lands, so picking 50 of the best campsites was not an easy task. In addition to the expected spectacular alpine mountainscapes are the lakes and rivers, canyons, and arid places that are just as gorgeous as the high country. Discover Irish Canyon in the northwest corner of the state where Butch Cassidy and his gang hid out between heists. Travel to central Colorado and the White River Plateau and enjoy the scenery while camping at Supply Basin. Pitch a tent in North Crestone amid the maples, alders, aspens, and Douglas fir to name a few of the trees in the Rio Grande National Forest. Beyond the campgrounds, follow author Johnny Molloy's suggestions for rafting, fishing, caving, mountain biking, and recalling Colorado's history.
