    riding and camping in CO

    by notchdan » Sun Mar 10, 2013 5:19 am

    will be heading out to Colorado in August, looking for a riding area that I can pull my toy hauler to and camp. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Taylor Park is a great area to ride & camp, I've been there a few times.
    Rampart range is another great area, not so busy during the week, just need to be careful on the weekends. Can get busy

    Make sure you have the proper OHV sticker & spark arrester, or you can get a hefty fine if you don't

    thanks for info, being from michigan I know all about stickers and arresters. Is there any other places, or are they all more difficult terrain?

    Try traildamage.com

    I believe it will give you a list of places to ride in Colorado

    Traildamage.com is primarily a four-wheelers website. Try staythetrail.org instead, they are more geared to general motorized recreation / OHV's.

    thanks to all that replied. The more I have to work with the better. Is there any must do, or great ride trails or loops? I will be out there for a week, riding off road, bikes/quads, and street bikes for the twisties. Thanks

    Powerline trail at Rampart is a fun trail, best done during the week

    Rampart Range has camping sites right off the trails. The trails are pretty whooped out though, but it helps to keep the speeds down. Can get a little old after 3-4 hours of riding. Rainbow falls is close-by to Rampart, actually connects at some point. There are camping spots there, but I don't think there are any power or water hook-ups. Those are the 2 that I rode most when I was there for the past year. Since moved out, but miss the riding.

    Thanks for the info. The more I get the better, I do not require any hook ups for my rig. The rustic or away from the masses the better. Here in MI, you can stay at a state forest campground for a week and not have any other campers. With access to at least 40 to 80 miles of trails or more depending on location.
