We hiked to 4 waterfalls very close to town. If you go in the early summer (late May - early July), you get the chance to see amazing waterfalls. If Telluride is not on your travel bucket list, you should add it now! Telluride is one of our favorite towns we have ever visited.

#BOONDOCKING UTAH FREE#
We loved Pagosa Springs so much that we wrote an entire post on 10 Amazing Free Things to Do in Pagosa Springs.Īmazing options for recreation activities (hike, bike, ATV) right outside your doorĭense forest setting doesn’t allow for great sunrise / sunset views If you head north from camp, there are amazing hikes, waterfalls, and Williams Creek Reservoir. You are only 15 minutes north of downtown Pagosa Springs with shopping, hot springs, and the beautiful San Juan River. The location of this free campground is ideal. The road in is one of the best gravel roads we have been on. Over 30 miles of hiking and biking trails are scattered throughout the campsites. The sites are large and flat, and we had plenty of options to choose from in early June. Turkey Springs is a fantastic area to camp for free. While some campers choose to boondock to get away from people, we have met some of the friendliest people (and now great friends) at these dispersed campsites. If you do end up with neighbors, don’t run your generators late at night or early in the morning. Keep in mind that the reviewers range from experts to newbies, and everyone has a different comfort level navigating their RV.Įven if the reviews say the road is OK, we always park our rig in a pullout or trailhead nearby and scout for sites with our bikes or by walking.ĭon’t park right next to someone if there is plenty of space to park somewhere else. Scouting starts by reading the reviews of the campsite on Campendium and iOverlander. You don’t want to end up down a sketchy dirt road with nowhere to turn around. The best and most important tip for boondocking is to scout ahead. Be nice to Rangers! They don’t get paid enough! 😊🙄.You will want to make sure you have plenty of food and water as well as a way to get electricity (solar, generator, battery packs, etc.). I realize this is CO tho and maybe not enough time. If you go down the 285 you might shoot over to Great Sand Dunes. On the way home I would certainly drive through Ouray or See Telluride and then down and out through Durango. You have to time that wait line correctly too so you don’t get turned around say at 4:45 or such tho some fee people will let you in early. Remember Arches is timed entry or you can get there before timed opening or after timed closing which is now at 4 instead of 5. Many of the Arches hikes do need to walk out but are not too bad depending. Canyonlands doesn’t require a lot of hiking to see some beauty and of course Arches is the same. The Needles is suppose to be awesome but I have not been. And with only 4 days I would stick to east side of UT. They have many view points from above so not a lot of hiking need be done. Otherwise you could go through Cortez and even see Mesa Verse Cliff Dwellings. From NM area say Albuquerque you could stop in Bandelier if that’s a good overnight.
