Thinking about a Colorado vacation this summer? While the many cities and towns have plenty of quality lodging options – from hotels and motels to rental homes and B&B’s – many Colorado visitors prefer to enjoy Colorado’s wilderness up close and opt for camping. Tons of options exist throughout the state, and there’s no shortage of camping around Breckenridge.
Car Camping
For those seeking a camping experience with amenities, car camping offers the luxury of picnic tables, bathrooms or port-a-johns, established fire pits and barbeques. Driving also means being able to bring plenty of extra amenities or head to the store for fresh dinner foods.

For those seeking more time with nature, backcountry camping is by far the best option. Choose your campsite well and you won’t be interrupted by other campers or noisy vehicles. Instead, you’ll be free to enjoy the surrounding wilderness and it’ll increase your chances of wildlife sightings. Plus, you’ll gain access to campsites that cannot be reached by car.
