Camping in or near Lyons

Pretty desperate for a place to stay in Lyons. Pretty sure I'm going to be camping for a few days at least. Does anybody know of areas that you could get away setting up a tent?

I realize the floods hit them hard and most legal places to camp are shut down. I'm looking for anything whether it's backcountry or established grounds. I heard you could camp at the fairgrounds at one point, is this still possible? Any info is great, thanks.

take some initiative... check out State Parks in the area...

Lots of options, ski hill and ironclads just to start.

Wow thank you for the useless post. Little did you know I had already looked there and if you read more into it you'd discover tent camping is prohibited. Useful posts only please

Don't take him too seriously. He once told me that it was going to be cold the next day. As if he was the only one with access to weather forecasts. Would offer my place but 45 minutes from Lyons in zero traffic.

you're the one who said "I heard you can camp at the fairgrounds...is this still possible" I also told you to look at the nearby state parks.... again take some initiative
