Camping and/or climbing buddies for 7/26-8/3

I will be travelling solo from AR to RMNP from 7/26 to 8/3. As camping is pretty expensive, especially for one person, I am looking for someone/people to share the camping fee with. I usually just sleep in my car, so even if you just have a parking spot thats all i need.

I was just planning on bouldering as I am travelling alone, but I have trad and sport gear if anyone needs a rope partner for that week.

I'm also looking to share a campsite! Feel free to call six one four-286-8258

Guys...this is colorado. National forests abound. Camp for free.

Do an advanced search for "camping estes park" or "camping boulder" in the forums.

This should get your started. Plus there is more camping on Hwy 7; in nederaland, allenspark / the ironclads. The only thing you need to really know is you need permits for the indian peaks backcountry.

Thanks for all the info! this is great news. I knew there had to be cheaper camping around, I just know last time i was there we didnt utilize our resources well enough. Thanks again!!

Quick question: do you need a permit for camping in the free forestry lands? If so, how do you obtain one?

Only the backcountry stuff in the Indian peaks. The rest of it is off forest service roads and is free.

Sometimes it might add 15 minutes or so to your drive, but you'll enjoy the camping experience high up and away from the main areas. Keep in mind that firearms are allowed in these areas.
