- There are more than 13,000 campsites in Colorado, run by private and public enterprises.
- They range from 'primitive', with no water or other basics, to full service, including electrical hookups, laundry, and shower facilities.
- There are 14 million acres of state-run parks covering mountains, lakes, rivers, and valleys.
- Most public campgrounds are located at high altitudes and offer minimal support during the winter off-season, which is usually from mid-October to mid-May.
- Pets are allowed at some venues but not where they are likely to impact the local wildlife.
- The ethos of all campers in these conservation areas should be to leave no trace of their visits.
