So I'm looking for a really dope place to camp in the greater Denver area (few hours drive in any direction) and I figured I might as well ask NS.
Dream list:
SecludedNear a fishable riverCliffs to jump offNot an established campground (can't stand RV's or the people in them)
Anyone have a really great spot they wouldn't mind sharing? I figure the Key/Breck/Silverthorne/Dillon/A-BayWhatever area would be the best bet.
 
If you're down to hike then Lost Lake in RMNP is great, can fly fish the Roaring River on the way up or the Thompson at the trailhead...its a challenging 4 hr hike but you end up at a great secluded lake.

American lakes are another good one, once again a 4 or 5 hr hike in but great seclusion in high alpine colorado....i'll def be back there this summer.

Heard that Green Mountain Resevoir (between Silverthorne and Kremmling) has everything you're looking for but I'm not positive about cliff jumping....know that fishing downstream of it is good once run off subsides.

 
dude, i called you to go camping a couple times already and your lazy ass never answers the phone. i got some places...
 
I'd love some insider secrets that address where to jump/camp, hopefully neither is far from the other. Thanks aspendukes.
 
I was hibernating that week. It's necessary from time to time. Probably going camping at Green Lake sometime after the 4th if you're down.
Thanks a bunch MistaT and Aspen
 
I enjoy dispersed camping just south of Nederland around West Magnolia. Its great because its free since its dispersed camping in a National Forest, plus the spots are designated so you're in the middle of nowhere in roosevelt national forest, chilling, not being bothered by the like 10 other camping parties that would typically be within a quarter mile of your site.
