Hey folks-- looks like I'm making my way out to the Denver area this August and I want to grab a campsite for a night in the middle. I was looking at Fremont Indian SP near Richfield, UT. It's only a mile of I-70, which is good. Anyone heard of it? Just need a good spot to pitch a couple tents, cook a meal and burn some firewood for the night.

Thanks!

 

Can't help ya up there. If you were taking the southern route, I could help.

Sounds like a great road trip.

 

No worries-- thanks for the reply. I guess nobody out there has heard of this Fremont Indian State Park? I talked to the ranger and it definitely seems like a good bet since it's exactly half way between L.A. and Denver and only a mile or so off the highway down a dirt road. Hopefully, the fact that nobody knows about it means it's nice and quiet and not that it's abandoned and scary.

 

I have no idea....all of my suggestions would be within a few hours of denver! Sorry dude....What brings U to town?

 

Wife said that that was a nice park 15 yrs ago when she camped there.the museum is very nice and it has good amenities not far from town but far enough to be quite

 

We'll be out there for a concert, actually. Phish at Red Rocks.

Thanks for the info! I think I'm gonna give it a shot. It's only a night anyways. I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

My first Jeep picture was taken at Red Rocks...

 

I have not been to that Campground but Richfield is a nice little town. Very ATV friendly. There is a KOA there too with cabins I think. It's gonna warm in August.

 

Nice!

I hear ya about the heat... I guess tenting it will give me incentive to get up early and get on the road. From what I've read, the campground is on a dirt road that leads to some ATV trails-- but I don't know how much traffic it sees.
