Thanks, ReneeG. The wife wasn't sure she wanted our secret spots shared, but I've learned so much from this forum and the people who post here, I couldn't hold back. These next pictures are from a place I'd really prefer kept secret, but the word will get out eventually on this gem - if the Beetlekill doesn't do it in. Jacks Gulch, Larimer County, Colorado

Another great set of pics, FlightCrew. The last photo looks like a spot we dry camped at in Eastern Idaho, near Driggs called Teton Canyon, a FS CG on the road to Grand Targhee ski resort. Secluded with Moose in camp daily and signs of Grizzly Bear. I'll have to post some pics too.

Great Photos of a great CG.

Been to Jack's Gulch CG...just riding through the CG to take a look at it while camping down the road at Mountain Park CG along the Poudre River.It really looked like a lovely CG.

So have you had problems making reservations online over on recreation.gov for Jack's Gulch CG? Why I ask is because every time I check out the CG's reservations on that website..the only site available/open is the group-campsite. I don't understand why that site is the only one online showing as open.

HAPPY CAMPING!!

Another great CG...thanks for sharing.

We have camped at Flatiron Res.CG and really love it there. [emoticon]

BTW...do you remember what campsite number you camped at (in the photos)? The site looks very nice indeedy. We have booked two separate camp-outs at Flatiron Res.CG for this coming summer. Can't wait to go there again!

Mountain Park looks pretty nice, but we had a hard time getting reservations there, so we tried Jacks Gulch. You can't reserve spots at JG, it's all first come, first served. I see what you mean on recreation.gov and reserveamerica.com about that campground, was just going to blow it off, instead took a drive up to see it and it was well worth it, one of our favorites.

The dirt road there is in pretty good shape, gets steep and narrow at times, and dispersed camping all along the way. Not a lot to do there, but that's why we like it. There are a couple of old military crashed airplanes in the area, someday I'll try to locate them.

That is F27, and definitely pay attention to the high water markers all around the reservoir. Unlike Carter or Horsetooth that go way down and stay there until they refill it months later, Flatiron will go up and down within the matter of hours. There are quite a few very nice sites there, F24 and F10 come to mind, but all of the sites along the water are great.

Below is our first campground with our new hybrid. Glenwood Canyon RV Resort, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Nice place, the river is great, but the train across the river is brutally loud a few times in the middle of the night. Pic taken 6/30/10

The next stop on our Grand Canyon trip was Lake Powell. Below is our spot at Wahweap Marina RV Park & Campground. Paved roads and spots, sparse foliage, blazing hot temperatures - but then again, this pic was taken 7/3/10. The lake is a whole lot of fun.

Finally, Las Vegas New Mexico KOA. It's a pretty typical KOA, but at least it's fairly high altitude, some trees, and cool temps for the middle of summer. Pic taken 7/8/10.
