50 + Lazy Camping

 Hi, This is a Forest Service campground really close to Vail Colorado. Its in the White River National Forest. The Gore Creek Campground is 8,760 Ft. elevation. There are 25 sites, with about 7 being walk-in sites. Some sites are on the reservation system and some are first come on arrival. We car camped but if you bring an RV it would need to be 40 FT or less in length. All the sites are without hook-ups. You need to bring your own water also. We were in space 3. The amenities are picnic table, fire pit/grill, and vault toilets. The surroundings are aspen and pine trees. There are 2 trail head within walking distance of the campground. Deluge Lake Trail and Gore Creek Trail. They go into the Eagle Nest Wilderness Area. Dogs are allowed on leash. Here are some of the other campsites that looked interesting. Sites 7 and 8 are very private if reserved together with someone. Site 12 would be good for RV and tent. Sites 12 and 13 are next to the creek.  Directions: I-70, exit 180 to the s

On May 30, June 1 and 2nd we camped in this beautiful location which included a swift moving stream.  We are members of Harvest Host + Boondockers Welcome. Our camping rig only qualifies for Boondockers Welcome at this time but since we haven't finalized our camping style, we did the combination membership. This location is called Year Round Creek and its by Mesa Co. This place was great for listening to the creek while having coffee in the morning. The night sky was so clear since there aren't any lights here to dim the view. We will be returning here on a regular basis. LAZING CAMPING: Make this egg casserole at home then freeze half to be heated at camp. Use nonstick spray on 9 x 13 pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut up 1 can grand biscuits into pan and top with 1 package sausage crumbles and 2 cups of shredded cheese. Combine 8 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8th tsp pepper and pour on the cheese. Bake 35 minutes. Have a good day and night, 💕 50+  Lazy Campers
