Colorado, All or Multiple City Thread - Camping
 

There is a biker friendly campground in southwestern Colorado: the KOA in Ouray, Colorado. A tent area for motorcyclists. Truly one of the best KOAs I've visited: wooded area; by a creek; and super day rides.

I'll second that!
SUPERIOR campground in the chain, nice riding area!
They have a separate motorcycle camping area that's close to all of the facilities onsite. (The campground is large, and they ask that you not use motorcycles for transportation on the grounds....if you camp in the designated MTC area, you're within 75 yards of food, bathrooms...everything)
They have an onsite cafe we didn't sample.
The tent/mtc sites are grass covered, and shaded by tall trees.
I was trailering, so camped for 6 days at a general tent site in the rear of the campground that was very large and private.
The bathrooms are the best I've seen in a campground.
There is a supermarket 5-6 miles away, and plenty of tourist stuff...bars, restuarants within 2-3 miles in the the town of Ouray.
The owner rides, and they also have a Road King for rent, daily.

I plan on going back to Colorado next summer.
Ouray also has some reasonable motels in the 'non-peak' sections of the summer season.

Just got back from Colorado, and stayed at a couple of more campgrounds worth mentioning.

Gunnison KOA, very close to town, food and services. Good bathrooms!

Ouray KOA, see messages above!

Trinidad Lake State Park, Trinidad, CO.
Good for a state campground. Close to town. Good bathrooms. On CO 12, which is a great road.

I'm curently staying at Iron Horse
Motorcycle Lodge in Stecoah, North Carolina. We're having springtime thunderstorms and this is a great place to hang out.
The roads in the area offer superb riding, including the Dragon at Deals Gap, and are only minutes away. The owners are nice people and very motorcycle friendly. There are very comfortable cabins and a number of camp sites along a little stream.
This will be the site of the June H.U. meeting - perfect spot.
