Just completed a 2700+ mile trip thru Colorado, Arizona and Utah. Incredible places to see. As this is specifically a camping site, here are the camping photos. For a full trip report, click here:

Baily, CO (just east of Durango). Stayed at a great little place called the Pine River Campground, an excellent spot if you are just passing thru. Clean, quiet (even tho it's on the main road), decent service. Grills provided and they take care of the ash. about 2 minutes to the grocery store, clean bathrooms with showers and plenty of hot water (bring your own soap and towels of course).

Arches National Park, Moab, Utah. Stayed at the only campground in Arches, I would highly recommend making reservations, I did about two months before the trip. Nothing like waking up in this amazing place. An impeccibly clean campground, I was seriously impressed. Fire pits with grates at every site, you can buy firewood in the campground (altho you'll save a few bucks buying it in moab). Ranger on site was very friendly. Bathrooms were clean and potable water available on site.

Nice pictures, since I live in the flatlands, I sure love that area of the country.

The entire trip was incredible. The camping in bayfield was convenient, clean and inexpensive. Not my usual wilderness camping, but it served it's purpose well.
