By Camper T, on July 13th, 2012 Pinewood Reservoir Camping Overview
 Pinewood Reservoir Campground is a little camping area that is on the shores of Pinewood Reservoir. The main campground is called Windy Pines and you quickly why they call it that. Sitting on a small hill on the side of Pinewood Reservoir, this rough campground always has a breeze blowing through it. Luckily the knoll has a good smattering of pines so that helps to cut the wind down a bit. There are two other campgrounds here at Pinewood Reservoir but each only has a few campsites in it.
Pinewood Reservoir attracts a lot of day use from people along the front range, especially the Loveland area since it is only about 30 minutes west of the city.

Colorado’s camping season is considered to be between Memorial Day Weekend (June 25th through 28th) and Labor Day (August 31st to September 3rd). I know that seems far away now, but with the warm winter and spring just around the corner, some low altitude trips just might be in order!

By Camper T, on February 20th, 2012  On Presidents Day make sure that you take a moment to reflect on one of the greatest presidents and champions of America’s natural beauty, Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt. He was one of the most influential presidents ever to be in the office in regards to protecting and enhancing America’s plethora of natural wonders. Not with standing his efforts in politics, the economy, American rights and his far from standard foreign policy, he excelled at watching out for and protecting America’s natural beauty.
Here are just a few of his contributions that made such an impact on America’s natural beauty. He helped to make sure Yellowstone was reserved and protected from industrial interests.

By Camper T, on July 18th, 2011  Round Mountain Campground is a nice campground a little over an hour west of Colorado Springs on US-24. It is located within Pike National Forest and is just off the main road. There are few amenities here and this campground is not equipped to accommodate campers or RV’s. Small trailer campers will be fine here but this is primarily a tent camping campground. Round Mountain Campground does not have any water, sewer, or electricity hookups for RVs or trailers. This is an ideal camping back up location for the south end of South Park if your original choice of campground is full.
