\u201cOur most popular camping sites fill up six months in advance, so planning now could get vacationers a prime camping spot,\u201d said Mercedes Schwall, Parks and Wildlife reservations coordinator, in a news release.<\/p>\n

Among the state parks in Southwest Colorado are Navajo, south of Ignacio; and Mancos, just north of Mancos at Jackson Gulch Reservoir.<\/p>\n

In all there are more than 3,900 campsites and 50 cabins and yurts at state parks in Colorado, at elevations ranging from approximately 3,800 to 9,400. To see all the options, visit https:\/\/cpw.state.co.us\/placestogo\/parks\/Pages\/ParkMap.aspx. For reservations or more information, (303) 470-1184 or visit http:\/\/cpw.state.co.us\/buyapply\/Pages\/Reservations.aspx.<\/p>\n

Camping fees range from $10-$26, not including the reservation fee and park pass. Every vehicle entering the park, including RVs and towed vehicles, must have a parks pass for each day. Annual parks passes are $70, daily parks passes are $8-9.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting outdoors improves my mood and helps manage stress,\u201d said Ken Brink, parks and outdoor recreation assistant director. \u201cCamping at Crawford, James M. Robb, Mancos, Navajo and Yampa or any of the other state parks gives our family a place to socialize and engage in new adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages 42 state parks, more than 300 state wildlife areas, Colorado\u2019s wildlife and a variety of outdoor recreation.<\/p>\n
