Our new favorite free campsite in Creede, Colorado!
Summary: We're going to a place we've never been but has been on my bucket list for a long time, Creed Colorado. Follow us as we continue our road trip through Colorado visiting the historic cave dwellings of Manitou Cliff and the famous Garden of the Gods. Today we're heading to a hidden gem with some of the best free camping we've ever found. After leaving our beautiful mountain location near Colorado Springs, we travel to Alamosa, a larger town than expected. We visit Creed, an old mining town, and enjoy the spectacular views of the surrounding nature. Then we attend the annual Salsa Fiesta at Creed, tasting homemade salsas and voting for our favorites. We then explore the Bachelor Loop, a historic driving tour that offers breathtaking views and the remains of historic mines. We finally leave Creed for a mysterious new destination in the next episode.
Exploring Creed, Colorado
Exploring Creed, Colorado
We're heading to a place we've never been before, but has been on my bucket list for a long time. Creed, Colorado, is like an old boomtown mining town, and we're going up quite a climb right now. We climbed what, 2,000 feet in the last few miles, 3,000 feet? We are at 9,400 feet now.
A picturesque little town
Our first stop is in the small town of Alamosa, which is actually much bigger than we thought. There are two colleges here, a Safeway, a City Market, and lots of other things. We go to lunch because we are hungry, get gas, empty our tanks and refill our fresh water. We were lucky enough to find a delicious, super fresh and very cute lunch inside. Then we're at the Maverick, where we can empty our tanks, fill up fresh water, get gas, and do laundry.
An unexpected discovery
We found a beautiful spot just five minutes from town, with forest service roads and stunning rock formations. We're going to park our campervans here and explore a bit, because this place is absolutely beautiful and what's more, it's free.
The Salsa Party
We were lucky enough to attend the annual Salsa Fiesta, a really cool local experience. There were 18 different stops with homemade salsas, and we even got the chance to vote for our favorites. The town of Creed is full of little surprises like this, and we loved every moment we spent here.
Exploring the Creed area
If you visit Creed, be sure to set aside plenty of time to take the historic Bachelor Loop driving tour. This 17-mile route takes you through breathtaking scenery and the remains of old mines. It is a must-do experience for all adventure lovers.
Back on the road
After exploring Creed in depth, it's time to get back on the road. We are on our way back to a new destination, with wonderful memories of our time at Creed. Thank you for following us, and see you next week for new adventures!
