Need Idea for Campsite for Bachelor Party

Post by Broderick22 »

Hey Everyone,

So one of my best friends is getting married and I am in charge of organizing his bachelor party. We have decided to do a camping trip and I want to find an awesome location where we can camp easily. Somewhere that 10 vehicles can reach, probably not all Jeeps or Trucks. Ideally this locaiton would have great views and some good hikes around it, not necessarily 14ers. Also, he is a fan of guns so we may be bringing clay pigeons. We will be there Friday - Sunday. We are looking for something that is maybe off the beaten path a bit and definitely not an established campground.

Any ideas would be great!!! Thanks

Sounds to me like Texas would be an ideal spot!

Haha it does sound like that. Unfortunately Texas sucks and I want to do something cool in Colorado. If it was just me camping it would be no problem, I like more remote areas. Because it is a bachelor party I am trying to find somewhere that will be a good fit.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. https://www.nps.gov/blca/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Get a few camping spots, hike around, drive into Montrose and shoot at a gun club/shooting range.

This post can't be for real

Definitely don't shoot clays in an area other than a designated shotgun range.

Ok well it seems that this is just going to diverge into an argument on guns. First off I love Colorado and have hiked many of its mountains and in no way want to litter or create a nuisance to others. However, shooting guns on public lands is not prohibited. In fact, the BLM sais target shooting is legal in most public areas as long as you dont leave garbage behind. For this reason, clays may not be the best idea. I dont shoot hardly ever but my friend does which is why he wanted to include it in his camping trip. Its amazing that you say the word "gun" on a hiking forum and everyone freaks out. There are responsible people out there that shoot guns, hunt, hike and use the environment correctly.
