Rand McNally maps lie! This is the second time that we’ve started along a nice scenic short cut only to have the paved road become dirt even though it’s marked on the map as paved the entire way. We thought that we would drive from Woodland Park to outskirts of Denver through Pike Forest and skip the interstate. Instead we hit an extremely rough road and had to backtrack and take the interstate anyway. There was another way which would have been shorter but with no internet we didn’t have any way to verify that the pavement would not end on that route too.
We spent the night at Osprey Campground which isn’t much of a campground. The website says tent camping only but there’s enough room for RVs. It’s a gravel pull off with tent sites, campfire rings and porta-potties, no water, no tables. It’s right on the Platte River so there is a nice view. The river is very popular for fly fishing and tubing. Campground
