Rainbow Lakes Campground

18 sites · RV, Tent

A little ways west from the hippie mountain town of Nederland, Colorado lies Rainbow Lakes Campground.

A popular spot for Boulderites seeking a more rustic mountain getaway, this campground provides a satisfyingly remote experience. Pack up your poles—fishing and hiking—because there are excellent opportunities for both up here. If you stay a while and end up craving a taste of civilization, you can always check out nearby Nederland for a good beer and a bit of mountain weirdness.

If you are a straight couple/family etc.. you will have a great time. Rick will be warm and welcoming, friendly, and inform you how to deal with bears and moose nearby. My girlfriend and I (two women in our 20s) on the other hand had the worst experience. One of the first lines out of his mouth was homophobic, so luckily we both ‘pass’ as straight. He asked us if we were together in which we had no other choice but to say no. He came back multiple times throughout the night, telling us ironic/suggestive stories of “young women” trying to get his money. I am exhausted having to protect myself from men who treat women this way. If one of us had been a boy, he wouldn’t have given us a second glance. I am so sad a man like this has authority.
