"Camping - the delight of picking a place - fresh, beautiful. Here are no wearisome sermons - comfortable, commonplace and humdrum. Instead, there is an escape from every phase of civilized formality, from all the fixed societal laws of action. Here we find ever-changing scenes: new furniture in the dining room every day and every meal. Suddenly, the great heaven is lighted with ten thousand gleaming worlds. Peaks loom like white spirits at rest. Like some spectral vision, a great shoulder reveals itself here, and a tall peak there, looming fitfully through the mist like phantoms from the spirit world."

Here I'd like to put in a plug for Zapata Falls Campground, built in 2009 using stimulus funds from President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The campground is located 1000 feet above southern Colorado's San Luis Valley and offers sweeping views in every direction. In terms of car camping, it is one of the top three most spectacular campgrounds I've ever camped in!
