Too Many Bugs at This Colorado Creekside Campsite | Phantom Canyon Van Life

Phantom Canyon, Colorado had everything I look for in a van life campsite—beautiful scenery, a rushing creek, dispersed camping, and a historic route that follows an old railroad through the mountains between Florence and Cripple Creek. I spent a few days exploring the canyon, listening to the creek, watching summer thunderstorms roll through, and making a fresh loaf of bread in the van. I also worked on a few camping and van upgrades while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. But there was one problem... The bugs were relentless. What started as a perfect Colorado camping experience quickly turned into a battle with swarms of insects that eventually forced me to pack up and leave. Join me as I explore one of Colorado's most unique scenic drives, discover the history and legends of Phantom Canyon, and experience the highs and lows of creekside dispersed camping in the Rocky Mountains. If you enjoy van life, dispersed camping, off-grid living, scenic drives, camp cooking, and honest travel experiences, you're in the right place. 👍 Like, Subscribe, and follow along for more full-time van life adventures.
