Mavreeso
Campground is not on any main road but is only six miles off Colorado 145 at Stoner.
On the west side of Stoner you'll find Dunton Road (County Road 38) that, as the
name inplies, goes up to Dunton. This is a gorgeous, winding asphalt road up a
beautiful valley. Because it is a little out of the way you won't be bothered
with traffic noise during the night. Dunton is a very picturesque old mining town
but has been turned into a very expensive, exclusive tourist destination and you
can only look at it. The road does actually continue and connect with Colorado
145 on the south side of Lizard Head Pass
but beyond Dunton it is a very bad dirt road. In a 4x4, or if you're good on a
dirt bike, that ride is beyond incredible. There is another campground on that
stretch past Dunton.
Amenities include tables, water, grills, fire pits, and outhouses. Firewood is available from the campground host. Set in a wooded area, most of the 18 sites have ample shade. Campground fees are $12 per night, $6 for an extra vehicle. Talk with the campground host about whether a second motorcycle rightly counts as a second vehicle.
