What is the maximum duration of camping allowed in a state park across any given 28-day period?

In Colorado state parks, the maximum duration of camping allowed across any given 28-day period is indeed 14 days. This guideline is in place to help manage the use of park facilities and to ensure that the natural environment is protected and can be enjoyed by a wider range of visitors.

The rationale behind this limitation is to prevent overcrowding in popular camping areas, which can lead to environmental degradation and diminished visitor experiences. Additionally, this rule encourages campers to explore different areas of the park system, promoting a more sustainable approach to outdoor recreation. By restricting the duration of stay, state parks can provide equitable access to facilities for a larger number of campers while maintaining the integrity of park ecosystems.
