Working through my boat camping plans for the summer. Looking at doing Powell 1-3 times this summer but will be camping rather than house boating. I'm looking for ideas on great tent camping sites and on how to get all my gear and and gas out there and minimize trips back to the marina.
Basic plan is to put in at Halls or bullfrog (*i live in Colorado Springs) and then drive 20-30 miles or so up river and set up camp. I've gone south the past couple of years and have been underwhelmed by the quality of water. Any recs for locations north of bullfrog?
Also, looking for ideas of a gear/gas hauler. We can fit all the gear in the boat (22 footer) without too much effort. The bigger issue is gas. I burn through about 20-30 gallons of gas per day on average so need about 150 gallons for the week. That means I need to figure out a way to get ~125 gallons of gas out there. Any ideas? I'm thinking of figuring out some sort of Jon boat based barge that I could put the gas into but am a little to a lot concerned that it will end up sinking while towing it.
Thanks
Bakes
