Tip for Other Campers:
Use sewer dump($7) in Poncha Springs at the Visitor center (Hwy 50 and Hwy 285 intersection, look for small blue signs pointing the way) and they have a potable water spigot (winterized) on the side of the building by the dump site labeled "Donation $5". Sewer dump at Forest Service Office on Hwy 50 is closer, but more expensive$10, computer credit card...

Tip for Other Campers:
