Where can I go camping without having to stay at a man made campsite?

I want to go back country camping in the colorado mountains, but every place i’ve looked up have ready-made campsites and no fire policys. I just want to find a place, set up camp, and live off the land for a few days. Any advice?

Living off the land may be illegal since it usually includes hunting and trapping that may be out of season but…

In Colorado, you can camp on Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service managed lands in areas outside developed campgrounds. This type of camping is called dispersed camping and is actually encouraged!

Over 200 Colorado wildlife areas also allow camping without an actual campground, but they usually designate an area for camping.
