Colorado bound in a few days.Staying at least 2 weeks. Going to paddle browns canyon for a while and then figure out what's next from there. Looking for free and inexpensive camping areas(that take close to browns canyon with trees and shade where a small 12 ft (16 ft including tongue ) can go.And dogs are allowed.Know there's some free camping along ar. river but looks like there's not shade. Want trees .Are there some with trees? Would like some USFS campgrounds in higher forest areas but don't want too long a shuttle to River. Trip came up fast and I need to be packing and don't have time for much research. Info and suggestions would appreciated.

It's not a campground but if you just want to camp go east on highway 24 from Johnson Village to 307 . It's just a dirt road beside Trout Creek . There's a few decent camp spots there right on the creek . No large trees but there's shade . I'm not sure how far from Johnson Village . Maybe 3 miles , maybe 4-5 .
