DENVER (KDVR) — Gov. Jared Polis announced Monday that camping can resume at some Colorado campgrounds, with proper social distancing measures in place. Polis asks that campers retrieve any necessary items (gas, food, etc.) they need to camp in the areas in which they live to limit exposure to other counties and areas.
