Google/Adam G. Wilbur In our opinion, Oh Be Joyful is aptly named, as there is no way you can be there without feeling a sense of serenity and pure bliss. Nestled away near the always stunning Crested Butte, Oh Be Joyful is open from July through September and is not only a great place to camp, but also to hike through wildflowers as well. The best part? Campsites only cost a cool $10 per night and can be reserved by calling 1-877-444-6777.
