I camp every year on Lake Dillon for a week or two after school gets out. It's not free, but its convenient and some of the camp spots are really nice

There's national forest and free camping up towards Hoosier pass (past Breck).

There's some good camping in Montezuma area right next to Keystone. There are sites right off the road as well as a ton of sites on 4x4 trails further down the road.

This. There are definitely some trails where you would prolly want real high clearance, but I got a stock Mercedes SUV pretty far up Webster's Pass just outside of Montezuma
