I was there this summer. There's no free camping, if that's what you're looking for (I know it's what we were), but if you check on Climbingboulder.com, you might be able to meet someone who will let you sleep in their driveway.
Boulder canyon has all the climbing you'll need. 12+ miles of rock on both sides of the road.

There is free camping on the West side of gross resevoir off of Magnolia Road which runs out of Boulder Canyon. You will need a 4 wheel drive to get there and will have to tolerate rednecks and two strokes. This is the closest area to Boulder Canyon. There is also good free camping in Rollinsville on Apex road up by Moffat tunnel. I think you need a permit for all areas up there. It would be a fifteen minute drive to either Boulder Canyon or Clear Creek Canyon. You can also camp near Allenspark next to some OK sport climbing at the iron clads. The nearby Ironsides are awesome if you like long 5.11's. You can pay to camp at Camp Dick and will be close to some decent bouldering about 10 minutes to the Ironsides and twenty minutes to Boulder Canyon. This is about all the camping there is in Boulder.

It's embarrassing that it's so hard to find a place to camp in Boulder. WTF,O? In addition to the locations on the above post, there are Forest Circus campgrounds along the Peak to Peak Hwy between Black Hawk and Estes Park. THere is a AYH hostel in Boulder 303/4421116 which some climbers have used.
Good business idea here....
