Camping In The Rockies - A Unique Experience

Serene, majestic, and private location in southern Rocky Mountains on 340 secluded acres at 9,000 feet elevation.

This setting is for those who love nature, peace, quiet, and outdoor beauty along with a chance to truly connect with those you bring with you to share this experience.

Location has fire pit, shower, camp toilet, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, picnic table. Just bring food, beverages, your personal items, family and friends.

This site is unique because of the amazing views, access to 340 pristine acres, dark skies to watch the stars, and variety of animals in their natural habitat. See photos.

Mountain biking trails have been professionally developed and are included in the base cost which open up the property and allow you to experience a national park setting without crowds.

There are no traffic noises, just wind through the pines.

NOTICE through end of June:
1. We are expanding what we offer our guests and are constructing an authentic Hobbit Hole :-) which we expect to be available late summer or early fall.

2. We have 340 acres of land - a whole mountain - and during the completion of this Hobbit Hole addition you have your choice of several sites to camp. We will show you when you arrive and try to send out pictures and a map of the available locations - one portrayed in the description and photos and others that are more remote on the property. Remote locations will have fire-pit, camp chairs, and picnic table only.
THE SETTING:
Breathtaking views in a private location on 340 secluded acres. Here you can truly get away from it all. A lot of creature comforts, but no electricity, internet, TV, etc. Potable water available at no charge. Firewood available for a $5 fee (about 1/2 price compared to in-town purchase).

Owners/hosts live nearby and are a short walk away if you need anything. You'll hear the wind in the trees, birds in the summer, and elk bugling in the fall - but no traffic, sirens, or other 'city' noises. The wonderful smell of pine, cedar, and spruce will refresh you as you relax around the fire and fall asleep at night.

FIREPIT and EVENING SKIES:
Log seating surrounds the firepit. Firepit use subject to state and county restrictions. The skies are black, and there are so many stars that it's difficult to find familiar constellations. You'll see the Milky Way arching across the sky at night.

The Perseid meteor shower occurs in mid-August, reaching peak activity around August 15. What a show! Be patient, and you'll see the International Space Station and other satellites passing overhead on clear nights.

KITCHEN and DINING:
Redwood picnic table and benches, dish washing pan (and detergent), authentic enamelware plates, bowls, cups, and spoons. Flatware, glasses, cooking utensils, pots, pans, dish towels, salt, pepper, sugar, french press coffee pot. Locked container is for food and trash.
