Prairie camping w/ mountain views!
Our group really enjoyed camping on Cody's land. The views of the Sangre de Cristo range was spectacular at sunset and sunrise. The dark skies are simply incredible as one can see the Milky Way, constellations, and a bonus treat for us - a SpaceX StarLink line of satellites! Directions to Cody's land is very easy if you use the XY pin on the app. Neighbors are not too near so there is a degree of privacy certainly but keep in mind, it was wide open prairie. Would highly recommend this site for future HipCampers!

Seclusion in the wide open space
Cody's Lot 41 camp was great for us. We wanted to get way away from everything and this was it. Wide open field with no shade, but we camped over new years & enjoyed the heck out of it. A couple of items to take note of:
1) the road names on goggle do not match the actual road sign names. Cody ensured that the red dot on the 'google directions' button was correctly placed. Also, there is a map within the images posted that shows right where lot 41 is located.
2) Be advised that you'll be in a wide open field with very little protection from the wind and shade. This was no issue for us, but know that you'll likely be getting some level of wind out there.
The property is adjacent to a VFR airstrip. We were able to see a few small private aircraft take off & land.
Overall, we really enjoyed staying out there & exploring Westcliffe and Walsenburg. I will keep this one bookmarked for us. Oh - There is also a wolf sanctuary about 30 miles south of Cody's spot. We wound up spending a whole day there. (missionwolf .org)

Remote, dark, quiet. Not much to it, but it is really close to great hiking. I saw multiple shooting stars. Spectacular.

Pull off and take in the view!
Great spot to pull off while on the road! Easy to find if you follow directions and though there are houses in sight, it’s still far enough way to feel private. I drove into town and stopped in Bootleggers which had great food and good people! The view of the mountains and the stars was absolutely gorgeous! On my drive out at sunrise I saw lots of wildlife and somehow no people which was a nice break from reality. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous views of Sangres
Want to test out your systems on raw land with a drop dead gorgeous view of the Sangres? Maybe even get a bonus landing of aircraft at the local airport? You'll love this location. Cody was great to work with and super responsive.
