Site 2 - Vail Valley Backcountry Access Tent

Back, backyard camping.

The perfect location to set up base camp or just “get away” for a night. Close enough to town for a good breakfast when you don’t want to cook and still in the mountains near trails, rivers and lakes for fishing. We got rained on the whole trip but there was a lean-to we could set up our “kitchen”.

Site 3 - Vail Valley Backcountry Access Tent

Gerry is a kind and thoughtful host who made sure to swing by and check if I was settling in okay. We chatted for a bit in the morning as well. I was only passing through briefly but I’d book this site again. Thanks, Gerry!

Site 3 - Vail Valley Backcountry Access Tent

A nice ranch style site.

This ranch style Hipcamp site is conveniently located outside of Vail and had everything we needed for a pleasant night. Stay! The host was super responsive to our messaging and made sure we had everything we needed.

Site 2 - Vail Valley Backcountry Access Tent

CO native traveling from western Colorado for Lacrosse Tournaments for my kids. Hotels and eating out is not cheap. It was just what we needed. Gerry was super nice and welcoming to us and our dogs. Clean, quiet, safe. We stayed two nights and traveled back and forth to matches. We were able to leave things at our site without worry. Traveling alone with kids gets interesting. I was more than happy with my our stay, host, and our spot. Easy access to I-70. Thank you so much. Will definitely stay again.

Sunrise/Sunset Red Canyon/Flat Tops

Muddy but good location

Overall, the site had everything we needed. It was however extremely muddy. We left early so the ground was a bit harder but our motorhome almost got stuck. Close to a laundromat about 10 minutes away and wasn’t too bad of a drive getting to the ski resorts since most of the traffic is coming from the other direction.
