Bliss Camp in Sapphira Gypsy Wagon

We lucked into this spot for the Fourth of July, and we couldn’t have been happier that we did. It was short notice, so we wanted something that wouldn’t require us to haul all our gear in. Dot & Byron have thought of everything, so basically all you need to bring is your food.

The campsite is fantastic, even better in person than in the photos. The wagon is cozy inside and has solar electricity,. The kitchen has a gas stove as well as a full selection of pots, pans, and utensils. It overlooks the stream onsite, which makes for really pleasant cooking. There’s also a bear box in the kitchen to keep your food in while you’re away. They’ve strung the kitchen and wagons with solar powered lights, so it’s easy to move around the campsite at night, and adds to the general charms.

For nature, there’s a pond onsite that runs into a stream, with a trail running along the entire site. Dot & Byron both encouraged us to explore, and take a dip in the pond (note: it’s cold! But we did get our feet wet) There’s a hammock and swing chair overlooking the stream. The stream also provides very nice white noise. There is a ton of hiking, climbing, and mountain biking a short drive away as well.

The owners are very friendly and attentive, and made us feel right at home. They’ve done a great job of setting this place up, and anyone who stops through is sure to have a great time. We’ll definitely be back, hopefully with friends!

Excellent stay! Beautiful area to explore both onsite and nearby! Everything was so clean and tidy! Also Dot provided some incredible recommendations for local hikes!

We absolutely loved our 6 night stay in this beautiful spot! We spent a couple of days just hanging out there. There is a lovely stream and spots deep enough to get in, as well as a hammock and swings to relax and take in the views. The outdoor kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. The solar shower was a great touch too! The wagons are perfect- the nights were cool for sleeping and so much more comfortable than sleeping in a tent! The location is amazing- close enough for a quick drive to Lyons but also an easy drive to Rocky Mountain. Brainard Lake is also an easy drive and definitely worth the trip (and wait to get in at times). Dot was a lovely host and she does an awesome job of cleaning and attending to all the details around camp. This would be a perfect spot to rent both wagons for a group. There is shared space if you are only renting one and another group is there but we were able to communicate and stay away from each other during these weird times. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

This was more than I could have asked for when looking to connect with nature, silence, terrific accommodations and great host. The unique gypsy wagons had everything one needs and comfortable. I look forward to returning here in the future. Enjoy!

Our Family of 12 including four grandchildren under 8 -savored every hour we spent at this site. From lounging on paddle boards on the pond to rock climbing the rocks on site with anchors, and cooking in the well equipped kitchen, everything was Perfect. We will be back if we can find an open reservation! Book it!!
