Beautiful camp sites and very accommodating host! And great trail into the town of Rico right from the campsite. Not too far from telluride right along the river!

We really enjoyed staying at the ranch !
We were literally right on the rivers edge in a beautiful and secluded setting. Jaq was very helpful and attentive. Supplied wood every night and even a smores pack for the little one !
We will definitely be back when we are in the area next time

Great location, right on the river, and able to take the 1.5 mile trail to town. Jacqui and Ken were both extremely helpful and accommodating. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

Jacqui, Rick, and Major Henry were excellent hosts. The campground was wonderful, and I was lucky enough to experience both the campsite and a cabin.
Campsite was clean, had amenities, and was right beside a beautiful sounding river. If you can sleep with that white noise, I'd suggest the cabin heh.
Cabin was, again, clean, cute, and warm (temps were hovering around freezing when I visited). The bed was super comfy and there were places to plug in devices for charging and what not.
Lastly, and this is a biggie, Jacqui and Rick were laid-back, friendly, and accommodating. They were excellent communicators and quickly responded to either text or calls. You could tell they loved the campground and took pride in making it better each day. They also offered suggestions on great hikes and day trips in the area. Major Henry (the pup) is mostly in charge of the campground, though he is on duty most of the day, he will take time from his rounds to come visit and play. :)
Summarizing, excellent campground, worth the money. If I'm back in the area, I'll make their campground my home base again. Highly recommend.

We had such a good time camping at this spot! Jaq is an amazing host- she made us feel super welcome and her pup is the cutest!! The campsite was very well maintained with a nice deck to pitch the tent on. All the amenities we could have needed were available, including a porta-potty and small hand wash station. Jaq did a great job of giving us our space while also being available to help with whatever we needed- she brought firewood to us both nights we were there, and gave us great recommendations on places to grab a bite, hiking trails, and fishing spots. I caught a beautiful rainbow trout right in front of our campsite. Rico is super cute too and and just a couple minutes up the road. This is a special place and we’re looking forward to visiting again!

Jaq has the most beautiful property to spend a holiday weekend getaway. She made sure we had all that we needed when we got there. The area is so serene and beautiful. The river is right next next to our camp, what peace it brings. Only thing I'd complain about is the short amount of time we stayed. I could definitely stay a few more days to explore and live in such a peaceful serenity. We will definitely come back and stay longer. Thank you for you hospitality Jaq!!!

Really nice host and very accommodating. Site was along the river, peaceful and quiet. It appears they are renovating the camping sites a bit or adding to it. Keep in mind this was the only camp site (that we stayed at on our 10 day trip) that does not provide fire wood, you do have to purchase it from the host. Port-o-potty at our side for all campers to use, so maybe suggest staying further from that so you don't hear the door at night.
The site is just outside of the small town of Rico. Highly suggest stopping by the adorbale coffee shop in town! Super good coffee, really sweet owner and cute merch!

Love this place! I will definitely stay here again next year. Jaq is an amazing host. The bed is very comfortable and the campsite is beautiful and clean. It was so relaxing hearing the river and being able to smell the trees.

Site 1: Jaq was incredible! Checked in to make sure we didn’t need any additional supplies and provided what we did need. This site is secluded and further from the rest of the property. The river is beautiful, running right by camp. Bathroom and picnic table are communal, so a little bit away to be used regularly. Location is wonderful- small town Rico has a great coffee shop for mornings, close to Telluride, Canyons of the Ancients and Mesa Verde NP. Definitely check it out

We had a great stay in the cute little Aframe cabin. Jaqui had everything you would want and need. The queen size bed was super comfy. We loved little Rico.

It was really pleasant to be at the beautiful campsite and the river sounds were so soothing. Jaq was friendly and had water and firewood available. Rico is a short, nice walk away. Our group of 5 felt very comfortable and enjoyed it here. Definitely double check the location description because my experience with google maps put it in the wrong spot ( it is South of Rico)

Had a perfect stay at Jaq’s campsite. If you don’t want to be at a cramped campground, you’ll love this place. Jaq was a very attentive host.

We had the best time camping in Rico! Jaq was so kind and helpful! We enjoyed getting to know her. The campsite was secluded and spacious but still close to town. We can not recommend this spot enough. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the unique area and all that it has offer.

The host was very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. The campground is remote and private. Our site was right by the river and the sound of the water lulled us to sleep every night.

Overall I had a great experience. I am a newbie to HipCamp and didn't realize that the listings aren't always accurate. I have a teardrop trailer and I thought I was reserving space for my camper. However, Lazy Rooster Ranch isn't licensed for campers, just tents. The location is beautifully set next to the Delores River and Jaq had an open cabin (an A-frame with a queen) so I stayed there. Learned that I must confirm all reservations made through this site with a full confirmation phone call.

I loved the land with the Dolores river running through it. There is a nice trail along the river that takes you into Rico. We had lunch and drinks at the local pub along with our dog. A nice, peaceful place to land for a few days.

Jaq’s spot is super cool! Absolutely recommend. I had site 2 which looked into the valley and oversaw the river, it was spectacular. Jaq’s hospitality is unrivaled. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went well. Clean bathroom, firewood and ice for sale, dumpster, and incredible views.

My family loved camping on Jaq’s land! Such a little secluded spot- even though there were other campers there (we didn’t see or hear them the entire weekend). She was such a sweet host and her little pup was the cutest. So close to the river, with great access to it and the hike along the river was really nice. We will definitely be back again!

Lazy Rooster Ranch // Cozy Cabin
We loved this experience. Rico is a hidden gem and this property was situated right on the river and a miles walk to town. It had all the basics including a propane fire. Would absolutely come back!

As the youngsters say, "this place slaps"! My wife and I stayed in one of the A-frame little cabins and it was amazing. Cozy, private, and beautiful views. The highway is up above you but you can't hear it at all, nor see it. Plus its pretty remote so its not like there's a bunch of folks coming down the road anyhow. Jaq had everything we needed. If we thought, oh we forgot this, it was hiding somewhere for us to use and put back. Power packs so you could charge your electronics, games, and even a gas fire pit bc who wants to go camping/glamping and not stare at a flame at night... The Dolores River runs through the property, so I spent a morning and an afternoon fly fishing while the wife drank cold ones watching from the bank with the dog. Caught fish. Couldn't believe it. Love when a plans come together.
