Learn more about this land: 180 degree views of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains and the Collegiate Peaks. 30 minute ride to the Royal Gorge for white water rafting & zip lining. 25 minute ride to Westcliffe & De Weese Reservoir. Pick one of the countless hikes in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains or tackle a 14teener. Mountain lake fishing is amazing. Bishops Castle is an hour away. Day trip to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. This spot is in a certified dark area so star gazers bring your telescopes! Lots to due and see simply a beautiful area with none of the traffic and congestion of the I - 70 corridor.

An incredible spot with a fabulous view! Can’t wait to book our next stay. We are torn between raving about this spot and keeping it a secret!

Great time
We had a great time. Definitely need a high clearance vehicle and at least AWD. 4WD would be better. We had creatures visit at night but no problems. A neighbor down the hill did ask what we were doing there but was friendly after we explained. It would be pretty tight with two vehicles. We had one up the road and one stayed parked at the bottom. Overall great experience! Great and communicative host! Thanks a bunch.

Great getaway!
This was a wonderful spot with awesome views & great space. We only spent one night but it was an easy getaway from Denver and the sunset & stars were beautiful. No issues making it to the site with our Outback (just take it slow & steady) and there was plenty of space for our car, tent, & table/chairs set up along with the fire pit. Our dog loved exploring the site & it was great to have the space up the mountain side that seemed private. The site is flat but rocky and splurging with our air mattress in our tent was perfect. Make sure your prepared to bring your own water & pack out all your trash. The site was really clean! The only unexpected is that with the location you do get sound up from the valley neighborhood, not sure if it’s a common occurrence, but had 3-4 dogs barking on/off until 3am-ish…luckily we had earplugs with us. Didn’t see or hear any animals, other than birds, close to camp but did hear a pack of coyotes in the distance at night. James was a great host. He provided suggestions for hikes/food in the area & ensures his guest know their safety basics! Wish we could have stayed longer & hope to go back soon!

Camping here was amazing!! The spot was private with stunning views! James did a great job of making sure we got there safely and answering any questions, we felt very safe and comfortable staying at this spot. He wasn’t kidding when he said you definitely need 4 wheel drive to make it up the hill!
