With a New Year and camping season we are pleased to announce that we have opened the South East side of the property for limited four wheel drive vehicle access and hike in camping with plenty of firewood. We have also opend a vast trail system that is perfect for hiking and those adventurous mountain bikers. On this side of the property you will have unobstructed veiws of the Mesa Verde, Sleeping Ute, and La Plata Mountain Range. This is truly the gem of the the property. If you really want that private and sucluded camp site, then this is the side of the property for you. This is where the wildlife enter and exit the property, so seeing the wildlife is greater on this side. This will also be an open camping area, if you like the spot set up your cot. Come celebrate the new spring life here at the ranch.
The largest Colorado ranch listed on Hipcamp in the Four Corners Colorado area, nestled in the Summit Ridge with views of New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and if you squint and lie just a little bit, you can see Arizona. Camp amid the wildlife, sunsets and mountain views. Enjoy the no light pollution sky. This is truly is a stargazer's playground.

Amazing property with spectacular views of Mesa Verde. There's plenty of wildlife, we saw a fox and found fresh bear and elk tracks close to our campsite. Robbin & Don were extremely nice hosts and told us a lot of interesting things about their land. They are still developing it. The property is huge and can accommodate both tents and campervans. So if you're looking for a quiet, natural place with great views of the area and teeming with wildlife, look no further!


Our stay was wonderful! This place is a true gem.
If you are tent camping, there is an amazing High Camp spot for the ultimate star gazing experience. Multiple other areas with great views for tents, vehicles, and RV’s that are secluded and quiet. There is AT&T cell phone service and you are just a quick, easy drive to either Mancos or Dolores. The hosts are incredibly nice and welcoming! We can’t wait to come back for another visit.

Thank you, Jacki!! We look forward to having you visit again. Safe travels! Hope your trip is full of wonderful adventures!
Robin and Don proved to be better hosts than we could have imagined. They are very kind and incredibly proud of the little world they have created on this off-the-grid, inventive, ever growing ranch. We will be back and you’ll want to be too.

We enjoyed the company of the Three Musketeers!! Looking forward to seeing y’all again! You’ll always have a campsite and hot meal ready at the Second Chance!
The hosts are amazing. Private camping spots with views. Very impressive. Highly recommended. Safe.
Robbin and her husband were awesome! Very hospitable and we hope to return someday.

We look forward to having you again!!
If you want privacy, this is the place. It is undeveloped and a natural experience.

Thank you, Mark! You are welcome at our spread anytime!
Robbin and Don (and their pups!) were such wonderful, attentive hosts! We loved touring the property and hearing about all the blood, sweat, and tears they're putting into making the Second Chance Ranch their dream home. We hope to come back to see the finished product! In the meantime, we enjoyed a site at the edge of the property with mountain views.

Thank you, Kathleen! We are glad you enjoyed our little corner of Colorado!
Don and Robbin were exceptional hosts. We loved the tour and then we were happy to be left alone for our camp out. I would be stoked to bring folks their way.
