5 Acres 4 Sites. On-Site Host Enjoy the open space. See how stars can truly fill a night sky. Write your next novel. Cook up some burgers on the available grill and then set up the cornhole boards for a friendly tournament. Nearby Spinney and Eleven Mile Reservoir offer world class, gold medal trout fishing or get an early start to conquer a 14K ft. peak. There is a good chance you may see some Pronghorns roaming through the area as well. You are now right near the geographical center of Colorado. View the stars and the Milkyway Galaxy in some of the darkest skies in Colorado (weather permitting). The Perseids Meteor Shower 2023 was incredible to say the least! Escape the city hustle and treat yourself to the sounds of nature. The Stars are in your future. Enjoy Star Filled Skies!!

Rick's land was wonderful– the views were incredible and Rick was so accommodating. The views of the Milky Way were out of this world. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!

Sooo many stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me start off by saying the property owner is one of the nicest guys I've ever dealt with. We were having some trouble finding the exact location (not due to GPS) but we were confused because this property is roughly 10 miles or so off the "main" road. After turning off of the main road onto the first "unfinished" road we went and turned on a dirt road and went what felt like forever and he stayed on the phone with us (barely had signal which I expected) until we found the exact spot to camp. I noticed another truck and RV less than a football field away from us on the way in, no sooner than we got out of the car some guy came up and was asking what we were doing and explained we booked the site through here, he said he just bought a property out there and he seemed a little sketchy. The location was very dry, dusty and extremely windy. The owner did have a partial fence up around a picnic table which was nice. It was so windy that night my wife and I ended up sleeping in the car, didn't feel overly safe considering we were out in the middle of nowhere essentially and felt like that guy that showed up earlier could have came back and did harm to us while we were sleeping. Also we drive a sedan car and I wouldn't go back that dirt road again in in it. I advise to have a truck or SUV. *****MOST IMPORTANT PART TO ME****** Other than the owner being super nice, the stars in the sky here were unlike anything I've ever experienced. My main goal on this trip was to capture the milky way and when I looked up I felt as if I were in a planetarium I could see so many more stars than I could in our light polluted skies back home. I did get a great shot of the Milky Way! Overall decent place to stay. I don't blame the owner of this property for the random guy showing up just thought I'd put that out there. I would stay here again providing I was in a different vehicle.

Quiet getaway
We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of stars at night that’s for sure. Also plenty of wind during the day so come prepared however things calm down at night. We only had one car drive by in 3 days so I’d say it was very private even though you’re not far from the dirt road. Our favorite part was how quiet it is at night. Something us city folk don’t take for granted.

Getting to this location seemed challenging, but GPS is able to follow the dirt roads and take you right to the tire marks. They might be a little hard to see but you can't miss the fence that is in front of the water source along with the large tree mentioned in the instructions. If there is a fire ban in place be sure to bring some warm clothes. There are no obstructions and it can get windy. Luckily for me the wind died down around the time the sun set. I'd recommend buying an appropriate sleeping bag so you can fall asleep looking at the incredible night sky and not be too cold when the temps drop over night.
