Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Pitch your tent or park in the upper pasture and enjoy the view of the Animas Valley. Just 8 miles north of Durango off of the million dollar highway. Across the road from Honeyville and across the river from fun at the Bar D  Ranch or James Ranch Harvest Grille.  Durango Mountain Resort is just up the road.  Horses and cattle grazing in the pasture below and the apple trees and the honey bees are in full production this year.  No other view like it of the Mission Ridge red cliffs with the silhouettes and glow at sunset.  At night you may hear the Animas River below or some animal sounds. Name the constellations among the amazing view of the stars!  Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent or park in the "sloped" pasture and enjoy the view of the Animas Valley.

We absolutely loved camping on Melinda’s ranch! She was so accommodating and had more on-site than we could possibly need! Our pup loved the fenced field, and the apple trees were a fun surprise. Stunning views, private site and the road noise was minimal - we’ll be back for sure!

We loved our stay on Melinda's property. Beautiful view of the red cliffs, level spots to camp. Camp fire pit with wood, electric outlet, water, and latrine provided. Very private. Thank you!

Melinda was very friendly and did a thorough job making sure we were taken care of. She had everything we needed and more. This is a good spot if you need a quieter spot just outside of Durango to relax at the end of a long day of adventuring.
