Great stop!
We stayed for four nights while we were waiting for parts to come in for our small Class A motorhome. Danny provided a great place to park the motorhome. We were entertained by Danny’s friendly dogs and some deer that came by each morning. It was interesting to walk around his farm and see the various types of equipment he uses. The Blue Angels air team provided a special touch to our stay with their air show. We hadn’t planned to stop at Grand Junction, but if we had to breakdown somewhere, I’m glad it was near Danny’s on that weekend.

The place was easy to find, the hosts were nice, and it was quiet. But, it is a farm! No desert views or wildlife viewing. And all campsites are on dry grass with foxtails, which were a real nuisance, especially for the dogs.

Quiet shady spot in the desert
Danny was a great host! Site was private with plenty of shade trees. There was also a picnic table and fire ring at the site which I was not expecting. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Delightfully quiet place
We stayed in one of the two sites by the creek and under its bluff and found it to be a very private, quiet place. In the pre-dawn hours we were treated to a chorus of birdsong. Over the course of our three-day stay we identified at least 20 species of birds. A fox also made an appearance. The site is excellent for a pop-up camper or camper van, but perhaps less ideal for a tent as it’s in a rough meadow. There’s a colorful picnic table and a fire ring. We were very happy to be able to have a campfire after so many years of fire bans. That’s not something we were able to do in the Colorado National Monument. We also enjoyed a number of different half-hour walks around the farm including along the irrigation ditch. Especially good at sunrise/sunset. A very polite ditch rider did let us know, however, that ditches are not public access. Good to know! It was a pleasure to meet Danny and his three dogs.
