Muskitty Acres Farm is on the site of the oldest certified organic orchard in Colorado. Only three miles from the nearest town, Paonia, our farm borders on the north fork of the Gunnison river to the north, the ditch line to the south, and farms to the west, which means there are no main roads and no traffic at all, save from the railroad line that runs near the ditch. (Trains tned to go by 1-3 times in every 24-hour period).
Expect the land to be bumpy and somewhat overgrown.Areas near the river bank cleared for tents, or pick a different spot after seeing the property. There is also a camping spot suitable for most RVs, which is near the train tracks.
Most camping spots have a secluded feeling, there is no city noise or lights, the area is sparsely settled. Night skies are very often clear and starry. There are hiking trails near. No hunting or fishing on my property.
Terrain is generally rough, no facilities -- bring your own water! Trash disposal possible. Your cell phone might not work! Bring your own camping toilet. Due to possible fire ban, be sure to communicate with me in advance if you plan to have a campfire.
This farm is pet friendly, but I have small animals that free range, so please plan to leash your dogs unless we test them with my small animals.
This farm has good river access, but is also just 47 miles away from Penny Hot Springs and 80 miles away from Orvis Hot Springs, both clothing optional.
Paonia Town is only three miles away, atmosphere is small-town, artsy.
