Gypsy Boondocker Paradise

4 sites · RVs40 acres · Model, CO
Boondocker sight available, completely private butted up against the Comanche national grasslands and within minutes of the pinon canyon maneuver site. Horse pasture available for an additional small fee weekly or monthly. Dogs and other pets welcome but no aggressive dogs. I'm on site in the event of an emergency and have a mud truck that can get out should rain or snow make roads unpassable. This place is accessible without 4 wheel drive almost year round except if heavy rain or snow turn the road to a grease pit The property is within two hours drive to pikes peak, cripple creek turquoise mine, multiple gold panning sites, the royal gorge, Canon city and many other places. Local attractions to include the Colorado wolf and wildlife center, balloon rides and breakfast sunrise rides, helicopter rides, white water rafting, hiking, Rockhound opportunities, wildlife viewing, trantula watching, only 150 miles from Las Vegas Nevada and within a couple hours of Santa Fe NM. On the original Santa Fe trail route. Chuckewagon suppers. Campfire singalongs and storytelling available through the host for a small additional fee. Gocart racing and cliffside four wheel drive tours can be arranged with the host. The opportunity to drive a mud truck can also be arranged with appropriate insurance and security deposit. Leather craft classes can be arranged as well guided hikes for the timid. Additional classes like pottery and jewelry making can also be arranged. Horseback riding lessons might be available in the future but are currently not available. The saddle gypsy museum will be open on Mondays. The museum is operated by the host and contains saddles by assorted famous saddle makers and the host provides museum tours free of charge on every Monday from 10 am to 3 pm. I think that about covers everything. I might do something like a goat milking or cactus jelly and wine making class to. Rates are a hundred a week or 325 a month. Stays less than a week are available at 20 dollars a night. This is a dry camp so only self-contained RV boondocking is allowed. I currently have I spots that provide each camper privacy and beautiful views. Most RVs can get in but it is 10 miles off the pavement on minimum maintenance roads. A video of the road tough spots can be provided if a boondocker is unsure their rig will go. My own rig is a 15000 pound Thor toyhauler fifth wheel 34 foot pulled in by a non 4 wheel drive truck with no problem at all.

Cedar Hills Oliva Ranch

6 sites · RVs, Tents105 acres · Walsenburg, CO
Cedar Hills Oliva Ranch is a 105-acre ranch with nine 11.6-acre campsites, each of them on beautiful and varying heights and terrain, with a secluded feel as each is located out of view from the other campsites. They are excellent for "primitive" camping year-round, and comprise wildlife (deer, elk, bear, hawks, antelope, etc.), grassy meadows, cedar-covered hills both gradual and steep, sandstone rock formations, seasonal white sand arroyos, and the occasional cattle wandering through. Because of its southern Colorado geography, snow typically does not accumulate deeper than 3"-4", even in the deepest winter months, so it makes camping just as easy and pleasant from November through March. Each campsite has its own character and unique views of nature, so nine camping trips on each of our sites will feel different from the previous adventure, each presenting a distinctly intimate feel. Additionally, a great benefit of Cedar Hills Oliva Ranch is while campers may enjoy deafening silence and see every star in the Milky Way Galaxy on a clear night, just 10 minutes from the ranch south on CR 69 lies a 24-hour gas station and three fast food restaurants. From there, another 5 minutes south, is the historic town of Walsenburg, where you may find expanded restaurant choices, a Safeway, and hardware store for other provisions - and more! In case of a "medical mishap," Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center is approximately 18 minutes from any of our campsites, and open 24 hours. Lastly, while not visible from the ranch, a new cell tower was erected approximately 2 miles northeast and is very reliable from anywhere on the ranch when having a clear view of the eastern horizon. We look forward to hosting you and your fellow campers at Cedar Hills Oliva Ranch. It is beautiful, private and secluded, and provides a great environment for all ages and levels of spirit. And if needed, the anchors of modern convenience and necessities are not far. If not heaven itself, we feel our ranch is at least in the same zip code. See you soon!

If camsites are full, contact me. There is tons of space. Upon arrival, come straight down Cottonwood Avenue past the private signs where the asphalt ends and straight to the Teepee. We are on a Peninsula with the river on one side and an irrigation creek down the other. We own 1/4 stretch along the river across from the riverwalk and downtown. The "Trinidad" lights shine down from atop Simpsons Rest which is a public area. It has an incredible view of Trinidad ans hidden caves and areas to explore as well. The area we own is Picketwire Valley. It was renamed Picketwire because the French couldn't pronounce Purgatory. The French retreated to Simpsons Rest are were surrounded by Indians and were starved etc. The large caves they hid in, have since covered over.
