With over 100 km of biking, hiking, snowshoeing, and ski trails, you can enjoy amazing Canyon Creek views or swimming in warm spring fed lakes. Just step outside your door!

2 nights at Moonraker Treehouse & Cabins

We had such a lovely stay! Claire was very responsive. All of the directions to manage the treehouse were clearly outlined and the treehouse looked exactly like the photos! We came during the winter time and there was an abundant amount of wood to keep the tent warm! Overall, we had a beautiful stay with everything we needed.

1 night at Moonraker Treehouse & Cabins

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Claire provided clear, thoughtful, and detailed instructions and information every step of the way, from our questions prior to booking, to the instruction booklets on site that ensured a stress free stay. The property itself was very easy to find and navigate, and the treehouse was absolutely magical. You can feel the love and care that the hosts have put into the property in every detail, and we felt as though they covered every aspect of comfort we could possibly ask for, providing plenty of wood, blankets, and simple, but much appriciated amentities. The treehouse is also within comfortable walking distance from the parking area but is still private, which allows for the most breathtaking and scerene viewing of the mountains and birds in the area. I can't say that I have ever stayed somewhere that has compared to this, and would easily choose this experience over any luxury hotel, even considering our snowy morning. Our only regret is that we only stayed one night, and would definitely recommend booking two or more nights so you can take advantage of the hiking trails and appreciate it too it's full extent!!

I love the GlamperVan! We only stayed the night as we were passing through but I could see myself spending more time here someday. Nicole was incredibly communicative and easy to chat with. Dane, the campground manager was super friendly and helpful too which was fantastic. The place was easy to find from Golden, and once we were on the property it wasn’t hard to follow the signs to the van. The campsite was already set up for us when we arrived and had everything we could possibly need for the stay. Yes, there were lots of mosquitos but you have to expect bugs in the woods! Just a fantastic stay and a great place to get away! Thank you for having us!

3 nights at Canadian Rockies Retreat

Our three night stay was amazing! We had so much fun and definitely plan to go back again. The site is exactly as described. It is perhaps a bit rougher camping than more typical campsites/rv sites but was made more enjoyable for it. The site is only 20 minutes out of Golden so you have very close immediate access to any necessities you may have forgot There is no service or power so keep that in mind when packing. The roads immediately leading up are, as seen in the other reviews, a bit rough and agree with the 4WD recommendation. Another thing that would have made the unpacking and packing easier was a cart/wagon on wheels as you do have to walk your things from the vehicle to the site. The mosquitoes can be persistent so use bug spray/coils/thermacell etc to help manage and maybe have an enclosed canopy so you have somewhere to relax away from them. There were so many lakes within easy driving distance (less than an hour) for swimming/paddle boarding/fishing. 10/10 would recommend!

The GlamperVan under the stars is a super cozy spot. I had found it for breaking up a long drive to Alberta and only stayed the one night. I would love to stay a longer period and enjoy all the amenities. Nicole sets everything up and has the spot ready for you to enjoy a quiet camping experience without having to bring all the gear. The spot was easy to find and navigate, the view from my site was gorgeous, and I am looking forward to booking here again, maybe the Honeymoon site next! Thank you, we had a great stay.
