Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
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.
