🐝We have spent the last 11 years cultivating Bizzy Bee Farm into what you see today! Our goal is to bring our passion of land & animals to life by sharing our safe, responsible hobby farm with our neighbors, community and those passing by.
On the property, we have two irrigation ponds, dwarf dairy goats, chickens and a growing variety of pollinating plants for our bees. Walk to the nearby open space, enjoy a camp fire near the creek, collect eggs daily.

Welcome to our suburban hobby farm, minutes from great dining, shopping and entertainment. Nestled in an agriculture community established in the 60's. Many of the homes in the neighborhood still farm and have hay, cows, pigs while others prefer gardening and enjoying the sights and sounds. A perfect blend of past and present. Traveling with pets?

We are so fortunate to have the little slice of heaven that we have built our creek side mushroom, veggie and flower farm. We are building a labor of love and would love to have like minded folks joining our community by staying in Red Stripe Rhonda on the creek or our cabin on the cliff- The Little B. The 1950's Bellwood trailer could not be more charming with wood paneling, 1950's styling and positioned right overlooking the bridge on the creek. The outdoor heated shower has a view of the creek and a dry toilet. There are several seating areas capturing quaint vignettes of the farm fields, stunning views and produce. The Little B cabin boasts stunning views, terraced gardens, a hammock grove and a cozy loft. Feel free to look at our on farm events to learn, make and shop local here!

I live in a safe, quiet area between the city and the mountains (15min either way) with a nice big driveway to park your rig w/electric & WiFi. I loved the nomad life on the road for 2 years before settling here so I know how hard it is to find accessible, affordable, remote work friendly spots in Denver. The backyard is fenced in so if you have dogs that are fine with other dogs, they are welcome to play out there with my pups. Happy to give you recs on the city, hikes, let me know what you need ❤️

Welcome to our charming 2-acre meadow nestled in East Boulder. Just minutes from town - near bike trails, shops and restaurants. A great pitstop on your way to or from the mountains - or base camp for the adventures in Front Range. We aren't fancy, but we are convenient, cozy and safe. Gate code will be provided 48 hours before arrival.
PLEASE NOTE: We have entered MOSQUITO SEASON!!! This seems strange for Colorado but our meadow is surrounded by wetlands. It’s the worst when the sun is setting. Highly recommend bug spray.
We have spots in the wide open meadow for Tents, Motorhomes, Vans, Trailers, and Rooftop setups. The grounds are a bit sloped but we've got leveling boards (please leave them behind).
We've got Boulder's best eggs, a few walking paths through tall wild grasses, a campfire ring, solar shower, small sink, gas grill, and a lovely porta-jon.
We can handle RVs up to 45 feet - truck and trailer. It’s a big field, but a narrow, winding and steep gravel ramp to get in and out.
We have a community fire pit with free burn wood, though the big logs are few and far between; your own firewood is recommended - as well as an ax or saw. If it's windy, please skip the fire... the BFD is very strict about this!!
We have well water feeding a solar shower (only hot when the sun shines) and sink (non potable unless you have a filter).
We have a wading / dog pool continually refreshed from the creek. It’s a saving grace in the summertime.
Please help yourself to eggs up at the coop - look for the Venmo QR. The chickens free range during the day, so please MIND YOUR DOG.
THE GOOD:
*Easy in and out location close to town
*Lots of sun
*Outdoor solar shower
*Cold creek water plunge pool
*Fresh eggs
*Good view of small airplanes
*Community fire pit
THE BAD:
*Mosquitoes... they have arrived, recommend bug spray
*Daytime road noise
*Small airport nearby
*No Generators - no exceptions
*Almost zero shade
*Shower only hot when the sun shines
*Pool is fed from a creek
*Good Morning Rooster
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Safe travels!

The Fourmile Creek runs through our property along our large lawn area. Great views and you might see bear, deer, elk, moose, foxes, or even a mountain lion!
Walk-in sites are just a short hike, about 100 feet, on an unmanicured trail to our platforms. We provide the platform for your tent as well as access to all of our lodge's amenities; front desk, lobby, bar & beer garden, fire pits, grills, bathrooms, shower, outdoor common areas, free wifi, etc.

Our guests love us too! Check out what a fellow camper had to say:
"First time Hipcamper and A-Lodge visitor here, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re traveling to the Boulder area. The tent platforms were easy to get to and spaced far enough apart for privacy and generally a nice break from setting up a tent on a gravel pad. WiFi was stable throughout my visit and I was able to get some work done before heading home."

We loved being in Michelle's Perfect Driveway. She is wonderful. She answered all our questions and having WI-Fi is always nice. She was centrally located in a nice area between all the places we needed to be during our time in Colorado. I would definitely stay here again if we get a chance to come back. We had our 4 cats with us and they did really well in this quiet area.

Booked last minute and couldn't be happier! Just a small park spot that looked out onto flat land and mountains in the distance. The site was well maintained and the portapotty was clean.
Andy was super nice and accommodated me on very short notice.
I didnt get to utilize the fire pit or tables and chairs, but I would gladly visit again!
Just be aware the train tracks are riiiight there. I wasn't asleep yet for the first time and I was up early so the second didn't affect me. But it is loud!

Bonnie’s land is set up really well with multiple campsites in a peaceful meadow area. I stayed at Sideline, which was on the end, so I only had one neighbor. My 21' camper was easy to turn around in the meadow and I could pull right up to my spot without any trouble. The Russian olives were in bloom during my stay and smelled amazing. I’d definitely stay again!

Exactly what we were looking for: an easy getaway we didn't have to think about, allowing us to squeeze it in between other things we had going on. Brooke accommodated us last minute and responded to any correspondence immediately. The surroundings were beautiful and the clean porta potty along with the sink for washing were amazing. We loved watching the chickens, dog and cat on the property! Other friendly campers were around if you felt like being social or making s'mores but we were able to keep to ourselves just the same. The small planes flying over were cool and the incredible birds and their songs from our favorite Walden and Sawhill ponds next door make you forget you're not far from a road that gets you to anything you need in 5 minutes. Again, the perfect easy pause close to everything!

This was an amazing stay. The farm has 4 generations of family history and was originally homesteaded in the 1800s. I felt so much peace here. It was perfect. We got to see an air battle between eagles and Hawks. We watched prairie dogs and rabbits. We listened to the cows. We saw beaitiful sunsets and sunrise. It was quiet.
Practically: well located. Amazing views. Level spots. Super easy access. 5 spots around a central pasture with a communal grill and table.
The hosts are some of the kindest people I've met on my 10 month trip. You'll be welcomed from the minute you drive on the property.
A definite 10 out of 10.

Yetman Farms was a wonderful place to stay!
The host's were very friendly and welcoming, and their farm was an enchanting place for my girlfriend and I to spend the night. I haven't been to a farm since I was a boy, and the atmosphere there was so peaceful and serene.
I would highly recommend staying at their beautiful property and giving the host's the same care and respect that they give their guests.
