3. Apollo Ranch

(177)
43km from Thornton · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes · Bennett, CO
Gated-entry 5-acre property featuring a 50-foot asphalt pad with water and 50/30/20-amp electrical hookups. The RV site accommodates rigs up to 38 feet, and additional tent sites welcome smaller RVs, camper vans, fifth wheels, and traditional tent campers. Enjoy an easy pull-through setup, wide-open country vibes, and beautiful views of Pikes Peak. Despite the privacy, you’re only 35 minutes from downtown Denver, 5 minutes off I-70, 28 minutes from Denver International Airport, and 20 minutes from Aurora Reservoir. Groceries, fuel, and local diners are just 5 minutes away. With minimal light pollution, this is a great spot for stargazing. Dogs are welcome, and an off-leash area is provided. Dry/split firewood is available for purchase at $10 per tote. Let me know if you’d like a more descriptive version that feels outdoorsy and adventurous—or a more concise, listing-style version!

Falkor Ranch is located on rolling hills on the Palmer Divide about an hour southeast of Denver, Colorado. Located at 7,000 feet with a beautiful view of Pike's Peak and the Rocky Mountains. Your camping fee includes a farm orientation, indoor plumbing that includes a shower. You will meet our beautiful alpacas and Nubian goats that we have for milk, weed control and just because they make us happy, as well as a flock of laying chickens for fresh eggs. We have a variety of gardens and a year-round geodesic dome greenhouse that provides us with fresh produce. This is a quiet country setting. There are many popular and diverse activity sites less than an hour away. Come escape the hustle and bustle of home, and enjoy the beauty of nature and our loving animals. We offer both tent and RV listings to suit however you like to travel. We have a hot shower, bathroom, picnic tables, potable water, and trash and recycle bins. Our RV listing has both 20 and 30 amp electrical hookup but no water or sewer hookups. Our guests love us too! "We had an amazing time here! Diane is so sweet and showed us all of their beautiful friendly animals and plants when we arrived and even offered fresh goat milk and a plant starter! The land was gorgeous and we got to watch adorable goats from our tent. One of my favorite camping experiences ever!"
