More to explore!
Dot and Byron’s property is beautiful! We camped out in our travel trailer with our three and 5-year-old kids and our two dogs. The kids loved exploring all the trails and streams/ponds and enjoyed the hike that’s right on their property.
Dot and Byron are fantastic hosts and very welcoming! I would definitely recommend.

Bliss RV Site
We loved this spot. Our camper was right on the creek; there was a lovely trail up the canyon right from the camp site. The creek had some wonderful swimming holes for our dogs. Dot and Byron were super friendly and accommodating and we really enjoyed chatting with them. St. Grain canyon is just gorgeous with lots of hiking and fishing and rock climbing opportunities all over the place, plus the town of Lyons is just about 10 minutes away and has a lovely café and general store and restaurants. Overall this was a lovely and secluded enough spot but not too far from “civilization”… we would definitely come back.

Premier HipCamp Experience
I’ve stayed at 20+ HipCamps since this app’s inception and I’m still floored by the experience Dot and Byron provided. From the fully stocked kitchen to homey personal touches, the amazing location, local trails, and THE WAGON. Wouldn’t suggest a thing, just book it already :)

The Perfect Spot
Dot and Byron have thought everything for this camping spot. All you really need to bring is clothing and food. It is also in a GREAT location - only a 25 minute drive to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountains! Can't wait to come back again!!

Gypsy camping in Colorado
We had a blast! Dot was wonderful and so incredibly helpful advising us on planning our hiking trips based on our experience and interests. We had purchased our day passes to RMNP but had not taken the second step to reserve times entry passes which she went above and beyond to help us secure up at their house. That being said, this is a great place to go and unplug, enjoy nature and family. Internet access is limited which was fine by us! All I cared to do was charge my phone so I could take pictures of our wonderful trip.
We are from Texas and we were concerned we would be too cold in the Gypsy cabin at night as temperatures were expected to be in the 30’s at night. We had no problems and slept well and warm through the night!! The fire pit was enjoyable sit around in the evening and recap our experiences of the day. our The kitchen amenities were perfect for our needs. We kept it simple and cooked out 2 of the 4 nights we resided there. On our way to the place, we stopped at the Walmart in Lyons. There is also grocery shopping in Estes Park.
The property was beautiful; places to walk, explore and rest by the streams. We would definitely return!!!!! Loved every minute of our trip!!!

Beautifully curated space!
Wow - I loved staying at Dot & Byron's beautifully curated and thoughtful space! I arrived and immediately received a tour of my space as well as instructions for using the gas fireplace, propane heater in the tent, and hot water (lifesavers in the cold October evenings!). Both Dot & Byron were kind enough to share their knowledge about the area - the history, the wildlife, etc. There was plenty of hiking on the property, as well as comfortable amenities like the picnic table and fire pit chairs if you prefer to take it easy. My dogs roamed free and I didn't have to worry about them running into traffic or getting into trouble, and we all left refreshed and tired after our short weekend getaway!

Glamping at its finest!
The Frontier tent was fantastic!! The outdoor kitchen and fire pit everything you could need and then some. We cooked a steak dinner with all the fixings for heavens sake! And if that weren’t enough, the scenery is breath taking. Dot and Byron also provided great advice on things to see in Nederland as well as Rocky Mtn Natl park. Barley, their dog, was an added bonus. We absolutely suggest a visit!!

Legit Glamping Experience
Dot and Byron have set up a lovely spot for you to enjoy the outdoors on their property. Typically the photos on a site like this are not to be trusted, but the Bliss Camp tent setup was awesome, just like the pictures. All of worst bits of camping have been negated by the Very comfortable tent and bed. The outdoor kitchen was awesome, and the hot water was such a nice treat.
There are a few bugs, but it’s high altitude, so nothing like down low. Lots and lots of critters abound. If you don’t want to enjoy nature, this place probably isn’t for you 😅. Also, the high altitude makes for drier air, so take that into account.
All-in-all this place is glamping at its finest. We hope to go back.

Beautiful Froniter Tent
The Frontier Tent was beautiful! We had all the accommodations we needed. The scenery is amazing, we walked around & checked out the balancing rock & the stream. Definitely recommend staying here!

Marvelous glamping site, comfortable as can beautiful.
Beautiful and peaceful.
My young children and I had a very special time together.
For them, playing in the creek and tracking a Moose path were the best, but they had a fantastic time telling stories around the fire, too.

10/10 GREAT STAY
We were greeted by Dot upon arrival who gave us a great tour of the place and what to expect. The stay itself was amazing, everything from the location, the campsite itself, and the St. Vrain trickling down the road.

Beautiful cozy camp
The gypsy wagon was perfect as was the beautiful site and outdoor kitchen and shower. The structures were immaculately clean and the quality and craftsmanship of the woodwork was beautiful and well designed. The bed was very comfortable and solar lights provided ample light and created a cozy atmosphere. The property had plenty of comfortable seating areas spread around the creek and other structures. The host was very accommodating and helpful with vast knowledge of the area. We really enjoyed our stay there.

The camp was great! Would definitely stay again, cozy site and amenities and a beautiful corner of forest and trails to explore. The water flowing through the property is a stunning feature. Lounging on the hammocks next to it was amazing!

Bliss Camp in Sapphira Gypsy Wagon
Beautiful, peaceful, clean, friendly, convenient, and exactly what I was looking for.
I'm 8 month pregnant and was craving a night under the stars (but didn't want to sleep on the ground). Dot set me up in the screened in tent which felt like I was sleeping outside, except for I was on a comfortable queen bed, and it was perfect. I enjoyed a sunny afternoon by the creek with a few dips, and a peaceful fireside yoga session. I would 100% return.
Thank you so much, Dot and Byron!

Glamping at its finest!
Very beautiful spot. The covered wagons were comfortable and the creek was fun to play around in. Our host thought of everything you would need to make a comfortable stay, including towels for the outdoor shower. Loved the spot and want to come back and rent both wagons for a girls weekend. Thanks!

Great dog friendly camping!
We loved our long weekend at Dot Byron’s. And so did our dogs! The river/swimming hole is a highlight. If you like to hike, ask Dot for her favorite spots. If you like to camp but don’t want to do all the set up and break down of pitching a tent and setting up for cooking, this is definitely the place

Perfect home base for RMNP!
This could not have been a more perfect place to stay during our time in and around RMNP. Dot & Byron we’re very sweet, and Dot went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The property was gorgeous, the tent was cozy, the bed was very comfortable, the kitchen had it all, and the shower was hot! I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Our family had a great time camping at Dot & Bryan’s. The campsite is adorable and tent is very cozy and comfortable . Our kids had a good time riding their balance bikes in the terrain and playing in the creek on property.
The location is also great - close to Lyons so good restaurant options . If you don’t want to eat out , their outdoor kitchen was amazing to cook in .
Dot and Bryan were communicative and good hosts.
Overall, this was a great spot for our weekend getaway .

Peaceful forest getaway
Perfect weekend getaway! Couldn't have been more happy with how the site was set up. The location was perfect, loved the privacy and quiet. Very peaceful with beautiful veiws (trees, flowers, and easy access to take a dip in the stream on a hot afternoon). Dot and Byron were such kind people and had everything we needed (including chairs, dish/hand soap, grill, drinking water, all kitchen supplies, and even a french press!!) Upon arrival Dot greeted us and gave us great hiking recommendations for our time at Rocky mountain national Park. Definitely going to recommend this place to all my friends and hope to return again!!

Perfect stay close to RMNP
My boyfriend and I just returned from 4 nights in the Shimza wagon. It was perfect! The owners have thought of everything you might need. All you need to bring is your clothes.
Before our trip, I messaged the owners a couple times with questions and they were quick with responses. We met Amanda when we arrived. She showed us around and provided instructions on how to use all the amenities.
This camp is super special. The wagon was cute and just enough space for 2 people. There was solar power to the wagon, so we were able to charge devices. The bed was very comfortable.
The kitchen area is shared with another wagon. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook a meal. Stove, sink with hot water, and grill. Everything is clean. All utensils, dishes and pots/pans are provided and in great shape. There is a bear locker to keep some of your stuff. There is a shared outdoor shower that is amazing. The water is hot. The bathroom is a porta-potty is a bit of a walk down the driveway.
The property has a little swimming hole that is fed by the St. Vrain River across the street. The water from the creek falls down to the swimming hole and then down another fall to the creek that you can walk alongside or in if you brought your swim shoes.
The property is about 30 minutes from RMNP. There is no wifi or cell coverage at the property but if you need to use wi-fi to get time entry tickets to RMNP, you can walk up to the owner's porch to hop on their wi-fi.

Perfect rest after RMNP hikes
Our family had a wonderful time at the Frontier Tent! We spent 3 nights here while hiking in RMNP and this spot was the perfect place to come back and rest and relax. Everything was spotless and easy to find. Would definitely come back here again if we can! Thanks Dot and Byron!
