High Prairie Camp backs up to a wildlife reserve. High altitude prairie, 360° view of the mountains. Open with wild grasses and flowers. Occasional bovine and wildlife visitors.

A small farm/homestead in progress. Rustic camping experience. Cell service spotty, but it's nice to disconnect sometimes!Please note that High Prairie Camp is at over 9k elevation, which means weather can be unpredictable so please check the weather ahead of time and prepare accordingly (especially by bringing warm clothes!) We do occasionally have mosquitoes so I would advise being prepared for that as well.

If there is not a fire ban in effect in my county, I allow campfires. We frequently have fire bans here. I would recommend a propane fire pit, they are always allowed. Also, GPS tends to take people on the "scenic route", it's approximately 20 miles of a washboard dirt road, beautiful but a little rough on car suspensions! I would recommend taking highway 285 through Fairplay, take highway 9 to Hartsel, get on hwy 24 go about 4 miles to CR 15/Elkhorn Rd. The camp is 4 miles down Elkhorn Rd. Take the 2nd entrance to Huerfano Dr on the left.
