Sugarite Canyon State Park

1 site · RV, Tent

The beautiful, high-elevation wonderland of Sugarite Canyon is just begging to be explored, and what better way to do it than on horseback? If that sounds like a true statement then you probably want to stay a few days at Ponderosa Horse Camp. This easy to access camp is right between Lake Alice and Lake Maloya, the latter boasting an on site equestrian facility. There are only a few designated horse corrals available for camping, so consider reserving in advance so you can have a worry free getaway for you and your hooved companion.

Buffalo Bluff

17mi from Ponderosa Horse Campground · 1 site · Tent, RV · Jansen, CO

Fisher's Peak Ranch is a private community with 2 access gates. The rental camp site is approximately 3 miles into the ranch from the gate. The first 2 miles are well maintained ranch roads, with the last leg climbing up to the top of my 35 acre ranch. Most of the year the road is fine, but heavy snow or rain has required a 4 wheel drive at times. You'll be overlooking the city of Trinidad, with an extremely stunning view of Fisher's Peak. Electrical power is available with 30 amp RV connection, and several 110V standard outlets as well. Enjoy complete privacy as the site is on the end of a dedicated road. From the camp site, you'll be looking down at Simpsons Rest and the entire city of Trinidad. To the south, you can see parts of Raton Pass. Watch the clouds light up with the sunsets. You'll be taking lots of pictures, everyone does.
