Buffalo Bluff

17mi from Soda Pocket 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.

Soda Pocket has great views of Little Horse Mesa! The sites aren't quite as private as other places, but camping Sun-Wed doesn't usually leave a ton of people to be concerned with! Site 24 is before the campground entrance and is by far the most secluded. There are vault toilets (no running water, although there is a bath house by the visitor center) and very friendly camp hosts. There are 3 trail heads within walking distance of the campground and plenty more trails in the canyon. We really loved the Wapiti trail which had wild raspberries, fantastic views of the canyon & lake (and also a bear on the trail!) There's a lot of history in this old mining town-see the museum at the visitor's center! Also, only 17 miles to Trinidad, Co.
