We purchased 40 acres several years ago and built our home on the west side. We wished we could better access and appreciate the amazing views on the east side so we built two off grid cabins and a campsite. We have been encouraged to share this very special location with others.

Horsetooth Panorama Point

90%

(5)

45mi from Federal Bay Campground · 2 sites · Tents, Lodging

Wake up to some of the best views in Northern Colorado. This private camper retreat at Horsetooth Reservoir offers sweeping panoramas of the Front Range, including the distant peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park, the rugged profile of Horsetooth Mountain, and the city of Fort Collins stretching across the plains below. From the camper or your tent, watch the landscape change throughout the day. Mornings bring soft light over the reservoir and foothills. Afternoons are perfect for relaxing outside and taking in the wide-open Colorado sky. At sunset, the mountains glow in shades of gold, pink, and purple before the lights of Fort Collins begin to sparkle below. After dark, settle in beneath the stars and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the foothills. The camper provides a comfortable home base for exploring everything the Horsetooth area has to offer. Spend your days hiking or mountain biking on nearby trails, paddling or fishing on the reservoir, climbing at Horsetooth Reservoir’s famous bouldering areas, or simply finding a quiet place along the water. Fort Collins is also within easy reach, making it convenient to visit local breweries, restaurants, shops, and Old Town before returning to your peaceful mountain escape. This is an ideal stay for couples, solo travelers, outdoor adventurers, visiting parents, or anyone looking for a relaxing Colorado getaway without giving up convenient access to town. The real luxury here is the setting: fresh mountain air, dramatic skies, abundant wildlife, and panoramic views in nearly every direction. Bring your morning coffee outside, enjoy dinner with Horsetooth Mountain as your backdrop, and end the evening watching the city lights come alive beneath you. Colorado’s foothill weather can change quickly, adding to the wild beauty of the experience. Guests should come prepared for sunshine, wind, cool evenings, and the occasional fast-moving mountain storm. Wildlife may also pass through the area, so please admire animals from a safe distance and help us protect this special place by keeping the site clean and respecting the surrounding land. Whether you’re planning an active weekend on the reservoir or simply want a quiet place to slow down and reconnect, this Horsetooth camper offers a front-row seat to some of Northern Colorado’s most spectacular scenery. Come for the adventure. Stay for the sunset. Wake up to the mountains.

Buckhorn Creek Sites

43mi from Federal Bay Campground · 1 site · Tent, RV

Property is 40 acres and has multiple spots to camp on. There is a significant amount of creek frontage and also a scenic overlook at the top of the mountain. The property is in the middle of a valley and is very quiet and no lights, so it's a great area to relax and see the stars and hang out with the family. The road to the property is 44H and is county maintained road with wide clearance so a regular car or RV can make it just fine and there's a large area for parking at the base. To get to the top of the mountain I would recommend 4x4 as it's a steep road, or you can walk up. Because it was dry this year I would not recommend a fire unless it's contained in the fire pit and is small.

Enjoy a stay at this cozy little rustic, dry, one room mountainside cabin. Disconnect from Wi-Fi (none) and chaos to view sunsets, wide open, star filled, and moon lit night skies with the Milky Way and a few satellites as a bonus. The Little Cabin offers a mountainside basecamp, getaway, vacation or a more scenic overnight travel stop to allow you and your fur baby to enjoy some Wyoming open space. A microwave, insta pot, mini fridge allow for simple meals to be prepared for inside or outside dining or stop for a meal in any of the communities along your way here. Bring water, cabin is dry. I do keep some basics in the cabin so if you are traveling grab a meal, snacks and some water, the cabin is stocked with the rest of what you'll need for a night's stay without having to unpack the vehicle. If you're traveling I80, the Little Cabin is a great place to enjoy the sunset or just a peaceful night's sleep after enjoying the Snowy Range Scenic byway in the summer, and the back way (a possible work around if the interstate is closed) in the winter, or I80 coming from the east, it's an easy exit off of I 80 and then 30 miles here. If you're coming in from Denver/Ft Collins, Co area, Poudre Canyon is a beautiful drive and can take you thru Walden, Co or bring you in on Wyo 10. Feel free to reach out if you have questions on the routes, scenic stops, cut overs or short cuts. There is Hiking, Fishing, Snow Shoeing, Cross Country skiing, Downhill skiing, (Snowy Range Ski Area) Hot Springs, Mountain Lakes, Plains Lakes, the Big Laramie River, all with in a 7-to-90-mile radius. There is public access, dogs allowed, to the Big Laramie River across the highway where you can fish or walk the public access path that runs alongside it. Watching the wildlife is an experience of its own. From Chipmunks to deer, we see an assortment. If you enjoy birds and their sounds, you can pick a spot and enjoy. If you are a weather watcher, you may see 3-4 seasons in one day depending on the time of year. It's a great place to snuggle in, read a book, write a book or a song, watch a downloaded movie or just sleep, but disconnect from the chaos, the alerts and ground yourself.
