Great little getaway!

I truly enjoyed camping here, in spot #5. The shelter is big enough for my queen size air mattress, luggage, and 2 dogs and their bed. I love that the propane is provided for the grill as well as a heater in the shelter, it saved me from having to pack those items. The shelter gets WARM with that little heater, just be sure to crack the window for air supply to the heater so it won’t kick off. You may be able to get to the site without 4x4 or AWD, but it’s better if you do. I met Rick while I was there and he’s a super nice guy, and accommodating. The only thing I want to mention is that you can still hear the traffic of the highway, but overall I definitely recommend this place and will use again in the future!

So fun, so cute, hip camp

Really love this camp! Would be a great jump point to many other adventures, but I came up on it randomly. Road in totally doable in most vehicles, road out more difficult. Bring all the things, bedding etc, grills and heaters available. Will totally be back for more mountain adventures.

Cozy stay!

Stayed here for one night & wished we could have stayed longer! Rick’s site was perfect for us after snowboarding. Stayed here during the high wind storm. It was nasty outside but the heater kept us nice & warm! Heater was easier to start than expected (set to pilot, light, set to desired heat, and voila). Will def be back when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the outside amenities!

Cute, quaint, and quiet!

100% will be coming back! It’s right off of I70 so it makes for a convenient drive to and from. Cell service is a plus! The heater SAVED us during our winter camping excursion.
