Glacier Mountain Camp

If you have the proper vehicle (high clearance and 4WD) and want to be secluded with AMAZING 360 views, then this spot is for you! Enough hiking trails (technically Jeep trails) to keep you occupied. AND THE STARS!!! 🌠🌟🌛 Highly impressed. Will absolutely be back.

What a wonderful surprise to our trip in Late July 2020. We had another location planned out in Souther Colorado and it was just too hot, so we headed north and at the last minute secured this camping site. Christopher answered several questions the moments before I booked it, was prompt and informative. Now comes the surprises... only because we booked at 5pm and headed to the site straightaway. I’m usually a planner and there was no time to research the area, so we just went. The reviews said we needed a high clearance 4x4 vehicle to get there and we had that, and are glad we did. It is located on a Well known forest service road near Montezuma on the OHV trails known as Saints’ John and deer path up and over Glacier Mountain. THe camp is on the Saints’ John side just up at the tree line. Not a lot of wind break or shade in the actual camp site, but the forest and mining relics are right there to explore. We arrived after the sun had set behind the mountains to the west, and it began to rain hard. We waited it out and surprisingly the ground at that elevation dried out almost instantly. We had a large family tent with a footprint of 10x 13 and it was a little hard to find a flat spot without boulders but we managed. The real treat was discovering the OHV trails that went beyond the campsite upon leaving after 2 nights there. We saw mountain goats and stood on glaciers, traveled over amazing mountain peaks and ridges, and meet many awesome people all on their own journey in the mountains. My two young sons and I had an amazing adventure there, We will be back again soon.

Things to consider: You are quite a ways from a town with a store or gas station. Fuel and stock up before you get to Keystone on the way to Montezuma. Plan to contain food and trash in your sealed vehicle, there are bears and other wildlife up there to share this site with. There is no cell service at the camp, but a steep drive to the top of Glacier Mountain (20 min?) will find a weak signal. That being said, be sure to download driving instructions and maps ahead of time. Also look up OHV and trail maps of the area so you know what else there is to do while there.

Book this spot. You will not regret it!

Very exhilarating drive up to the site! Definitely need a 4x4 truck or ATV to get up to the very top safely and quick! It was an amazing experience once up top! The views were insane and beautiful! Would definitely recommend to people who are wanting to wake up to mountains and chill breeze!

One of the most breathtaking spots I have ever seen. The road is no joke, so definitely have 4wd + good clearance on your vehicle. Host is great and answered all my questions promptly. Would absolutely camp here again!!!

This is a fantastic place on all levels, thanks Christopher!

This site was amazing. Private, with gorgeous views and the stargazing was incredible.

Being alone in 50 square miles was awesome! Seeing the Milky Way at night is amazing.

This camping site was just as we expected with breathtaking views ❤❤

The site had amazing views and looks of area to walk and explore. We had a great time at our stay at Galcier Mountain!
