Historic Ranch at Mt. Princeton

Monika was very welcoming and shared a ton of information about the area, including hiking trails and other places of interest for us newbies to this part of Colorado. We enjoyed the solice of the field, feeding carrots to the horses, and walking through the farmyard to visit the (cleanest ever) porta potty) and buy our morning chicken and duck eggs. Since it is an open field, be sure to plan for some wind and chilly nights. Warm sleeping bags highly recommended. Buena Vista is a short drive away, so we it was easy to go in for a little shopping or a meal. Great experience overall!

We had a great time on Monkia's property. She was very welcoming and made the check-in process a breeze. In general, our stay at her ranch was great. Despite a strong breeze and not much tree cover, there was lots of level ground to set-up a tent and it was very quiet at night with a great view of the stars.

We had the most amazing time!!! Monika is a most gracious host. This is a perfect spot for families and we had so much fun meeting the animals and learning about the farm. We got eggs and honey and made family memories to last a lifetime! We are so grateful and recommend camping here to any families considering so. Thank you so much again Monika!!!!

Host was really helpful and interesting, explaining how/where she rescued her animals from. You are camping in a large field which can get windy, so bring a shade and mat/picnic blanket. Quick drive to town, but not a nice bike ride. The farm animals weren't wandering through the camping field, like I originally pictured. However, the host brought my family around on a tour to meet her rescue ducks, horses, bunny, llama, and chickens. My kids were able to hold a chicken. We also bought fresh eggs to cook up for breakfast.
The nightly cost was more than I would usually feel comfortable for considering there is no water or electric hook ups, but the fees help support her rescue animal work, so it felt worth it.

Monika was awesome. Very kind and her animal mission is very impressive! The camping setup is perfect. Just the basics in a private setting. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend staying here!

Awesome Hipcamp, Beautiful Views, Clean Campsites, Delightful hosts, Eggs from hosts chickens! WOW is the the word we used when we pulled into this place outside of Buena Vista. We had several nights of rain but always woke up to clear skies and beautiful rescued horses with the mountains for a perfect background!! Monika & Tim were so helpful and accommodating. We even watched fireworks with them in their front yard!!! Best Hipcamp by far!!!!

AMAZING. Over the course of a 3 week western RV trip, this was a memorable highlight. Where to begin. Yes, the views are 360-degrees of stunning amazement. But more than that the host, Monika, is a special human being. She was kind enough to take the time to not only show us around, but to tell us about the incredible work she is doing with so many animals - animals that are fortunate to have ended up with this special person. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful stay, this is the place. If you want to see some of the best of humanity, this is also your place. We loved it.

Wonderful time and beautiful place. Monika was great!

The ranch is beautiful and Monika is a great host. She and her husband Tim helped us set up the trailer since it was our first time RV camping. We're so happy we chose to stay here instead of an RV camp. We especially enjoyed seeing the beautiful horses right from our trailer's window.
