Little Scraggy Camp is located on 95 acres of an historic 160-acre ranch that was homesteaded by our family in the 1890’s, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This totally off-grid ranch is surrounded by Pike National Forest, yet has easy access from a paved road. We offer several accommodations and glamping sites, as well as sites for moderate sized RVs, travel trailers, truck campers, vans, tents, and hammocks. Additionally, we have sites for small groups (up to 16 people) and large groups (35-200 people). NEW FOR 2025 - two separate, professionally designed 18-hole disc golf courses with PDGA regulation baskets, and a Pro Shop with a free 9-hole putting course, which is great for those who have never played disc golf and want to try it out, (we have free loaner discs). Check out: https://littlescraggydiscgolf.com/. Our Hipcamp guests get a 10% discount on player fees, their children play free. Portable toilets are only a short walk away from sites. We also have several cornhole toss games set up. Friendly, well-mannered dogs are welcome to enjoy YOUR campsite off leash, but please clean up after your dog. We are an ideal basecamp for hiking or biking trail enthusiasts,with direct access to the Little Scraggy Trail and Segment #3 of the Colorado Trail. Little Scraggy Trailhead is 3.5 miles away, with easy access for biking, hiking, or horseback riding on the many other trails of the Buffalo Creek area. You might prefer rock climbing Little Scraggy or fishing the gold-medal waters of the South Platte River canyon below Cheesman Dam and the waters near Deckers. For a day trip, Wellington Lake is only 30 minutes away for no-wake water sports. Many people enjoy kayaking on the North Fork of the South Platte downstream from nearby Buffalo Creek. This is a working ranch where we raise and train Shire draft horses and also ponies. Our particular interest is in carriage driving, and we offer driving experiences upon request.

The campsite is appreciated for its beautiful and secluded setting, making it a favorite for many visitors. However, noise issues persist, with some guests disturbed by rowdy groups and nearby road traffic. While facilities like clean porta potties and accessible trails are praised, the terrain's unevenness and lack of picnic tables are noted drawbacks. Overall, it's a peaceful retreat for those who don't mind a bit of ruggedness and occasional noise.

Great horse camping!

Mountain Horse Camp

Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time at mountain horse campsite. We brought our two horses. The pens were clean and safe. The water was a short walk away. I suspect if it rains the pens would drain nicely. Large trees provided shade. We loved it! The gate to get to little scraggy trail is close by (you need to walk towards end of the road to access). I wish there was a permanent map of trails on land and outside gate when you first drive in or that this could be emailed when site is confirmed. They had a box for maps but they were all out so we had to wander around to find the trail…. it all worked out but just would have been nice. Definitely would come back!

It Started Great…

Crooked Tree Corner

While we started out enjoying the look and feel of the lovely campsite, by the end of the first night a large had come in and started to give us worry. Somehow, they weren’t as rowdy as the people who followed the next night. By the 2nd night there were noisy people at several sites drinking and carrying on loudly with dogs barking until the early morning — so we didn’t really sleep. Some people with kids tried to talk with these people but they just became rowdy again in 30 minutes. Come morning, we awoke to arguments and loud conversations. Perhaps it is the arrangement of all these sites but things easily became too loud too quickly.

I loved tent camping on Terri's land! Amazing views, quiet and secluded even though others were camping nearby.
