Rocky Mountain Glamping

A lovely, unique spot surrounded by nature with splendid accommodations. The outdoor kitchen and glamping tent are beautifully appointed and very clean. Just the place for a beautiful hike, a dip in a stream or relaxing in a hammock.

As good as it gets

As good as it gets, this place is magical from the location to the great design and detail of the tent and kitchen. The camp is located in a breath taking area of the Rockies and the camp area has everything you can think of to create comfort in a natural setting. Thanks to Dot for such a unique and beautiful place.

Dot and Byron get 200 out of 5 stars! There is no possible way to explain how dreamy the sites are, the river and ridge hikes divine, and every extra part they have created are exceptional. Dot and Byron strive to provide for your every need and succeed in all ways! Thank you Dot and Byron for giving us the experience of a lifetime!!!

Can't Wait to Return!

With kids ·

This place was gorgeous. There is so much to explore right on site, both Dot and Byron make sure you understand how to safely stay there while ensuring a great time is had by all. It's fairly close to Lyons and a very pretty drive there if you need any supplies or a night out. We slept so well in our tent both nights with the stream and rain lulling us to sleep. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes and utensils with an easy to use grill and burner system. We also had access to a gas fire pit. The stream was a nice cool dip after a long hike, and the small hike up to Balancing Rock was doable for our 6 and 8 year old with some beautiful views. This is definitely a step up from regular tent camping, but still provides a sense of adventure and resourcefulness found in the outdoors. We hope to return soon!!

Comfortable at the height of summer

30 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

We had a wonderful time here! Dot and Byron could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They’re wonderful people. There was a group of 8 of us so we had the RV site, both wagons, one of the glamping tents, and the add-on teardrop trailer. It was late July, and we were very comfortable sleeping at night with nighttime temperatures dipping down to 60-62°F, and daytime temperatures were also quite comfortable, despite the nearly 100°F temperatures down in Lyons. We slept in our RV, but the others in our party said that the beds were extremely comfortable in the wagons and tent, and that they slept very well. For those of you with solar on your RV, the campsite gets pretty good sun from about 10-6 every day, so we had no trouble keeping our batteries topped off. We never needed to use our air conditioner, thanks to the elevation, so even in the height of summer, comfortable dry camping here for several days is quite doable. This kind of camping is so much better than staying hubcap-to-hubcap in an RV park! We will definitely be back.

Dot and Byron were friendly and easy to communicate with, helpful in giving ideas of where to hike. The campsite was clean, well kept and we enjoyed the pretty stream with blooming flowers was a great way to cool off after our hike.

We had such an amazing stay. The site we stayed at was above and beyond our expectations! Not only did my kids get to explore close to camp but also they had things set up for the kids to do. We really enjoyed being outdoors without the hassle of setting up our own tent and camp site. The outdoor kitchen was my favorite and of course we loved the outdoor shower. We are already palling our next trip we really really enjoyed it.

I feel lucky to have stayed at Dot and Byron’s property. From the second you turn off the highway, you can tell this place is special. They have thought of everything you could possibly need and despite being outdoors, the tent/kitchen/porta potty was cleaner than any hotel I’ve stay at. My husband and I haven’t felt this relaxed in years. We cannot wait to come back next year.

Bliss Canyon Camping

Dot and Byron were incredible hosts! They were welcoming, helpful, and genuinely accommodating throughout our stay. Their recommendations for hiking trails and local attractions were spot-on and made our trip even more memorable. This was the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed to experience nature. The campground is exceptionally well maintained, and the facilities are spotless. It’s also the perfect location for exploring Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding area. What really made our stay special were Dot and Byron themselves. They are kind, down-to-earth people who truly care about their guests and go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. Without a doubt, this was the best Hipcamp experience we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing Tent and an Amazing Time

With pets ·

Honestly, I am so tempted to not write a review cause I want to keep this secret so I can go whenever I want and not have it get popular. However I can’t lie even by omission. This was the best set up I have ever been in. The tent is great. The kitchen set up is fabulous. The area is great. There are lots of lovely seating areas. The patio/eating area is lovely. The shower has amazing water pressure and it was so nice to come “home” and shower after a hike. I cannot over state how relaxing and lovey this stay was. There’s a little road noise from being in a canyon and the port-a-potty is shared with another site but that in no way reduces the enjoyment of the location. Dot is lovely and responsive. I am literally planning on going back again this year.

Accessible spot to nearby towns!

30 ft travel trailer · Group trip ·

We camped here with our 24' hard side trailer for 3 nights. The stream is really sweet and a nice sound at night and in the morning. Our young kids (10 and 5) enjoyed playing in/around the stream, as it was hot enough to enjoy the cool water. The difficult part was backing into the spot, but was not impossible or difficult once you got into the driveway and past the big rock. The site is on a broken asphalt road and part gravel base, and there is a picnic table and port a potty, which was clean. There is a large open garage/structure nearby that is used as a working shop, but the wood work stopped for the time we were there. There is a nice little hike through/up the rocks from the campsite, which was a fun short adventure. You can hear traffic coming from the highway but it is intermittent and not overly distracting. Dot & Byron we're very nice hosts and greeted us upon arrival. The location is not far from Estes, Rocky Mountain National Park, Longs Peak, or Lyons.

A lovely stay in a beautiful location. Dot and Byron clearly care about the experience of their guests. You’ll find lots of little surprises as you stroll throughout the camp sites. The bed was very comfortable and a kitchen and hot showers really topped it off.

Best Tent Stay Ever

What an amazing first experience with Hipcamp. Dot and Byron were awesome hosts and the tent and grounds were absolutely fantastic. I can’t say enough about how great these two are. You can tell how much love they have put into this place.

We had so much fun here! The site is amazingly well-stocked. The only things we needed to bring were food, clothes, roasting sticks, and swimming towels. Comfy bed, super nice camp kitchen, warm water for the outdoor shower, and so much to explore. It’s magical down by the creek. You can go into Rocky Mountain National Park before 9 am without a permit, and there’s an entrance (Wild Basin) just 20 minutes up the road, so we had a breakfast picnic by the lake and did a little hike one day. Dot and Bryon are great. I can’t wait to go back. Perfect for families who don’t want the effort of a full camping trip.

We had a great time at our little camp spot. Byron greeted us who was very welcoming and kind. It was a nice location, not too far from town (Lyons) but also off the beaten path enough to feel secluded. Lovely little river spot that they have landscaped to be a cool little swim spot that our 5 yr old loved.

GLAM-ping

This was a very fun and unique camping site. The full kitchen is very helpful. We loved all the games that were around. The site itself is gorgeous with a stream running through and ponds. Having a propane fire was nice because it was one less thing we had to worry about. The covered wagons having lights was really nice. Me and my husband and my six-year-old son stayed in one wagon. All around it was a very enjoyable stay. This is definitely GLAM-ping!

We enjoyed our stay - comfortable beds, hot shower, nice kitchen area, fire pit. Dot even brought us a heater when the temperature dropped. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a way to keep food cold - there's no refrigerator and we didn't bring a cooler, so we ended up eating out a lot.

Bliss RV camp was such an enjoyable and relaxing experience. The property is great for exploring and the pond so refreshing for a cold plunge. Byron takes such good care of his beautiful piece of paradise. About 20 minutes from Main Street Lyons with breaktaking views along the drive. Can’t wait to return.

We loved camping with Dot and Byron. The instructions and directions were clear, and Dot was there to welcome us as soon as we pulled in! We wish we had planned our stay for more than 2 nights to enjoy the property even more. It’s so comfortable and the property is well thought out. The beds and sheets were so comfy and warm, and the portapotty was insanely clean!! Would highly recommend this stay! Thank you Dot and Byron 🙌🏽

Cozy site nestled in nature

We booked this site for friends while we stayed at the Explorer site. The Frontier is perfect for a couple and can easily accommodate a preschool or elementary-aged child, too, although it’s much cozier with a third person. The gas fire pit and picnic table are nestled against a rock, offering a private feel to the site. The site is well lit at night with split and electric lighting. The kitchen had all the conveniences you would expect from a home, except it’s outside. The shower at this site had a nice changing room, too. Everyone enjoyed themselves on our weekend of glamping and we plan to return.
