Returned for another enjoyable stay at the Hill Fort! This time I had a very pleasant visit with Mary Anne and Alex who treated me to an excellent Cubano coffee and truly delicious homemade lemon poppy seed muffins! Great hosts in a beautiful location

We loved our stay at the Hill Fort! We had a secluded site nestled in the piñon juniper forest where we camped with deer, wild turkeys, foxes, and great horned owls among gorgeous sunsets and moon rises. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating. One of our favorite Hipcamp sites so far. Best for self-contained campers, and a great site, especially for spring and fall.

My second camping trip to Mary Anne’s land. This time I camped at the far camp spot at the end of the property. No electric but didn’t need it. So quiet and peaceful and a night sky filled with stars. My dogs and hiked at the Newlin Creek trail which is in San Isabel NF just a few miles down the road from the property. Can’t wait to book my third trip!

This is one of our favorite Hipcamp sites. The space itself was the perfect amount of private-yet we could walk down and grab coffee with the hosts as well. They were super helpful and lovely people. Beautiful property, lovely views, and plenty of space for our pups to explore. We will be back!

I choose Hipcamp over State Parks because I like to have a remote and quiet place to camp. Beautiful views, access to great hiking trails, quiet, and a dark sky full of stars are also on my hope to have list. The Hillfort provided all of it! I had a shaded secluded camping spot with electrical hookup and surrounded by the beautiful Wet Mountains. My two dogs were very welcome and loved exploring the property every morning. Just two miles away is access to the Newlin Creek trailhead and the San Isabel National Forest as well as other hiking trails near by. Mary Anne and Alex were great hosts and loved sharing the history of their beautiful property (plus Mary Anne’s muffins are amazing). I will definitely be booking more trips to the Hillfort!

Let me start by saying that this was our first HipCamp and we think we may have hit the pinnacle on our first try as this place is so beautiful! The road that you need to travel in on is a little rough, even though it was paved most of the way, however, MaryAnne suggested for us to go slow and that turned out to be great advice. In the end, we had no issues getting our 28' 5th wheel trailer to their property. MaryAnne & Alex greated us upon arrival and drove us out to select our site. There are 5 sites total all spaced nicely. The site we chose was site #2 which is a little bigger and was the best for accommodating our camper. They had just mowed all the sites and paths on the property and the views of the San Isabel mountains are amazing from any site you decide to stay at. Alex & MaryAnne were also fun to converse with and were very helpful in recommending things to see in the area. There is actually a beautiful little trail just down the road from the property called the Newlin Creek trail at the Florence Mountain Park that runs up the mountain along the creek. Another incredible must see in the area is Bishop Castle which is a 160' tall castle that was built by one man (Jim Bishop) over a period of 60 years. The nearby small town of Florence has quite a few restaurants and other conveniences. And of course another big attraction in the area is The Royal Gorge Bridge & park that is just north of Canon City. Enjoy!

This place was a wonderful place to stay and get away from hustle and bustle. Beautiful views of Pikes Peak, smell of cedar trees, turkey and deer walked close to us and beautiful night skies. Alex and Mary Anne were wonderful hosts.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to crash for the night after a long race in Pueblo and Mary Anne’s place was just the right spot. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the warm welcome from Mary Anne and her husband. My only regret is not being able to stay longer and grab some of the muffins Marry Anne had offered us.

If you are an off-the-beaten path kind of camper, this is the place for you! Tucked back in away from the world, this is a peaceful spot with amazing views and a great place to spend a few days. We came with our small travel trailer, parked at the only electric site, and had a beautiful long weekend. Very quiet and relaxing. Mary Anne and Alex are the super nice folks and also wonderful Hipcamp hosts! The homemade lemon poppyseed muffins were a delicious morning treat made with love and care by Mary Anne!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at The Hillfort! The land is just gorgeous and offers some pretty incredible views, day and night! Mary Anne was just a wonderful hostess and her muffins were to die for! My car battery ended up dying while we stayed there and Alex was so amazingly nice about giving my car a jump…twice! I honestly cannot wait to go back!

The Hillfort
Such wonderful hosts and an amazing property. We were there for the weekend after Labor Day so we had the whole place to ourselves, but the sites seemed far enough apart to still have privacy if others were there as well. Easy access, clean and cleared just enough to be able to set up camp either in an open space or amongst the trees, with lovely 360º views. And the muffins were an amazingly delicious added surprise - Mary Ann doesn't mess around! It is a perfect oasis with the added bonus of not having to fight mountain traffic on I-70, we will definitely be back again!

Cannot say enough good things about this little slice of heaven! It was the most stunning setting for me to car camp, and as a solo female traveler, the hosts made me feel at home. They have multiple sites that offer varying levels of seclusion on their property. Sunrises + night skies were unbelievable. Muffins & coffee in the morning were to die for! Mary Anne & Alex are some of the most genuine folks you'll ever meet - their conversations made my trip. One of the best experiences I've had in Colorado so far!

Camping here was a treat. We loved the secluded land, the gorgeous views, and the stories told by one of the owners Alex. Count yourself lucky if you are offered any of Mary’s baked goods, and enjoy this little piece of paradise.

The Hillfort
The property is in a beautiful setting but we ended up turning our rig around before the gate as we doubted our 32ft overland truck would make it around to the site, especially in light of the recent heavy rain making the risk higher. The description of the property needs some adjusting to accommodate large rigs. Mary Anne was very understanding.

The Hillfort
We had an amazing family camping experience at Hillfort! The drive back to the property was beautiful. We saw deer, antelope and turkey. Alex and Mary Anne greeted us and showed us around the property. We camped at one of their primitive spots which was very private and secluded, but easy to access with our 25 ft travel trailer. We were able run our generator without disturbing anyone. The property backs up to a National forest so there are lots of places to hike and explore without running into any other people. A true Colorado beauty with the nicest hosts!! We hope to return one day to try Mary Anne’s muffins!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
