I widened the gate and moved my mailbox for easier access. Butane fire rings allowed on private property during a fire ban .
Camp anywhere on 60 acres. In one direction there are rolling meadow. Another rocky outcropping. Look to the south and you’ll see the BLM land that shares my fence line. If you want access to town you’re there. You choose how you want to feel. In the woods, in the forest, on huge rocks, flat land or turn around and see CR 1 ( 1/4 mile driveway). Forty five minutes west of Colorado Springs, ten miles to Divide for grocers. One half mile to ice, gas, pizza etc. It is first come first serve with the sites. Two that are near trees for large RVs. One up higher works for pull thru trailers. Plenty of room in the pasture. I just got my first negative review referring to it being dry prairie land. Some pictures are from late last summer.. We haven’t had enough rain yet for it to green up. Also it can be windy.

We really enjoyed this campsite as it sits at the top of a bluff with amazing views and star gazing, it is a very quiet campground and the RV park close by was also very quiet. It has a nice clean bath house within a short walk. The campsite doesn't always have fire pits out, so you will want to check with the host if campfires are a possibility before you go. Host was responsive and helpful, and they provide a phone number for questions when you arrive at the site.

Such a beautiful place, especially during sunrise and sunset! The sky and the mountains were stunning. The location to explore the reservoirs and pike national forest is perfect. It is as listed - sage brush field with a fire pit dug in the ground. Bring everything else!
Recommendations:
I highly recommend bringing some sort of shade structure because the area is very exposed and we wish we listened to their advice to do so! This area can get windy at golden hour but didn't blow anything away as long as it was staked in the ground. There are tiny little cactus so if you plan to sleep in a tent (highly recommend - the stars were beautiful!), bring a tarp to put under your tent foot print - that worked great for us. It was windy one night, so we slept in the car so having both options is ideal. It's a perfect spot for quiet mornings, adventuring out all day, and coming back in the evening for a lovely sunset and fire.
Location:
The location is a little tough to find, it is little beyond where the address drops you if you're coming from Hartsel. There are two small black solar lamps about a foot tall - that will be where you drive your car through into the field and then you'll eventually see the fire pit. There was a tall shovel in the ground next to the fire pit when we got there which helped indicate where to go.
Alexander was kind and communicative via text & hipcamp! Thank you for hosting us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Navi's Sage Run! It was very serene and gave us a much needed break from the real world! Alexander was an amazing host and made himself available if we needed anything. He also gave us some food recommendations. Our dogs also enjoyed the off leash action. We highly recommend this hipcamp location and we'll be back again!
