The first time I saw this beautiful heavily wooded 12-acre property, I immediately put in an offer. That was 18 years ago. I spent the next 11 years chasing corporate goals which I finally realized were inconsistent with my soul. I started a family and decided to sell this property. I brought my then 2 year old daughter here so she could see it once before I sold it. As we drove up highway 285 through vistas each more stunning than the last, I was moved to tears by the beauty. By the time we reached the property, I knew that we would be moving back here. Nearly 3 years later, we finally moved back with 3 dogs and 2 cats in tow. We love it here and truly belong in this place we call home. Part of the former Ute tribe summer hunting area, and backing to the Pike National Forest and Lost Creek Wilderness; this fascinating area is both beautiful and full of things to do. Fresh clean mountain air. No people. Get away to the quiet beauty of your private wooded cabin. Enjoy a campfire, amazing mountain views, and killer hiking right out your cabin door. Spend an amazing night with millions of stars overhead. Recharge your soul in silent mountain peace. A rare opportunity to stay tucked in private woods and steps from 1000s of acres of national forest. Featuring dual heaters, sleeping loft, outdoor cooking area, solar, and indoor camp toilet facilities, this is luxury glampingSpend an unforgettable night watching millions of stars in the crisp clean mountain air.  Feel yourself relax and recharge as you enjoy the woods and the stunning mountain views. The cabin is furnished with many of the pieces from the Lost Creek Cabin Studio and features solar electricity and indoor camp toilet facilities.

The Yetman Flower Farm was easy to find, convenient to access Denver and a sweet, quiet place to get a great night's sleep. I met Doug, the owner, the horses and cats. Everyone was welcoming. There are beautiful gardens, one with a glass green house in which a small group was learning watercolor painting together. The whole stay was a very pleasant experience. Thank you Doug and family for sharing your farm.

Wonderful stay, great location! We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful spot hidden within the city. We stayed there to attend a show at Red Rocks. Picked this spot to be close to RR and it worked perfectly. 15 minutes to be in the park. Doug is a fantastic communicator and took great care of us. Plus the property is beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Marian’s Fishing Hut
I absolutely loved Marion's fishing hut. It was perfect and I loved all the touches. The TV, the small refrigerator and microwave, little coffee maker, and all the utensils, plates, cups and portable electric hot plates to cook. There is a wash basin to wash and to wash dishes. Water was provided, which was awesome. They also provided movies to watch on the TV and the the trundle bed was perfect and comfortable, as well as, the pillow, and the blanket was so warm. It looked like a little cottage with the framed windows, which opened from the inside with little blinds, and when you would open the little windows, there was a nice breeze. I didn't mind the roosters across the way they were funny, and I took pictures of the beautiful horses also across the way. It was quiet. The little fishing hut is surrounded by pine trees and Aspen trees. The little outhouse was so cute and clean, also with nice touches. And the lid to the toilet was painted with Aspen trees!! Whoever painted it is a great artist. I highly recommend this little hut for me and my 2 dogs, it was perfect. There's also a picnic table and chairs outside and a water spigot. I will definitely be back to this little piece of mountain paradise. 👏🏞⛰️

Definitely a nice place to stay at. Clean and simple. Has a TV, DVD player with a good selection of movies, mini fridge, microwave, as well as a mini heater. Has a lot of areas within a short drive to see beautiful sunsets. Has very spotty signal, but thats what makes places like these nice, you have to disconnect and enjoy nature. Definitely recommend staying here. Do note, it does get cold during the nights so prepare accordingly, the blanket and heater was good enough for me.

It is very picturesque for being in town. with the flowers and a few horses and chickens wondering around. The only issue is the campsite is not a pull through. I am not very good at backing up with the camper and the way to the camp is a bit long and narrow so if this is an issue for you

Top-notch flower farm, and also: there was camping. The scenic space, and the hosts Doug and Amy, the horses, goats, chickens, cats and flowers were awesome. Easy drive from Red Rocks, convenient to downtown Denver, great walking/running path right off the property, and we loved swimming at Bear Creek Lake Park just a quick drive away. This is a working and active farm with both farm animals and family pets that meandered into the camp area a few times. Occasionally the working farm activities and/or outside visitors blocked the only drive in/out and our access to the drinking water and the porta-pot, and one dog definitely would have preferred that we not be at her farm and she let us know several times. Not for those who may be claustrophobic, or afraid of dogs. tldr; not a ton of privacy from animals and humans, but really beautiful property in a great location and I would absolutely camp here again for a Red Rocks show.

Camp for a Cause. Glamp to Give Back. Every stay supports rescued horses and the healing they offer. Unplug under the stars. Reconnect with purpose. Rest in gratitude. Whether you’re bringing your RV, pitching your own tent, or staying in one of our cozy glamping tents, your stay helps make a difference. Raison d’être Ranch—French for “reason to be”—is more than just a name. It’s our mission, our heartbeat, and our why. Here on 120 peaceful acres, we’ve created a sanctuary for over 95 rescued horses, along with santuaried cows, goats, and a myriad of wildlife who call this sacred land home. From deer, pronghorn, and porcupine to coyotes, bald eagles, waterfowl, hawks, meadowlarks, mourning doves, and more—we honor all life here. Every night you spend here supports the lifelong care of our animals and the equine-partnered wellness programs that help people heal through their connection with these sentient beings. Dry camping. Tent camping. Glamping. Choose your style—and know that wherever you sleep, you’re standing for something bigger. While planning your stay, don’t forget to check out our special add-ons and romance packages! Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a proposal, or simply want to create a ‘just because’ moment, we offer picnic setups, romantic touches, and more to make your time here magical. Want to go even deeper? Book one of our unique experiences—like meeting the herd, hearing their rescue stories, walking or grooming a horse, or participating in a private equine-partnered wellness session. We encourage you to book in advance to ensure availability. This isn’t just a stay—it’s a sanctuary experience. Camp with purpose. Glamp with gratitude. And give back to what matters. Please note: Check-In Policy Our standard check-in window is between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Arrivals between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM may be accommodated with prior notice and are subject to a $10 late check-in fee.

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). 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.

Mountain Exhale Stop

48mi from Air Force Academy · 1 site · RV · Evergreen, CO
Welcome to Mountain Exhale Stop — a quiet reset in the Colorado foothills. Tucked among tall pines under open sky, this private RV pad is a peaceful pause on your journey — a place to breathe, rest, and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re passing through or exploring the foothills, this spot offers calm, space, and fresh mountain air. The concrete pad fits RVs, vans, and trailers up to 25 feet max. The pad slopes downward, so leveling blocks are required. Due to the layout and approach, travel trailers must back in — there is no turnaround space. There are a few gentle turns on arrival; drive slowly and you’ll settle in easily. This is a self-contained, pack-in/pack-out site designed for guests comfortable with a simple, nature-based stay. There is no bathroom, water fill, or dumping station on site. Power hookup may be available — please confirm before arrival. Generators are not allowed. Days here are slow, quiet, and grounding. Nights are still, dark, and star-filled. You might see elk, deer, or fox wander through (maybe a lucky bear!) — part of the beauty of staying close to the wild. For safety, the driveway entrance is monitored with cameras, but there are no cameras at the pad — your privacy is respected. Pets are welcome and must be leashed outdoors. Please clean up after them so this space stays beautiful for others. Quiet hours are 9 PM to 7 AM — this is a place to unwind, not a party site. Expect cool pine-scented mornings, peaceful sunsets, and the kind of quiet that helps you sleep deeply. This stop is ideal for travelers who appreciate simplicity, nature, open sky, and respectful stillness. If you’re craving mountain air, gentle solitude, and a safe place to land — Mountain Exhale Stop is here for your pause, your breath, and your reset.

The first time I saw this beautiful heavily wooded 12-acre property, I immediately put in an offer. That was 18 years ago. I spent the next 11 years chasing corporate goals which I finally realized were inconsistent with my soul. I started a family and decided to sell this property. I brought my then 2 year old daughter here so she could see it once before I sold it. As we drove up highway 285 through vistas each more stunning than the last, I was moved to tears by the beauty. By the time we reached the property, I knew that we would be moving back here. Nearly 3 years later, we finally moved back with 3 dogs and 2 cats in tow. We love it here and truly belong in this place we call home. Part of the former Ute tribe summer hunting area, and backing to the Pike National Forest and Lost Creek Wilderness; this fascinating area is both beautiful and full of things to do. Fresh clean mountain air. No people. Get away to the quiet beauty of your private wooded cabin. Enjoy a campfire, amazing mountain views, and killer hiking right out your cabin door. Spend an amazing night with millions of stars overhead. Recharge your soul in silent mountain peace. A rare opportunity to stay tucked in private woods and steps from 1000s of acres of national forest. Featuring dual heaters, sleeping loft, outdoor cooking area, solar, and indoor camp toilet facilities, this is luxury glampingSpend an unforgettable night watching millions of stars in the crisp clean mountain air.  Feel yourself relax and recharge as you enjoy the woods and the stunning mountain views. The cabin is furnished with many of the pieces from the Lost Creek Cabin Studio and features solar electricity and indoor camp toilet facilities. Fresh water is provided. The artist's retreat is a luxury glamping cabin.As long as there is no fire ban, you are welcome to enjoy a campfire in the outdoor fireplace.  We require guests to diligently tend their fire and completely extinguish the campfire when guests are not near.  There is firewood to gather on the property and we have firewood for purchase as well.  We do not allow guests to bring in firewood as the area has begun to see invasive species of insects and we do not want to contribute to this potentially devastating situation.
