Weekend Trip to Rooted Recovery

I had such a great experience booking with Carrie at Rooted Recovery. I originally had an issue with a cancellation and she immediately stepped in to help me resolve it. She fully refunded my first booking and made it super easy for me to rebook the night at her Sheep Mountain Site. Carrie was responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure everything worked out smoothly. The process could’ve been stressful, but she made it simple and seamless. I’m very appreciative of her communication and support. Highly recommend — the customer service alone is top-tier, and it made me even more excited for my stay on her land.

Such a quiet peaceful spot. Lovely grassy areas, trees and landscaping. Or fur babies absolutely loved the grassy dog run with the stream.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Vintage Campers

We had a great stay and would definitely recommend! Lovely location that felt more nestled in nature but easy drive to Gunnison. The camper setup was cute and nice enough for the price, the outhouse was clean and they provided all the essentials. Bring bug spray as it’s right on a river so the mosquitos did get pretty intense in the evening.
