The little bear or Blue bear is a very nice cozy place to stay. It has all essential things to make your stay comfortable and a remembering one. It is very peaceful and easy to reach. Plus cesar is very nice person and always responsive to your needs. Already planning for the next one at Blue/little bear.

This property was AMAZING! I stayed 2 nights by myself and I’m so grateful I found this site. The little bear cabin was perfect. Signage was clear leading up to the site. The road is dirt leading up to it and then gravel. The view from the cabin is great. Through the trees you can see the mountains, walk up the hill a tiny bit and amazing clear views. The grill worked well and there was firewood at the wood stove. The inside was clean and it was great to have the fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee maker. The cabinets had paper plates, plastic cups and some plastic utensils. The cabin keeps out the cold fairly well but it was a bonus to have the heater. The bed was comfortable and there was a cot below you could put together if you had another person that needed a spot. The porta potty was clean as was the site in general. You can see the other cabin from this one but it’s not too close. I highly suggest booking this cabin!

We had such a great stay at the Blue Moon Cabin! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The view was gorgeous and the cabin was very private. We really enjoyed the outdoor lounge area with the fire table. The outdoor shower was really a fun experience too! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time staying at the Crow cabin. It was so nice and warm and the hospitality was great. We appreciated being able to add on a shower and charcoal for the grill and only wished we could’ve stayed longer.

We (2 adults and my dog) stayed in South Crow cabin. This is one of the best places I've ever stayed at. It had everything we needed, was dog friendly, quiet and private unlike a hotel. The only negative was that we didn't have time to stay longer. I highly recommend staying here if you have the opportunity.

We loved staying in South Crow Cabin! It is such a thoughtful design with stunning views. It’s easy to spend hours on the deck admiring the landscape. (We saw several elk and deer come through while we relaxed). The hosts went out of their way to greet us and show us how everything worked. We would gladly stay here again.

This place is simply the best. The view and property are unique, beautiful and so fun to explore. The cabin, bathroom and shower are thoughtfully created to allow comfort while also still enjoying the fun parts of camping. The cabin stayed very warm and cozy. They put so much work into the details to make sure you have all you need. There were even long leashes for dogs attached to the deck. The shower is a tankless water heater and gets very warm. We were able to shower comfortably in September outside and they made sure we always had water. Chas and his wife nicely waited up for us as we got in later than expected and took the time to make sure we were settled in. We really didn’t want to leave. There is good reception for your phones. It is close to the highway.

Cabin was cozy and well designed. Highway can be seen and heard from behind the cabin, but the accessible acres of beautiful state land to roam nearby more than makes up for that. Chas was a friendly and informative host and we’d happily stay again. There was plenty of room for me, my partner and our large dog comfortably in the cabin. Waking up to the sunrise over the rocks was so peaceful.

Great little cabin! We stayed there with 2 large dogs and had to do a bit of wrangling space wise but it was beautiful, quaint and has great views. Bring sturdy shoes, there's some sharp shale around the camp table and grill. They even have a long dog lead installed on the deck which we used a lot. The fire ring on the back deck made the evenings fun. A really great experience and the camp hosts couldn't be nicer or more helpful. I had a couple of issues that I was completely wrong about, and they tolerated me with kindness ;)

Great spot! Cesar let us stay and check out the foothills for some moonlight photography. We had the sound of horses nearby, some birds, and a very glamorous tiny cabin to stay warm in while we waited for the clouds to clear. Enough distance from the nearby properties and the other cabin to feel on our own, and a good little hike nearby through a small aspen grove.

We had an amazing getaway to the Blue Moon Cabin - the owners were so friendly and helpful, and they truly thought of it all as far as amenities go in the cabin! The site itself was so beautiful and there was so much to explore. I would love to come back one day!

The cooking setup (remember to bring your own spatula and cooking spray).

The Chas’ Blue Moon off grid cabin was awesome! We had never stayed in an off grid cabin before, and it was our first time using “Hipcamp” to book a stay. Both were good experiences and went really smooth. The cabin is in a really convenient location off the interstate, and has very scenic views, with quick access to the state park for more hiking and sight seeing. The cabin was really comfortable and had more than we needed to relax. Chad also met us at the cabin and showed us how everything worked and brought me some things that I forgot to pack to help me cook dinner.
