Located perfectly between Boulder, Nederland, and Rocky Mountain National Park, and very close to other stunning hikes, this spot is a great landing pad to have easy access to some of the most beautiful places in the Rockies as well as offering it's own breathtaking scenery. This land is the sacred land of the Arapaho tribe. Chief Niwot and his tribe spent winters here. It is a very special place. The property is a mile long so there is plenty of space with the tent sites being 1/2 mile from the yurt and separate entries for each. There are currently 3 tents sites available, a bell tent, and a yurt. Please read the entire description for your specific site before booking.

Great spot and easy to get to! Off the main road but road noise wasn’t too bad at night. Creak runs well and close by. Would totally come again!

They have everything! A peaceful setting in a space shared with two other trailers (vintage, that they rent to glampers) nice outdoor green spaces to enjoy with picnic tables, hammocks and outdoor cooking area. Then they also have indoor space: two flush toilets, shower, dinning table and chairs, microwave and large screen TV. Two nice silly dogs in residence and two very nice, thoughtful, kind and welcoming hosts in Greg and Olivia. We stayed twice this summer and will surely be back when we return to the area. Only negatives: no sewer hookup for our camper (not a huge deal with flush toilet and sinks mere steps away in the flex room described above) Also the space was a challenge for me to pull out of due to tight turns around some fencing. Since I was nervous about taking out these lovely host’s fence with our 21 ft. Travel trailer, Greg very kindly backed out for us to save me the stress. While the location is excellent and the property lovely and well cared for, it is sometimes a little loud as it is across the street from Niwot high school football and sports fields. Some mornings and Friday nights the practices and games were quite easily heard from their tranquil backyard space. But that was a small trade off for a place that was very peaceful most of the rest of the time.

Beautiful site. Right off the road on the other side of a small creek so the water helps buffer some road noise. Spacious and maintained very well. Lots of aspens in the area too.

Beautiful camp site. Shawn was super helpful the entire time! We found a beautiful spot up a hill from the actual camp spot to hold my wedding ceremony! The sky was gorgeous and we have plenty of room to explore and be comfortable. My only complaint is the hill leading to the bridge was pretty steep. I would 100% come back! Thank you so much for the opportunity.

This was a nice little site. It has plenty of shade but a nice clearing to see the night sky. A very sturdy fire pit and flat places for the tents. The host had great communication. Would stay again.

Great campsite! My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. The creek was beautiful and we loved how spaced out all of the sites were. There was plenty of space for my 2 year old son to run around and explore. Definitely recommend!

This place is beautiful and such a lovely get away spot. The creek is such a lovely sound to fall asleep too and the spot is secluded while still being close to the road for easy access to your car.

Olivia and Greg were amazing hosts. Very responsive and helpful while checking in. They have a quiet oasis just outside of Boulder. Clean bathroom adjacent to a flex space with sink and fresh water. I was able to use power to recharge the van’s power system. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Happy adventuring!!!

Great spot among the Aspens! Easy to find, level spot, neighbours but not too close. Great fun collecting firewood for the fire pit, and wonderful wild flowers.

Perfect for our family of four, camping for the first time after a few years. The road was closer than I expected - you could hear the cars, but bc of how the spot is situated, you couldn’t see them, which was nice. And the sound of the cars were mostly drowned out by the lovely sounds of the creek flowing. I’d def recommend for a little close-by camping stay-cation!

What a nice stay! Greg and Olivia have created a little suburban oasis for a few lucky campers or glampers at a time.
They have everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

This camping experience was very pleasant and almost like staying in a hotel! Olivia and Greg will go out of their way to accommodate you. Their backyard space has a very nice privacy divide with large plants and trees. Amazing amenities included an ice machine, clean bathroom and shower, and a kitchenette space to eat at a full sized table. I opted to stay in a tent during my stay, but the campers are in such great shape that I am very interested in visiting again to stay in one. The neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet during the evening, some of the best camping sleep I’ve ever had. This property and your stay will bring you a sense of peace every time that you arrive at it.

Had a great time staying at this campsite with my older dog. It’s close to the road so you don’t have to carry your things too far, you will hear some cars go by but it's not a busy road. Hosts were very friendly and helpful, answered all my questions before this day and stopping by the campsite. Nice set up for a campfire.

This camp site was awesome!! Very spacious (fit two tents and a canopy) and never heard our two neighbors! It felt very secluded. The creek was beautiful and helped to lull us to sleep. We had a blast hiking at nearby Brainard Lake. And Shawn was very responsive to my questions! We had a wonderful time!!
