4. Rio Blanco Beautiful View!

39mi from Battlement Mesa · 1 site · Lodging

If Rio Blanco near the town of Meeker Coloraodo, is where you are headed out to, there's a Beautiful view from this "Dry cabin" with a cute and rustic feeling screen porch, by an interesting mountain with a rocky wall and hillside right outside the door, and overlooking the White River, and Beautiful green hills and mountains and much of the time- prettier and blue skies. We offer a peaceful, humble and quiet, furnished, yet not insulated just yet, 12X30, new structure that is categorized presently as a dry cabin with two full beds that are both working as hide-a-beds, where there are two screened windows and a fun screen room attached to the small but comfortable little covered porch. While we have plans for more developing in the future, we ourselves are in the process of working into our own plans for the overall site. Right now, a peaceful night's sleep is much of the idea of this stay. While there is some noise from the highway that runs near the property, it gears much towards agricultural travel, such as semi trucks headed to and from from the area. While we always will have handwashing water and a bottle of drinking water, we are in the process of developing, which REQUIRES that anyone who reserves is ALREADY equipped with sufficient drinking, any cooking water- and any necessary washing water for their overnight staying. There is a plug, small coffeemaker, and microwave which are within the structure. Some paper towels or napkins and a tissue box are provided. While much of the time, there are ample hand towels for some convenience and extra older sleeping bags, it is not our responsibility at this time to "provide linens". Trained pet may accompany a guest, and are not the responsibility in ANY WAY of the management. Parents or guardians are completely responsible for any children or guest that accompanies them. At this time, this structure is only for people who can walk up a 100 foot, small hill without any assistance that is not already accompanying them. Owners are not responsible for providing night time bright lights. While there is always a lamp it doesn't always provide enough light for some. There is no cooling system within the structure, and only overnight is cool in the summer-(Checkout is before 10 AM).

Weekend Trip to Double M Ranch

Easy to find and easy to camp, the Double M Ranch is the perfect location for adventures across the Grand Junction area and up to the Mesa. We really enjoyed the solitude (even with active farming operations and the airport nearby). It is exactly what we look for in a HipCamp, with the added bonus of water and power! The long view is what attracted us to the site, and it will be what brings us back next time we come to Grand Junction.

2 nights at Double M Ranch

Lovely spot overlooking the hills & farmland surrounding Grand Junction. Very close to town and perfect for our needs - we were renting an Airstream Bambi to test it out for a possible future purchase. Needed to be in an easy location & flat spot for Bambi host to deliver, and for us to get used to the van. View from site was expansive and we enjoyed watching the planes come and go from the airport. The Highline canal at the end of the road is great for a walk or bike, we enjoyed our 90 minute 'workout'. Kelly & Chris have their site set up very nicely with picnic table, water and electricity, & with the Bambi's awning, we had enough shade, even in the middle of the day. They've also planted trees which will be good for shade & privacy in the future. Highly recommended if you are passing through and looking for somewhere quiet & easy.

Weekend Trip to Double M Ranch

This is the 2nd time at this Hipcamp spot. It is very quiet and no traffic. It is full sun but because of the orientation of the parking spot, I was able to get part shade in the morning and evening. They have recently planted a couple of trees for future shade. It is on the edge of BLM public land and great for dog walking.

It was a lovely location. The kids had lots of room to play soccer and there was plenty of room for the trailer. We had a peaceful night there. I would go again if I was ever in the area.

The property was serene, very private and beautiful views. Pics portray it well. Their house is at end of street and next to High line canal, a good place to bring your pups. Lovely rural neighborhood so close to downtown. They even allowed us to stay a little later so we could get in a ride at the lunch loops prior to checking out.

A quiet little place all to ourselves. It is in the open, so it can get very windy, but the views are fantastic! I recommend this place if you are not into the crowded campsites. Thank you Kelly & Chris!

This is a great, quiet, private spot. It’s about a 30 minute bike ride to downtown, mostly on roads with a bike lane. I would definitely stay here again.
