Pictures do not do this place justice! The river is directly behind the tent, so it was perfect to fall asleep to the sound of the water! Community kitchen area has everything you need from seasonings, a grill, even a super neat pizza oven! 100000% recommend this gem of a place. There’s even a trail to walk to downtown if you’re feeling up to it!

Hospitality was top notch. If you’re not used to camping in a community space it can feel a bit different. Lots to do there, and Telluride is about an hour and a half away and so are the bridal veil falls. If you plan on going to Mesa Verde make sure to book your in advance because some of the areas are only accessible through tours.

The art shack is a great spot. The view is gorgeous and even though the temperature got up to 87 it was nice a cool as the shack is in a small group of pine and popular trees. Even if it had been too hot Gretchen provided a cooler with a fan. There's a swing out front that was lovely to sway on while I watched the sunset. It was beautiful and peaceful. In distance you can hear some cows mooing and an occasional donkey song. Everything you want in a weekend away.

1 night at Bright Star Campground
We chose this site as a spot in between Great Sand Dunes and our next stop. It was a neat experience, pulling into the campsite with the sun setting -the sky was a vibrantly beautiful backdrop for the tipis. The tipi was spacious enough for our young family of 6, 2 adults in the bed, 2 bigger kids on the foldout futon and two littles on camping mats in the floor. Waking up to a sky lit up inside of a tipi was majestic! The camp kitchen, showers and bathrooms were useful. Kitchen was stocked for use, showers were creative and clean. Bathroom, while still a pit toilet, was painted and clean and well appointed. Put us very close to our next stop, Mesa Verde Natl park. Definitely bring your family here if you’re out this way, really memorable night for us, sleeping in a tipi!

2 nights at The Art Shack A Tiny Glamping Cabin
The Art Shack was delightful. The hosts Gretchen and Andre were wonderful hosts. Just large enough to fit a bed and a few chairs... Internet worked great... They had a 5 gallon jug artfully propped up for easy access to water... The composting toilet was the best, clean, creative and scented of cedar. The view from the cedar throne was of the vast expanse of Colorado ranch land with Mesa Verde looming. One warm night , I truly enjoyed sleeping in my bag on the porch... The Vast Silence, the cool air and the Stars were the Stuff of Dreams. We went swimming in nearby lakes, so a shower was not necessary. It was a pleasure taking the back roads to Durango and Mancos. Beauty everywhere in every direction. I know that The Art Shack is just going to get better with our every stay. :-) Greg and Roberta

Everyone (guests) were friendly and the vibe was laid back. The check in process is easy and you cannot beat the night sky! My kids are already asking to come back again and stay for longer.

My wife and I loved camping at Robins place. Brightstar Campground is an all around peaceful and beautiful place to stay. We stayed in a Tipi for two nights and the Mountain cabin another two nights because we liked the vibe so much. Both lodging options were more than big enough for my wife and I and very comfortable. The early spring nights get cold, but each bed is outfitted with a variety of blankets to stack up. We used our own extras some nights, but didn't need them the whole time. The amenities and accommodations were very accurate to the website and hipcamp description with a few pleasant surprises sprinkled in. Robin was flexible and friendly, but not overbearing as a host. Check in and out was easy and hosts were consistently responsive via text or call. Kent, the new camp host was friendly and helpful through the stay. He has a great eye for unique art and a knack for outdoor hospitality! Anyone who is used to camping and glamping would absolutely thrive here and if you're just looking to dip your toe in but not ready for packing and planning all your own gear and camping trip the tipi or cabin would be a great option!
