Looking for an epic camping spot with easy access to both the outdoors and some local adventure? This tent site in the Animas Valley, right on the banks of the Animas River, is perfect for you. Imagine waking up to the sight of elk or mule deer casually grazing nearby while red-tailed hawks cruise the skies. It’s super chill and ideal for anyone who loves wildlife.
But that’s just the start—you're also a quick drive from Durango’s cool local scene and all the hiking, biking, and exploring the San Juan Mountains have to offer. Spend your days hitting the trails, rafting the river, or checking out Durango’s breweries and cafes, then come back to relax by your campfire under the stars. It’s the perfect mix of wild and town vibes!

Loved seeing all the animals on the farm! As you might expect, there’s no/little cell phone service here, so just good to know. This was an easy place to stay one night and then get quickly to Mesa Verde!

Our family loved camping on Kammie's land. We had a truck camper and 2 tents. There was plenty of room for each. The signage and lights were very helpful. The porta potty was exactly as described, very clean and pleasant. It is situated just a few miles north of town; the market just a mile away has coffee and morning pastries. It was a very pleasant stay in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It is on the Durango Silverton Railway, but that just added to the charm!

Kammie’s Hipcamp was not only met our expectations but exceeded them! Electricity was also provided (an absolute necessity in the IPhone age!). Kammie welcomed us upon arrival and directed us right to the site. As a bonus we enjoyed several starry nights in the valley.

I loved my stay at Marianne ranch. The spot is level and the ground was firm. The view towards the sunrise is incredible and it was really nice to have the animals around. Marianne is a gracious host, she came out to meet me and we had a lovely chat.

We spent one night at Kammie’s and it was lovely. We had water, electricity and a portable toilet. The site is pretty and very quiet. The hosts are very friendly but not invasive. Great place for tenting.
