Jamie is very gracious, knowledgeable and kind. This location is right next to the Paint Mines and a great place to say after your hike. The location is very quiet and great for star and moon gazing.
This site also sits adjacent to a wind(mill) farm which is a great unique landscape. Very nice, safe place to stay!

Secluded! Cool view on the distant horizon that was about a five minute walk away, and at night looking East over the blinking lights of hundreds (thousands?) of windmills. Not many places you will see this! Dark sky was also good as the Milky Way was directly overhead. Antelope also were around.

It was absolutely beautiful and extremely peaceful! Jamie went above and beyond in communication And making sure she was available to show us to the site!
Jamie and her young son showed us the way, he did bike wheelies and double checked to make sure we we’re good while they showed us to our campsite. Couldnt ask for a better or sweeter welcome :)
We slept wonderfully and it was extremely peaceful! 15/10!!!

Jamie’s property is off the beaten path just enough that it’s convenient and easy to find, and provides a safe, quiet spot to relax and sleep. And being close to Paint Mines is a great bonus! I would recommend Jamie’s property to anyone passing through the area.

We enjoyed our stay. It’s a very family friendly campground, with the pool, arcade, and fishing pond. It’s also close to groceries, and things to do. Staff was nice, it was easy to get to and they sell some helpful items in their store.

This is a great location and Jamie is very helpful and accommodating. Site is very peaceful and beautiful view of the front range and eastern Colorado rolling plains. Paint Mines are just down the road and highly recommend walking around and checking them out. Highly recommended Hipcamp site!

We had a nice time camping for two nights on Jamie's property. The campsite is well maintained with a unique view of the wind turbines. We liked hearing the roosters throughout our trip, and we had a visit during the day from their sweet doggos. We brought our own firewood and had a campfire and some incredible star gazing.
We explored the paint mines, which were just a 5 minute drive away.
Jamie and her family are super nice and communicative if needed.
An A+ experience, thanks again, Jamie!

We had an amazing time on Holly & Mike’s land. They have the rv site set up perfectly so the side with the door opens up straight into beautiful forest and trees. The other side is their work area etc. but we only saw that when we were entering or existing. And to have full hookups was definitely a huge added plus. No neighbors were around us at all …..It was just us. We will definitely be going back here for future camping trips
Our thanks to Mike and Holly

Jamie was a very friendly and helpful host. The location was perfect for visiting the paint mine near Calhan, and there also happened to be a county fair at the time of my visit which was a lot of fun. I would recommend this location for anyone who’s interested in exploring the area.

Very private-feeling spot. There are natural barriers around the area so we felt comfortable letting our dog explore. The only downside is very very little shade, so bring your own. Jamie is extremely friendly and kind. We’ll likely be back!

The hosts were super. The site was great. Very clean, good balance of sun and shade.
We actually had a medical situation and had to leave unexpectedly and the host was very helpful and understanding.
We'd love to get back there sometime in the future.
