This is such a great spot, very quiet, easy to find and get in and out of. The host was very responsive and helpful! A great spot if you're going to Wild Basin, Meeker Park, etc.

Tent site under the pergola. Behind the fence lies open space with animals, birds, etc! (wood platform no longer on site).

The Yetman Flower Farm was easy to find, convenient to access Denver and a sweet, quiet place to get a great night's sleep. I met Doug, the owner, the horses and cats. Everyone was welcoming. There are beautiful gardens, one with a glass green house in which a small group was learning watercolor painting together. The whole stay was a very pleasant experience. Thank you Doug and family for sharing your farm.

Wonderful stay, great location! We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful spot hidden within the city. We stayed there to attend a show at Red Rocks. Picked this spot to be close to RR and it worked perfectly. 15 minutes to be in the park. Doug is a fantastic communicator and took great care of us. Plus the property is beautiful.

This was a great spot for us. It’s part of a small lodge property so there are other guests but they had a grill at the site and a very cool small hike up the hill for some views. Burger place across the street was great and laundromat was a convenient surprise. No water or electricity but there is a porto.

Weekend Trip to Urban Flower Farm Oasis

It is very picturesque for being in town. with the flowers and a few horses and chickens wondering around. The only issue is the campsite is not a pull through. I am not very good at backing up with the camper and the way to the camp is a bit long and narrow so if this is an issue for you

Weekend Trip to Urban Flower Farm Oasis

Top-notch flower farm, and also: there was camping. The scenic space, and the hosts Doug and Amy, the horses, goats, chickens, cats and flowers were awesome. Easy drive from Red Rocks, convenient to downtown Denver, great walking/running path right off the property, and we loved swimming at Bear Creek Lake Park just a quick drive away. This is a working and active farm with both farm animals and family pets that meandered into the camp area a few times. Occasionally the working farm activities and/or outside visitors blocked the only drive in/out and our access to the drinking water and the porta-pot, and one dog definitely would have preferred that we not be at her farm and she let us know several times. Not for those who may be claustrophobic, or afraid of dogs. tldr; not a ton of privacy from animals and humans, but really beautiful property in a great location and I would absolutely camp here again for a Red Rocks show.

What a great place to stay! We were in campsite 8, and loved the space especially the shade from the trees, with gentle breezes. Our RV is about 33 feet long and pull our jeep. Plenty of room for both. Kimberly greeted us when we arrived, and gave us a run down on the area. Carter lake was about 10 minutes away. Plenty of fun on the lake!! Would go back!
