We own almost an acre of land next to the North Fork of the Big Thompson River in Glen Haven, CO (one of the cutest small towns ever!). Camp right next to the river and feel the peace of the water flowing and the bright stars in the sky. We are located 7 miles from Estes Park and a short 15 minute drive to the east entrances of Rocky Mountain National Park. Crosier Mountain trailhead is right across the street from our land. Walk down and grab the best cinnamon rolls at the Glen Haven General Store. Bring your own tents and sleeping bags for one of the best camping spots in town!

A tucked away little corner of our one acre lot. We’re just a couple hundred yards away from the entry to Lory state Park. Lory is known for its hiking, biking, bird watching, fishing, and easy access to Horsetooth Reservoir. With beautiful sunrises, daily visits from deer and wild turkey. And yes, we have an electric hook up. This site is perfect for a camper van, small trailer, rooftop tent, or a ground tent. If you need anything else, just ask us.

At Rockridge Ranch you will enjoy grand views of Colorado's majestic Pike's Peak rising above miles of prairie. The front range is equally beautiful and provides endless hours of ever changing sites from sunrise to sunset.
Campsites are located amongst rock formations surrounded by Ponderosa pines and native vegetation. Visitors could possibly include deer, antelope elk or coyote, as well as owls, hawks, falcons or an occasional eagle.
Be sure to pack everything you will need as we are twenty minutes or more from shopping or gas stations. That being said, we are still near enough to Castle Rock, Parker or Colorado Springs so that you can enjoy what 'city' has to offer although we are placing bets that our views will be enough!

The wildlife is spectacular Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Great horned owls might keep you up hooting into the night...It is quite the bird sanctuary ,with almost every feather you could imagine.The pelicans rule the sky with theyre 8 foot wingspan,its not unusual to see a murmering of starlings whirring over the alfalfa fields in the evening... Minks, River otters,Raccoons, deer and the occasional Elk..2 bobcat sightings and one mountain lion but they are rare.Surrounded by water which is a rarity in itself we are nustled into real wildlife with town just minutes away.

The location of her land is off the beaten path, surrounded by mountain ranges and vast prairies. One gets the best of both landscapes, spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
The camp sites are on an elevated rock ledge.
There is well water on site - water is very good quality.

We took advantage of late season warm weather and spent 2 nights at Rockridge. It did turn windy and cool but we enjoyed the solitude. Gorgeous view of Pikes Peak. I was able to walk my dog all over Carol’s horse pasture.
Note that the 3 campsites are fairly close together. Google maps took us right to Carols land - campsites are marked by short pink flags on the left side of her driveway once you have entered the property.

Beautiful views and very peaceful. We had a great time at Carol’s property. It was perfect for a short getaway from home. Very close to many attractions yet far enough away to feel secluded. We loved seeing the cows and the gorgeous view of Pikes Peak. Thank you Carol for sharing your property with us!

Although we showed up in the middle of the night and left in the morning, we stayed long enough to get a good impression. The estate is well taken care of and you may be greeted by a neighbor's horse! The ground was relatively flat, so much so we were accidentally level when we first stopped. We had a roof top tent and had no issues... Matt even waved at us for a conversation in the morning. Checking in on our stay, very courteous! We enjoyed having such a safe place to sleep.

Right by a river, and a road but it was not noisy for us in a camper van. Porta potty on site. General store down the road but does not open until 9am in September so we didn’t get to go. Scenic drive leading up to the site. We had no cell service so prepare ahead of time!

I loved camping on this site with some friends! We had 10 total people and it was the perfect size for our group. Easy to find and only 15 minutes from Lake Estes. The picnic table, trash receptacle, and port a potty made our load light for our one night of camping. Heidi was responsive and detailed, and has a great spot with the river. As far as noise, we only heard a few cars pass by when in our tents that weren’t a real bother, but the sound of the water was peaceful to fall asleep to. Listen to the cinnamon bun advice! We wanted more than 6 buns so we had to order the day before (definitely do!). We enjoyed being right by town to walk to grab any last minute needs. Next time I would love to dine at the bed & breakfast in town for dinner. Overall, Heidi was a superhost for us!

Great clean site right by the river. Do note, though, that it is only about 45 feet off of the main road, but it is still private due to foliage and descent.

The overall vibe, bubbling creek and proximity to both Rocky Mtn NP and Estes Park were fantastic. We loved our stay and recommend without hesitation for those with campers, as we had. We had no trouble with noise or traffic over a Fri-Mon stay during the very busy July/Aug season. Loved being able to walk to the General Store and the cinnamon rolls are worth the hype.
