1 night at Rollin Boles RV Ranch

Perfectly suited for what we needed. Site was clean. Mountains to the east and west. Good communication and directions from the host. We had no trouble following the directions to the site. For reference, Google Maps includes the unmarked unnamed dirt road where the site is located. Apple Maps does not besides a little spur.

Weekend Trip to Meadow Hot Springs Glamping Cabin

We had an amazing stay at Meadow Hot Springs Cabin. The surrounding land and area made it feel secluded while being close to some great hiking trails and any amenities in Alma. Perfect getaway for a long weekend!

Weekend Trip to Meadow Hot Springs Glamping Cabin

Williams Hipcamp was a phenomenal and peaceful stay. William was very communicative leading up to the stay including all necessary details in order to get to the property. I would definitely recommend this Hipcamp!

Weekend Trip to A Special Place in South Park

Eric's land is beautiful, private, and the perfect camping getaway. We loved the stunning mountain views and the peace and quiet. Eric was so easy to communicate with, and his directions were spot on. We loved our time there and hope to return!

Weekend Trip to Rollin Boles RV Ranch

Great spot with 360 degree views of the mountains. The space is quiet with no hwy noise heard. Loved the innovative firepit that made it easy to light fires. It is tough to find so be sure to watch your messages for the GPS coordinates for the turnoffs.

Weekend Trip to A Special Place in South Park

Hidden gem - I almost don't want to recommend it so it doesn't get booked up by others 😁 Perfect spot for our sprinter and we loved the big fire pit and wood available. Very quiet and well maintained camping area. Our dogs loved exploring the area as well. We only stayed one night but we will definitely return to soak up the unbelievable views.

Weekend Trip to A Special Place in South Park

We enjoyed our stay with Eric - he’s a great host! The spot has amazing panoramic views and is very quiet.

This hipcamp was definitely a winner! A journey to get to (altitude sickness killed me, ha!) but was well worth it. William's cabin is well stocked, and he's extremely helpful. Would book again!

1 night at Rollin Boles RV Ranch

Awesome place! Highly recommended! East spot to get to!

Weekend Trip to Meadow Hot Springs Glamping Cabin

My fiance and I spent Valentine's weekend at the cabin during winter. We enjoyed our trip! Such a well-built cabin with very thought out amenities. We would love to come back again. The Host is great at communicating and will answer any of your questions. The 3 mile snowshoe trek in was fun! Wish we brought skiis to ski nearby. FYI You will be stepping outside to pee. The host did require us to sign a rental agreement/ liability waiver and send a copy of a credit card.

A Special Place in South Park

1 site · RV6 acres · Hartsel, CO

Your base camp for Gold Medal fishing at Spinney Mountain Reservoir, or just some relaxation and stargazing! Once a gargantuan ranch, this section of South Park has been subdivided into residential and recreational lots so more of us can enjoy the local beauty. This neck of the woods remains sparsely populated, assuring you of peace and privacy. Learn more about this land: Enjoy exclusive use of this six-acre spread which features trees, rock outcroppings, and absurd mountain views. Remote yet accessible by county road, the property is a few miles from Hartsel, where you'll find a general store and saloon, and the other historic railroad settlements of Park County. (Learn about the South Park National Heritage Area at southparkheritage.org.) The property has flat (but not *quite* level) areas for easy tent setup and also gently sloping and wooded areas for exploring. All supplies (including water) must be packed in, and all waste packed out. I stashed a collapsible picnic table behind the big rock and you're welcome to use that, please just fold it and stash it again. There is a fire ring, please just check if there is in a burn ban in place. There are no structures at all on the property. Per Hipcamp and local zoning, you may not relieve yourself outdoors; you must be in a vehicle or privacy tent. If you see some expensively outfitted motorcyclists cruise by, they're from the Rawhyde Training Camp up the road so give them a wave!
