In the 1990's a ranchland section (640 Acres) was divided into 60+ acre small prairie farm properties.. Purchasing this pristine, untouched land in early 2000, we built our farm style home in 2004. Living where there are more hawks and pronghorn than people, this quiet prairie setting is a delightful home. WyndyRidge is aptly named for the almost constant breeze. For traveling estimates, our property is 1 hour from Parker, CO; 1 hour from Castle Rock, CO; 1 hour from Bennet, CO; 1 1/2 hour from many destinations in Colorado Springs, CO.

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!

We offer a parking spot at night to have a quick safe place to stay. We do not allow the camper to stay multiple continuous days without leaving as you must leave during the day time, but are welcome to return at night.
---shower is only available if our office is open when you arrive-----
---We sometimes have Buses leaving or returning to our facility late at night, so just know you might hear a large bus pulling in late at night.
---PLEASE DO NOT block our Iron Gate with the H on it, or stick out into the entrance of the facility. If you stick out too far, you need to park North to South , which is parallel to the wood fence with the customer parking signs on it. You can block the handicap signs also if needed. You are also welcome to park in between the building and the front garden bed area as well if you prefer. The ground is not too level there, so you will need to level your rv.
Here is a little bit about us!
We rent motorhomes, camper vans, travel trailers, Paddleboards, and party buses! We are a perfect fit for hip camping because we are right across the street from Red Rocks Open Space, 5 min away from Garden of the Gods, and right off of HWY24 to head deeper into the Rockies! We are a full service RV facility, so we have mechanics on site if you need your rig looked at also! We are all camper van folks and know the struggle of not being able to find a safe spot.

In the 1990's a ranchland section (640 Acres) was divided into 60+ acre small prairie farm properties.. Purchasing this pristine, untouched land in early 2000, we built our farm style home in 2004. Living where there are more hawks and pronghorn than people, this quiet prairie setting is a delightful home. WyndyRidge is aptly named for the almost constant breeze. For traveling estimates, our property is 1 hour from Parker, CO; 1 hour from Castle Rock, CO; 1 hour from Bennet, CO; 1 1/2 hour from many destinations in Colorado Springs, CO.

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!

We offer a parking spot at night to have a quick safe place to stay. We do not allow the camper to stay multiple continuous days without leaving as you must leave during the day time, but are welcome to return at night.
---shower is only available if our office is open when you arrive-----
---We sometimes have Buses leaving or returning to our facility late at night, so just know you might hear a large bus pulling in late at night.
---PLEASE DO NOT block our Iron Gate with the H on it, or stick out into the entrance of the facility. If you stick out too far, you need to park North to South , which is parallel to the wood fence with the customer parking signs on it. You can block the handicap signs also if needed. You are also welcome to park in between the building and the front garden bed area as well if you prefer. The ground is not too level there, so you will need to level your rv.
Here is a little bit about us!
We rent motorhomes, camper vans, travel trailers, Paddleboards, and party buses! We are a perfect fit for hip camping because we are right across the street from Red Rocks Open Space, 5 min away from Garden of the Gods, and right off of HWY24 to head deeper into the Rockies! We are a full service RV facility, so we have mechanics on site if you need your rig looked at also! We are all camper van folks and know the struggle of not being able to find a safe spot.

Teresa’s camp site was amazing for my family and I!!! Teresa was extremely helpful and responsive from the beginning of our booking and shared this responsiveness and communication throughout our stay. My daughter and her cousin were able to run around freely without fear of them getting hurt. We were right by the petting zoo so they also had a ton of fun feeding the donkeys and goats carrots. We also paid for the horse backing riding lesson which was so much fun. There is also a little town about 14 mins away from the site that has shops, and an amazing lake that we went to explore on our second to last day. We will be coming back and I recommend to anyone but especially families with children; we all had the best time. Thank you Teresa ❤️❤️❤️

I highly recommend this campground. I came here for the first time 3 years ago where my family and I were part of a commercial for an RV company, and it did not disappoint.

My husband and I had a really great night at the sunshine tent! I will say, definitely don’t plan to go when it’s retold like we did. The host provides a lovely propane heater, but it can only do so much. The hot tub was a wonderful sight and was very comfortable and clean. The space has a small, private fence around it which makes it that much nicer. We had a very sweet cat visitor with us all night snuggling up to keep warm. Would absolutely recommend!

The land was gorgeous waking up to windmills surrounding you is definitely an incredible experience. The hosts were just incredible too! I won’t lie this was our first time car camping so we were ROOKIES! We got stuck in the snow, and when we gave up trying to shovel ourselves out, we texted our hosts and he they immediately came and got us out. They are incredible people not only did they help us but the entire time they were so gracious and kind!
