Great tent pad, surrounded by brush. Had a fire pit, a bear box, picnic table and water that made for a great site!

Weekend Trip to Quaking Aspens Campsite- For Kids!

My 3 kids (10-16) and I had such a lovely time. They loved the zip line and the net tunnel thing and made obstacle courses and had such a blast having it all to themselves. I loved all the details that made it comfortable!

1 night at Candyland Camper

We had such a wonderful stay! The host, Marni, was incredibly kind and welcoming which made us feel right at home. The camper was clean, comfortable, and really adorable. It is whimsical with bright colors and a happy mood. I really love that the camper has running water, a bathroom with shower, fridge, and heat! The nights were getting cool during our stay and the heat made us so comfortable. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. With pretty views, and the added joy of seeing horses, goats, and alpacas right on site. It was peaceful, fun, and such a unique experience to be surrounded by the animals. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a special camping trip! Thanks so much!

We loved this camping spot. We have 5 boys under 12 and it was the perfect spot to let them be boys and play! Every little detail was so thought out. Mollie was very responsive and answered any questions I had. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely adored our time at this campsite. The accomodations were great and lots of warm blankets & duvets. Our children had a blast playing in all the play structures on the property - zip line, trampoline and the tent swing were our faves. Good size fire pit (with a small swinging grill), large propane BBQ grill and 3 burner propane stove so space for cooking was ample. The space felt quiet and isolated with easy access to lots of great hikes and nature to explore nearby. Honestly the walk to and from the parking spot is not a huge deal if you are worried about it, though it is a small hill. The wagons help a ton! Mollie was a fantastic host who was easy to work with and very responsive. We will be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to Quaking Aspens Campsite- For Kids!

We just got back from the most incredible stay at this tent campsite, and we can’t stop talking about it! From the moment we arrived, everything was thoughtfully prepared and so well-stocked. We didn’t need to worry about a thing. It made traveling with kids so much easier and more enjoyable. The campsite itself was magical. Our kids had the time of their lives exploring, playing, and experiencing the outdoors in such a safe and comfortable setting. The zip line was an absolute hit, and the multiple playgrounds kept them entertained for hours. It truly felt like a little outdoor wonderland for families. Every little detail, from the cozy sleeping setup to the charming outdoor kitchen, was perfect. It felt like a dream getaway. And Mollie, where do we even begin? She is hands-down the best host we’ve ever encountered. Warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, she made sure our experience was unforgettable. You can tell how much heart and care she puts into this space. If you’re thinking about booking this place do it!! Whether you’re traveling with kids or just looking to disconnect and relax, this is the spot. We made memories that will last a lifetime!

Camping at 10,000 was something we had never done before. It was a beautiful site and the Aspen trees were just beginning to open. Mollie’s “glamping” tent had everything we needed, including enough beds for all 7 of us, games and an outdoor kitchen. Our grandkids loved being able to climb, swing and zip line on the play equipment. Mollie was very responsive to our needs and even sent a photo of her newly rescued dog. For an outdoor adventure with a few comforts of home, I’d recommend checking out this HipCamp site.
