Weekend Trip to Lakeside Camping, Water Time :)

Great spot, we loved it there and met our expectations

1 night at Lakeside Camping, Water Time :)

We had such a great time camping here. Mike's directions were very clear, the campsites were perfect, and he even had canoes and kayaks! There was another camper who said she stays there whenever she can for a getaway, which made it feel even more special. Thanks for a great stay, and we'll be back next time we're in the area!

Weekend Trip to Tater's Black Canyon Campground

Really enjoyed my stay at Tater's! Unfortunately never got to meet the cat him/herself, but the views were to die for. It was peaceful, and the shower house is such a nice luxury when you've been sleeping outside. Would love to visit again and highly reccomend :)

Weekend Trip to Rabbit Hole Ranch

Jen was responsive and helpful. Beautiful views and peaceful, quiet area. Their very sweet dog on the ranch played with ours.

Weekend Trip to Wideawake Ranch and Waterhouse

This was a nice location and the owners were kind!

Weekend Trip to Wideawake Ranch and Waterhouse

Awesome spot! Nice folks running the place and very accommodating. We’ll be back.

Weekend Trip to wentz family farm

Another wonderful weekend at Wentz’s Family Farm. We stayed in the RV at the fishing hole. We’ve previously camped at both the fishing hole and the lake. The farm is a beautiful place to spend time either fishing and boating in the lakes or just relaxing by a camp fire, this place will definitely help you relax. This last visit we decided to stay in the RV. The nights are a bit chilly and the RV is heated. It’s a cute and comfortable RV with a little kitchen. We enjoyed the stay and look forward to a few more outings at the farm throughout the summer.

Weekend Trip to Lakeside Camping, Water Time :)

The land is beautiful and the views are gorgeous! Easy access and fun amenities

3 nights at Camp Lake View

We enjoyed our stay on Zach’s land! It was peaceful and relaxing with privacy. We saw cows, antelope (?), cacti, flowers and locally there’s donkeys and prairie dogs. The nearest stores are about 40 min away, which includes an Ace Hardware store, gas station, restaurant and a few other stores. Lake George has a general store/gift shop. We had full phone service at the site. The reservoir is a short distance away (you need a permit) and also a short distance is off roading into the National Forest for your toys. The sun is strong so be mindful of your time (I burned in 1 hour of sun)! The weather was perfect on our trip(late afternoon breeziness one day). Site was pretty easy to find. The area is in eleven mile state park. Overall a nice experience

Weekend Trip to Lakeside Camping, Water Time :)

The tent spots worked amazing for our group! We reserved all 3 spots and they are close together, away from the other sites and shaded. Mike was a great host with plenty of firewood, kayaks and seated available. We will be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to High Peaks Campground

We were very happy to stay here! We chose site 18 which is in it's own little area. The view of the peaks is stunning and the DARK night sky is even better. Great communication, no issues–just quiet enjoyment. Thank you!!

Weekend Trip to Yeti Sanctuary

Beautiful place with well maintained sites. Tim is a great host.

2 nights at Yeti Sanctuary

Beautiful area. I recommend bringing bedding or sleeping bags for the Yeti hut. It was great to have shelter for spring camping with unexpected rain/snow. We stayed warm in the hut!

1 night at Rabbit Hole Ranch

I love this little spot! It’s secluded and absolutely gorgeous.

1 night at Yeti Sanctuary

Absolutely beautiful property. It would have been my dream camping trip come true if I was a little better prepared. This was one stop along my way moving to Idaho from North Carolina, I have the overlanding setup. Roof top tent, on board water, shower tent, I even have a diesel heater and icy breeze air conditioning cooler. Problem is, I was doing more than just camping I was moving and had a bunch more than I normally would. My heater was buried beneath all my other crap. I decided, well I make the best of it and just sleep in the cab of my truck and enjoy the beautiful scenery. About midnight I couldn’t feel my toes anymore so unfortunately I called it and went into town for a hotel. If I would have planned a little better on where I packed my stuff, this would have been an amazing stop!

1 night at Lakeside Camping, Water Time :)

This is a very small private area. I enjoyed the water fowl, rabbits, bats, and many other birds. The outhouse was the cleanest I have ever seen! This location was a convenient stop on our road trip along I-70. There was firewood waiting.

Weekend Trip to Rabbit Hole Ranch

Host was super communicative and dispersed spots were easy to find. Beautiful sunset over a salt flat from our spot. Felt private and quiet. Mentioned in site description so not a surprise or an issue, but there were a couple friendly ranch dogs who wandered over to say hi and stuck around with us for a bit.

Weekend Trip to Yeti Sanctuary

The property is beautiful. Tim greeted me when I arrived. I was on a solo trip this time but can’t wait to bring the kids next time.

Weekend Trip to Yeti Sanctuary

We had a fantastic camping experience at Tim’s place. The area is clean, quiet, and absolutely beautiful—perfect for anyone looking to relax and unwind in nature. What really stood out was how thoughtful Tim was. He checked in with us daily just to make sure we had everything we needed and even offered helpful recommendations on places to visit nearby. It’s clear he cares about his guests having a great time. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Yeti Sanctuary

Place was perfect. Tim was a great host and the neighbors were friendly. We still had our privacy, which was nice. Can’t wait to go back in the summer.

Campfire Ranch on the Taylor

20 sites · Tents10 acres · Almont, CO

We believe campgrounds should be more fun, more accessible and more inclusive for all kinds of campers - that's why we started Campfire Ranch to make camping easier.

If you've never been to the area, get ready to be amazed, with over 2,500 square miles of public land, 700+ miles of singletrack trail and countless rivers, creeks and lakes to explore. We'll see y'all in the woods! We will open May 16th for the 2025 season! Bookings are available up to 60 days in advance. Please contact us before booking if you are seeking a family focused experience - we do not have a kids area or playground and require that children under the age of 16 be in the company of an adult at all times due to our proximity to Co Rd 742 and the Taylor River.

Camp Catori

1 site · Lodging6 acres · Fort Garland, CO

At Camp Catori we specialize in allowing you to reconnect with yourself and believe that wellness combines mental, physical, emotional, spiritual well-being and fun. We provide an off-grid retreat experience for our guests, and a chance to reconnect with nature and find inner peace. Our 6-acre property offers stunning mountain views of the Mt. Blanca range and access to various outdoor activities, including fishing, paddleboarding, and hiking. We are conveniently located 30 minutes from the Great Sand Dunes NP, Zapata Falls, and aim to provide a secluded space to relax and rejuvenate. Here, guests can feel the sacred energy of the land, surrounded by the healing properties of sage and quartz. We invite you to come and explore our grounds, and reconnect with your higher self. We are 100% off-grid. There is no well or septic system. For running water we provide 6 (5) gallon jugs to fill nearby and the tank under the sink for $1 per container. The tank holds 35 gallons. It’s easy and has plenty of water when used conservatively. The shower uses 1.75 gallons per minute so make it fast if you decide to shower. DO NOT allow the tank to fall below 1/4 as it will break the water pump thus creating a very expensive repair. You’ll be able to see the water line to monitor usage. The composting toilet is easy to use. All parties must watch a 2-minute video and agree to use it properly. You must monitor the urine bucket and discard it accordingly. Liquid in the composting bin or using or placing paper or products where it is not allowed will result in a $150 cleaning fee. If you are not willing to discard a bucket of your own urine in a designated spot by the cabin this place is not for you. The primary loft has a comfortable queen-size bed, 4 pillows, and a comforter. The second loft has two twin beds placed together to create a queen-size but can be taken apart. There are also 4 pillows and one queen-size comforter. The sofa is a pull-out that can sleep another small person (5’10 or shorter). Like camping, you must bring your own sheets or sleeping bags. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge/freezer, a Wonderoven, a classic Nespresso machine, a French press, an Italian press, a Tramontina all-in-one pan with steamer grate (great for cooking fish), a medium-sized Dutch oven for the stove (soups, sauces), griddle, utensils, knives, plates, and cooking and grilling utensils. We have a propane stove and outdoor grill. We have an eat-in kitchen for 2, a table outside that seats 6 to 7 people as well as a 2-person outdoor ledge looking out at the mountains. An internet hotspot is available for $10 per day via Solis. We also use our mobile phone hotspot which usually does the trick for both laptop work and watching TV. NOTE: From November through May, the cabin is dry with no running water due to freezing temperatures. GROUP CAMPING OR A RETREAT? In addition to the cabin we also have 3 generously sized cleared camping spots each with gorgeous mountain views making it a great option for group camping (4x4 vehicle required to access) or to host a retreat. Contact me, Catori to inquire at 720-474-0779.

Rabbit Hole Ranch

108 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Alamosa East, CO

The Rabbit Hole Ranch offers beautiful unobstructed views of the majestic Blanca Massif and the Great Sand Dunes and is just a (gorgeous) 35 minute drive from both to include Zapata Falls. The Great Sand Dunes National Park is a must-see, and I am grateful for the opportunity to offer you a place nearby to set up camp and go exploring. Alamosa, the largest town in the SLV, is just 20 minutes away. With a population of around 9,800 Alamosa has that small town feel and has the goods and services you will need. Camping here at the Rabbit Hole Ranch is primitive and dispersed (no numbered sites) and there 30 acres available for you to use. Typically, you will experience a rare kind of solitude and silence that feels…. other-worldly, with incredible sunrises and sunsets filling the enormous skies. On holidays, however, expect it to be busy. Our two Great Pyrenees are here to help keep you and your pets (and our chickens) safe. Please help make their jobs easier by not leaving any food or trash in or around tents. Please keep your pets on leash or under control until you’re comfortably certain they get along with all three of our dogs. This year we have a new Great Pyrenees to greet you, his name is TheoVon and he is huge! Returning this season is KayLee also a GP and and Finn, who is a little Benji lookin rescue from Alaska who just LOVES everyone. :) Quiet time begins at 10:00 pm. Note: Holidays still offer the excellent location and spectacular views, but are likely to be less quiet and far more busy. We do not strictly enforce quiet time during holidays.

Be sure to bring extra bug spray and protection needed against biting insects such as flies, gnats, and mosquitoes. For those bringing your pets, they MUST be on a leash/lead at all times. While I do not have much cactus on my property, I do have an abundance of greasewood (Chico brush) which is very thorn-like if stepped on. Accommodations for those with livestock or horses, just make sure you chat in advance your initial message. Close to BLM, and National Forest as well as 3 hot springs within 20 miles and the Great Sand Dunes.

We walked from the campsite to a few national park trails that came right to the property. We enjoyed learning about the history of the property - from an old mining town to a ranch. Mr. Bill W. – August 2024 Just what we needed. Very cool place with awesome hosts. The hot soak was amazing! Birds, squirrels, and a chipmunk were our camping buddies. Incredibly quiet at night. We will definitely be back for camping AND more of the amazing spring water. Eleah M. – July 2024 My son and I have camped here three times now. We love it and always have the most awesome neighbors. The hosts Gwen and Matt are so kind and helpful! Stacy H. – June 2024 This experience by far exceeded my expectations. The hosts were so kind and gracious, doing all they could to ensure that I felt comfortable and taken care of. Really down to the earth sweet humans. The property was gorgeous! I chose to do the natural spring water soak and that was an incredible experience. I would highly recommend it. Don’t hesitate to book this property, everything about it was perfect!

Neverland/Camp Wilder

5 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · Nederland, CO

Welcome to Camp Wilder! We are an off-the-beaten-path camp offering peace and solitude. The cabin is very special to my family and me. It was passed down as a mining claim from my grandmother who founded it in the '60s. The vision for the land was simply perfect. A small 10 x 10 cabin with the whole mountain to explore and whoever they wished to bring with them. The town of Nederland is 10 minutes down the road where you can fish at Baker Reservoir. Lots of fun little stores in town to keep the family busy. Wildlife is everywhere up by the cabin/campsite, always remember don't leave food lying around with lots of great things to look for around the magical town of Nederland.

Lakeside camping in Colorado guide

Overview

Every mountain has a valley—and in Colorado, that means glistening blue mountain lakeside getaways. And even at altitude, many lakes get warm enough to swim in during the summer months. The third-largest body of water in Colorado, Lake Granby is a popular spot with campers for fishing and swimming, as well as paddleboarding rentals. And while the water can be quite icy, you can’t beat the views in Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest at Brainard Lake and its Pawnee Campground in Ward near Boulder, where you’ll find (brave) paddleboarders, fishers, and canoers admiring the vistas, as well as a vast network of lakeside biking and hiking trails. If you’re looking for a fuller beach experience at a lower elevation, visit Chatfield State Park near Denver for day-use picnic tables, kayaks, and more. Nestle your feet in the sand, pack snacks and floaties, then rinse off at the coin-operated restroom showers before heading back to your camping spot.
