Weekend Trip to A-Lodge Salida

We had a great experience staying at the A Lodge tent site. The spot felt peaceful, secluded, and safe, especially with a few permanent camper trailers on the property. The location is fantastic, only about 15 minutes from Salida Colorado, making it super convenient for exploring local activities. The amenities building (bathrooms, hot showers, and laundry) was a bit of a walk from our spot, especially on snowy nights or rainy days, so we ended up driving there most of the time. The bathrooms were basic but impressively clean, and the hot showers were a huge plus after a long day out. The host was super nice, he answered the phone immediately when we needed help and was extremely helpful and attentive. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We’d definitely consider coming back!

The orchard site was perfect and secluded. I was car camping with my dog, and we had a cozy evening by the fire, under a sky lit up with stars. Having the toilet nearby was convenient, especially with how cold it was the night we were there. We walked over to watch the horses in the morning and enjoy the views. I would stay there again!

This was a perfect stopover on our way to Great Sand Dunes National Park! The camp was very well maintained and the directions were easy to follow. We were treated to an unbelievable sunset, a gorgeous starry night, and stellar views to wake up to. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

This campsite was surrounded by beautiful views and no one to bother you. John, the host was super chill and friendly, even gave me some fresh green beans from his garden. There is great hiking nearby and a river for you and your dogs to play in. Definitely recommend. Thanks John!

Friendly hosts, nice place but be aware that if you have a vehicle wider than a Class B van you won't be able to access their designated camping area as their secondary gate is too narrow. There's plenty of space to camp outside that area but there's a lot of road noise in that location. Just a minor inconvenience that wouldn't put me off staying there again.

Anthony and Jared are amazing hosts! They make you feel welcome and cared for, are super attentive and readily available if you need anything. It is so fun to watch the goats, Oreo, Star and Marlberry play and munch. The main tree offers lots of shade and the sunsets are spectacular, we even saw rainbows the last two times we stayed there!! This hipcamp farm is a little slice of heaven super close to Denver and surrounding areas.

Loved the location and the goats and cows! This was the perfect spot for us to attend some 4th of July concerts in Boulder. The tenant on the property was friendly and helpful and our host Jared was very communicative and helpful. We would definitely stay again but be warned … 1) ask for an address don’t follow the coordinates on Hipcamp or you’ll end up in the neighbors property. 2) The second gate to the camping area is CRAZY tight …just barely enough to squeeze a class c through with mirrors drawn in and not much opportunity to maneuver.

Loved this campground! Very quiet and the ground to pitch my tent on was supple. It's situated well away from lights so the stargazing was great here. David was also a pleasant surprise during our stay. There's also a field with cows next to the grounds as well. They will come to you if you approach the fence.

Absolutely amazing spot for a night or a few days. The hosts are lovely, and the goats are friendly. Not too far from Golden, Coors, Lakewood and so much more, but yet you completely get the farm vibe.

This was a nice quiet property with plenty of space within the greater Denver area. The goats were both friendly and courteous! They stayed off the carpet under our awning and kept us company by laying in the shadow of our vehicle. There are numerous places to shop and eat nearby.
