Historic Ranch
Resort Valley Ranch was homesteaded mainly by the Corbin family starting.in 1884
They had moved their cattle here from nearby Pleasent Park during a particularly hard winter, as a "last resort", leading to the creeks being named Last Resort and West Resort.
Hard times in the 1930's and drought conditions, convinced the Corbin's to sell out and move to lusher climes.
Tom’s father, Dr. O.J. Butterfield was another doctor that invested his spare money in cattle ranching.
Purchased mainly before. 1945, Tom's older brother Rupert tried to make a living raising trout on the Resort Creek property in the late '40's.
Otherwise, the place was occupied by various old-timers who caretook the place until 1955, when Barbara and Tom moved here to oversee the cattle business.
The second slope of the driveway frequently had to be dug out by hand for access.
The years of drought had left the place overgrazed and barren.
Times were hard, and the horses needed to work the cattle ate plenty.
The opportunity arose to lease them out in nearby Foxton--Foxton Stables was born.
An old livery and other outbuildings provided the facilities needed.
Mutual benefit was derived from the business as customers to the general store also would take advantage of the riding horses just across the bridge.
Workers and helpers came from off-duty air force boys, as well as volunteer children from the local summer cabins.
Guided rides were offered, as well as moonlight rides when appropriate and by appointment.
There were also "Chuck Wagon" cookouts which included a horse-drawn hay ride to and from.
Tom and Barbara also put on a Trail Horse Trials which was an annual competition over obstacles, judged, set up to simulate obstacles a horse might encounter while out riding.
This became more widely attended the second year, coming to the notice of horse breeders like Mary Woolverton, who competed in it for the first time in 1963.
(That's when Nan first fell in love with Prince of Pride, a golden palomino Morgan stallion who always looked like the perfect horse showing how to do it perfectly.)
1963 is the last year this event, and the stable business, was held in Foxton.
From then on, the stable was run from the barn at the ranch, and the Trail Horse Trials was not put on again until 1966, when it was sponsored by the 4-H Trail Dusters and put on in conjunction with the first annual Top of the World Competitive Trail ride which was head-quartered on the west end of the property.
As the stable became busier, more horses were purchased or leased to meet the need.
Many of these horse were grade individuals from known breeds.
The better mares did double duty by raising foals each year, that would be sold or auctioned off.
Some of the mares were bred to our Shetland pony stallion, Tarzan, he was called a chocolate-dapple.
Several years we had Appaloosa offspring from a friend's stallion.
For a short time, a Moroccan Paint stallion was used, but he tended to throw the lethal white gene, as well as breaking Tom Butterfield's knee with his bad behavior.
He soon found his way back to auction!
A couple of the leased mares were Morgans.
They proved to be easy to work with as well as hardy individuals that kept well, and the foals proved easier to halter break than the other horses.
They made a good enough impression that a young gelding was purchased, and one nice mare was bred to the Morgan stallion Julio--descended from Juzan.
The resulting colt, Julian, was kept as stallion until age eight, before being gelded and living out his years as a family favorite.
Julian did a lovely running walk.
Unfortunately, none of his offspring were kept, including the two from the half Shetland mares kept for the family.
It may seem that the cattle operation got dropped by the wayside.
In actuality, that's not far from the truth.
The fact that the registered Herefords purchased by Tom and Barbara, turned out to carry dwarf genes, which soon became apparent each calving season.
This rather limited the value and productivity of the herd.
Financial concerns brought on by Dr. Butterfield's death in 1967, subsequently led to the dispersal of the cattle herd.
It was fortunate that the Stable had become established enough to become one of the mainstays of the family fortunes.
Diversification was always a necessity.
Horses were leased to the Forest Service when they needed them.
The entire string would be utilized for company picnics, with the horses being brought to the site.
Churches were sent flyers promoting group rides and hayrides.
Boy Scout troops were welcomed to camp, ride and work on both Horsemanship and Conservation Merit Badges--which benefited in valuable erosion control work.
Many times, ranch hands were obtained from these sources, both for fencing and Christmas tree cutting.
There were many winters that the place carried over a hundred head of horses, as several camps in the area would winter their horses here.
Dad would haul them back and forth, pull their shoes, etc.
Our pinto line originated with Barbara's mare Calico, a pinto mare of unknown breeding, though Tennessee Walker was suspected due to her gaits.
Having been diagnosed with Navicular disease, she was bred to the Shetland, Tarzan, a chocolate-dapple--producing the mare Feather (Nan's pony).
This line has been bred only to Morgans since '66, when Feather was bred to General James, producing the mare Calico Doll, granddam to our stallion RV Eagle Feather.
Doll was only 14.2, but she had heart, stamina and intelligence.
Having learned much at the knee of the Shetland, Feather, Nan began training Doll in 1970.
This mare was just four years old when she took the High Point Champion in the '71 Trail Horse Trials, over some tough competition, including Mary Woolverton's Prince of Pride.
She could side-pass, two track, drag a log, pull a cart without blinders, open gates, work livestock and run all day.
She also would gait occasionally, a trait that skipped a generation.
Calico Doll was bred to Prince of Pride five different times, prior to his death in 1973(?).
She would get in foal but never carried to term.
Nan did some riding for Mary in exchange for these breedings, working Victory Vagabond.
Finally the arrangement was settled by getting Calico Doll in foal to her stallion, Great Hills Richmond.
Calico Doll's brown colt from this cross was sold on to the Tumbling River Ranch for cattle work.
In the 1970's, a local breeder came to our attention with her stallion, Topside Midnight, when she competed him in the Top of the World Competitive Trail Ride.
The crossing of Calico Doll with Midnight produced the black 3/4 Morgan stallion, Jaspar, in 1974.
He was used for breeding four or five years, overlapping the transition to pureblooded Morgans in 1977. I always thought it unfortunate that he wasn't pure-blooded as he had wonderful manners, was very solid and typey and a generous sire.
We sold his offspring until 1985 and still have a great-granddaughter.
He was gelded in '81, and sold in '82.
A few of the solid colored part-bloods come down from this line of the family.
One of his daughters has competed as a grade horse in Competitive Trail riding for the past ten years.
Three major land sales were required for operating expenses during the late '60's and early '70's.
The Indian Park Ranch was decreased to 280 acres, Resort Valley Ranch decreased from 5,000 acres to its present 4,000.
The Camp Fire Girls purchased the property adjacent to the driveway, leading to their utilizing horses from our string for their horse program.
As the Camp increased its horse program, the public stables was gradually phased out.
This freed up the Butterfield's lifestyle enough for them to focus on starting raising the pure-blooded Morgans, beginning with their purchase of SH Crescent in 1976.

Notes
-No fires what so ever! Fire danger is extremely high in this area.
- Although we are only forty miles from the Sand Dunes park, it is a four hour drive to get there, so maybe not the best area to stay if the dunes are on your list.
- Days in the summer can get pretty hot and shade is hard to come by, so plan a day trip to Florence river park, (about 30 minutes drive)and hop in the Arkansas river and cool off.
- this is a wilderness area and all Colorado wildlife is present.

We are located on the beautiful eastern plains of Colorado southeast of Denver. Rolling hills dotted with Ponderosa pines that encourage wildlife to settle in. Pikes Peak, Longs Peak and Mount Evans are all visible on clear days. We have 35 acres and raised alpaca’s until recently, chickens, cats and dogs as well as a large garden. We are totally off grid and enjoy life in the home my husband built using trees he cut down and milled on his sawmill. We lived on the property in a 400sq ft cottage while building the house. We have numerous camping spots available in a small grove of Ponderosa Pines or on the plains if you want a clear view of the stars at night! A rustic outhouse is available close by as is a water hydrant. Parking is available close by.
We added the Bijou Tree House to our options a couple years ago! It is a one room cabin (sleeps 2on a queen size built in bed) with an incredible picture window that frames Pikes Peak beautifully. It is nestle among some old Ponderosa Pines; sports a cute but tiny wood burning stove; bar table in front of the window; deck with seating and a propane camp chef 2 burner stove. A hammock is available for use and private outhouse just a few feet away.

New Sky’s bones are those of an old settler’s homestead in the San Luis Valley that dates back to the early 1900’s. Nestled up against the Rio Grande National Forest, it is a high mountain desert oasis that holds the original dance hall of the county and a whole lot of history.
New Sky Ranch is a wild, wild place. We are not only off grid, but also nestled in a large natural caldera (meaning a volcano that has collapsed on itself) and are right next to national forest. This means that we can experience all 4 seasons in a single day - having extreme winds and rain in one moment, and clear summer skies the next! We invite you to not only be prepared for this, but to lean into the experience as this unique high alpine environment can be one of the most inspiring and epic places on earth.
We are currently fixing up what is already on the property for an eco-experiential retreat as well as a space for like minded artists to take refuge and create magic on the land. We currently have our workshop and studio space up and running as well as the first of several livable structures completed - an 100 year old rehabbed miners cabin using Hempcrete and other natural materials, complete with a communal outdoor kitchen. We also have begun hosting our first artist/maker residents who are using the shop space and land to bring their own creations to life. Over time, we have dreams of permaculture farming, eco building workshops, community collaboration, and the ability to host gatherings – however, we are committed to taking it all one step at a time and allowing only what is meant to be to unfold. For now it is simply our home, a maker space for art and experimental eco building, a gathering spot for friends and a quiet Hipcamp spot.

Lake George, CO · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
Escape to Colorado's wide-open high country near Eleven Mile Reservoir, where quiet campsites, big-sky views, and dark, star-filled nights create a peaceful basecamp for fishing, boating, hiking, wildlife watching, and relaxing away from town.
Our property offers private, low-impact campsites on raw mountain land with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the natural surroundings. This is a great fit for campers seeking a simple, scenic, off-grid experience close to Eleven Mile Reservoir, Spinney Mountain Reservoir, the South Platte River, and the Lake George area.
The campsites are intentionally rustic. Guests should come prepared for dry camping and changing mountain weather. The area can be windy, dusty, cold at night, and exposed to strong sun during the day. Wildlife may be present, so food and trash must be secured at all times. Campfires are permitted only when local fire restrictions allow, and guests are expected to follow all Park County and state fire regulations.
This is a quiet, nature-focused destination for responsible campers who value space, scenic views, and easy access to some of Colorado's best outdoor recreation without the crowds of a developed campground. Pack in what you need, pack out what you bring, respect the land, and enjoy a peaceful stay in the high country.

Calhan, CO · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
We’re so excited to welcome you to our 80-acre piece of country paradise right near Calhan, Colorado-in the heart of a working wind farm!
Tucked among mature trees for privacy and shelter from the Colorado breeze, our campsites offer quiet relaxation with beautiful views of rolling hillsides, abundant wildlife, and the impressive wind turbines that dot the landscape. Many guests love being so close to the towers — their gentle, rhythmic whooshing sound is often described as mesmerizing, creating a unique and peaceful backdrop to your stay. .
All sites are nestled in the trees, giving you a true sense of seclusion while remaining close to adventure.
We’re conveniently located just 2.5 miles from the stunning Paint Mines Interpretive Park and Trails (with its colorful geological formations and hiking paths) and 4 miles from the El Paso County Fairgrounds, which hosts exciting events all summer long. The charming town of Calhan is only 4 miles north, where you’ll find a grocery store, restaurants, gas stations, and a dollar store for all your essentials.
Bring your bikes and explore the Paint Mines or wander our own trails (dirtbike track) right on the property. We have some of the best-tasting well water around — feel free to fill up your jugs at the hydrant near the southeast corner of the garden.
Come experience our dream as it unfolds and soak in the serenity. We can’t wait to share this peaceful slice of Colorado with you!
A few important notes:
Dogs are welcome, but they must be well-trained, friendly, and respectful of other animals. They’re free to roam, but chasing calves or causing trouble with livestock will not be tolerated. We have our own dogs and will do our best to keep them secured with advance notice of your estimated arrival time.
No bathroom facilities are available.
Campfires are not permitted unless explicitly approved by us.
Upon arrival, we’ll happily check you in and show you to your campsite. We’ll be available if you need anything, but we won’t disturb your peace otherwise.
We hope to see you soon! Feel free to follow the progress of our property (and all the fun chaos of this big transition) on Facebook at @jamiejohnson and Instagram @jamiejohnson080808

David is an absolute sweetheart and so accommodating! His property is beautiful, and so close to town! He went out of his way to show us around, introduce us to all the animals, and even sent us home with jam and a dried fruit mix that he had made. I will definitely be back !!! 🌞

I had a very lovely stay at Cesar’s tiny cabin in the woods. I normally go car camping, but decided to try something different. Loved the coffee maker in the morning. I didn’t have to break out my portable stove and coffee percolator. Also the cabin has WiFi so I was able to watch movies on my phone at night before bed. Essentially the cabin has everything you need ie micro, lights, mini fridge, portable toilet, bbq, potbelly stove etc., yet you’re in the woods, but have the conveniences of home. I would like to say I don’t recommend Cesar’s camp spot so I don’t have trouble booking it in the future. However, that wouldn’t be true. lol If you do book Little Bear, I know you will enjoy it.

Weekend Trip to Beautiful Views Tipi
This trip was exactly what my friends and I needed. It was fun and comfortable staying in the tipi. The views were gorgeous! The port-a-potty was perfectly clean and stocked, and having the picnic tables and outside chairs was more than comfortable for our meal prep and hanging out. We opted to bring a canopy, which helped a lot with the daytime sun and heat. Charles was excellent with communications and stressed how much he hoped we enjoyed the stay; a perfect host.

We loved camping on Ryan's land. The views and the skies were absolutely amazing. River access for fishing (Dream Stream) is only 10 minutes away. Lake access to 11 Mile is approximately 15 minutes away. If you love fishing, beautiful views, and open spaces, this is the spot. Winds in the afternoon can become quite dicey, so make sure you are securely tied down and prepared for the weather to change in minutes (it is Colorado). Ryan was quick to respond and sent great pics to help navigate the area. We will definitely be returning!

My husband and I really enjoyed camping up at Jeff’s not only was secluded, but the scenery was beautiful. Felt very lucky to be able to go enjoy a piece of his property and will do it again it’s spacious, especially if you have family and you won’t be bothering any other fellow campers!

Weekend Trip to Infinite Empire Farm
This was the perfect place to stay a night on our drive from Texas. Just on the edge of town, this camp had beautiful scenery, but was only 5 minutes from Main St. The tent was clean and comfortable, I'm really glad we stayed here instead of a hotel.

If you are here reading this review it's because you're thinking of booking this campsite.
Let me save you a lot of time: DO IT.
Josh's place is amazing. The views are incredible!! He provided a gas fire pit with full tank of propane and for a small extra fee he setup a Blackstone with additional gas so we wouldn't have to carry extra stuff from home.
As other reviews stated: the outhouse is very clean and has no smell! There is an outhouse for each campsite. The sites are close to each other but very very secluded, you feel like you are in the wilderness alone. Dogs are allowed to roam offleash which our girls enjoyed to the max running all over the property! There's plenty of trails to walk and Josh is so incredibly accommodating.
We will come back!

Paul and Robin’s Library Schoolhouse rental is so awesome! The rental is a one room cabin decorated like an old schoolhouse on the prairie. Super cute and very comfortable. There is a very clean toilet and shower room on the side of the building. We went for a peaceful night of stargazing. The views were breathtakingly clear of the Milky Way, constellations, with the Sande Cristo mountains at the forefront. Gorgeous.
Paul met us at the gate and gave us some great information about the area and their land. He and his wife have put so much love and hard work into this property. We can’t wait to go back and experience other seasons in the alpine desert.
