Valmont, CO · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to our charming 2-acre meadow nestled in East Boulder. Just minutes from town - near bike trails, shops and restaurants. A great pitstop on your way to or from the mountains - or base camp for the adventures in Front Range. We aren't fancy, but we are convenient, cozy and safe. Gate code will be provided 48 hours before arrival.
We have spots in the wide open meadow for Tents, Motorhomes, Vans, Trailers, and Rooftop setups. The grounds are a bit sloped but we've got leveling boards (please leave them behind).
We've got Boulder's best eggs (help yourself up at the coop), a few walking paths through tall wild grasses, a campfire ring, solar shower, small sink, gas grill, and a lovely porta-jon that’s cleaned weekly.
We can handle RVs up to 45 feet - truck and trailer. It’s a big field, but a narrow, winding and steep gravel ramp to get in and out.
We have a community fire pit with free burn wood, though the big logs are few and far between; your own firewood is recommended - as well as an ax or saw. If it's windy, please skip the fire... the BFD is very strict about this!!
We have well water feeding a solar shower (only hot when the sun shines) and sink (non potable unless you have a filter).
We have a wading / dog pool continually refreshed from the creek. It’s a saving grace in the summertime. 8/29/26- creek is all dried up.
Well behaved dogs under voice control are welcome off-leash. If you find your dog to be problematic, please keep them on-leash. The chickens free range during the day, so please mind your dog. There is a 3-figure dead or injured chicken fee.
THE GOOD:
*Easy in and out location close to town
*Lots of sun
*Outdoor solar shower
*Cold creek water plunge pool
*Fresh eggs
*Good view of small airplanes
*Community fire pit
*Gas grill
THE BAD:
*Daytime road noise
*Small airport nearby
*No Generators - no exceptions
*Almost zero shade
*Shower only hot when the sun shines
*Pool is fed from a creek
*Good Morning Rooster
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Safe travels!
Sincerely,
Brooke and Patrick

Salida, CO · 17 sites
Nestled in a small valley in the San Isabel National Forest along the south fork of the Arkansas River, Monarch Spur RV Park and Campground is at 8,620 feet above sea level – literally in the Heart of the Rockies.
We offer free Wi-Fi access*, clean laundry and shower facilities, and a camp store with last-minute supplies, snacks & souvenirs. Most of our large tent campsites are right on the south fork of the Arkansas river offering a peaceful & relaxing setting.
*Cell Service/Internet: We are located in the beautiful Rocky Mountains right on the South Arkansas River surrounded lots of shady trees, amazing nearby hikes, fishing & much more. This is the perfect environment to relax and be immersed in nature but not so perfect to be fully connected like you are at home as there is no Cell Service provided by any of the large carriers, (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc…). We do provide free WIFI that will help send a text, make a call or check an email, but that is about it. The free WIFI works best near the camp store and some of the closer RV sites. It does not work at all at the tent sites. We highly suggest you bring your own internet (Your personal Starlink will work great here) if you are wanting stay fully connected, work remotely or do other heavy internet tasks. We want your stay to be as enjoyable as possible so please do not come here and have the unrealistic expectation that our free WIFI will meet your streaming, remote working or internet heavy needs.

Crestone, CO · 2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Hi! We are a bright family in a small community, developing our 42 acres in Crestone, Colorado. Our property features a host of cottonwood trees, a seasonal creek, a creative outdoor bath house and a 1.5 acre mini farm in progress. There is a bell tent available with a king. There is one tent or vehicle camping location. There is no shore power for vans/rvs or wifi near the camp sites. The property is also home to abundant wildlife including a Great Horned Owl, Coyote packs, Elk, Deer, Woodpeckers, Hummingbirds, Bobcats, Bats and Frogs, and the neighbors farm animals.
Crestone is a beautiful, remote, high desert wilderness surrounded by classic Colorado (almost) 14-ners with high alpine lakes, rivers, hot springs, rock climbing, mountain biking, and our property borders on the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Crestone is also known for its 30 diverse spiritual centers, incredible star gazing as a official dark sky community, alien sightings, and it's beautiful and unique housing community that focuses on building with reclaimed and natural building methods. Our home, like many of the homes here, is creatively made from recycled materials, using two train cars for the body of the house. The property also hosts a 1200 square foot Dojo, built by the previous owner, a Qi Gong master lineage carrier. We are completely off grid, using solar power, wood heat and some propane when needed. We aren't on sewer or septic, so this is an opportunity for the understanding of composting toilet and humanure systems.
Our goals on the property are to enhance our lives, and those in our community, with everything we do here. Our home and community provides an opportunity to learn about natural living and building methods, composting, the beauty and challenge of living off grid, and ample opportunities to be in nature. We host seasonal events that have roots in our ancient humanity. It is an opportunity to experience the deep quiet of the community of nature, while still having modern cleanliness and coziness.

On the edge of Echo Valley Ranch, this area was named for a local opera singer whose voice could reportedly be heard throughout the valley and was described as magical. It’s also surprisingly quiet, with the breath of the forest and the quaking of the aspens often the only sounds—unless the elk are nearby.
We are surrounded on three sides by National Forest land. There is plenty of climbing nearby, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, including Miller Gulch, and Lake Wellington is just a few miles away. We have a 14 shot disc golf course on the property.
While we are remote, we’re only 15 minutes from restaurants and stores in Bailey. Cell reception is limited in the area, so come prepared to unplug. If needed, cell service is available about half a mile away.

The cabin was exactly as described and having access to a bathroom was an extra bonus! The bed, although it is a double, is actually pretty comfy. We saw wild turkey & deer roaming around which was pretty cool. As for the host, Debbie, she was very friendly and even let us check in a little early since the cabin was ready! I would highly recommend this cabin and North Shore if you are looking for a get-a-way that is reasonably priced and easy access.

We had such a great overnight stay. The owners are very down to earth and pleasant to talk with. Their location is both easy to access as well as away from everything. The tent decks are perfect and you are tucked up in the aspens, it feels private. You’ll have access to the kitchen and grill, the outdoor seating area to enjoy your meal and watch the hummingbirds come to the feeders. The bathrooms are very clean and in the morning you will have the most unique shower experience ever. I really enjoyed the place, it was perfect! I thank them so much for being setup and open to people like that a just traveling through.

Great little camping resort. The family takes well care of their property. The bathhouse was extremely clean. They had live music while we were there that was fabulous. Our camp site was nice and flat. The road noise was present but we already knew it would be. Next time I would book the site next to us as that site drives through ours to get to theirs.

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.
