We moved here in 1997
The home has had major remodels done on it.
The lake is an old gravel pit to make road base for local road construction.
The buoys in the lake are scuba projects from the local college CMU, and hold lots of fish. Other nesting platforms are for our local Geese and they hatch out in April-June.
We airbnb 2 rooms in our home as a shared facility and have airbnbs in Northern Ca and Baja.
Our home is off limits for campers as we need to respect the space for our other airbnb guests.
But in an emergence please call, cell service works fine.
port-a potty is gone for the winter November-April.
port-a potty is clean and works great, May- Oct. If you are here in the winter you may use the trees or Mavericks gas station in 1.5 miles away.
The first two pets are included at no additional cost. For any additional pets beyond the first two, there is a fee of $10 per pet, per night. Please make sure to add the Pet fee extra accordingly.

Nederland, CO · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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.
The cabin sleeps up to 8 with the futon downstairs being very comfortable and 3" foam upstairs in the loft for more sleeping area. Bring your sleeping bags to stay cozy at night. There are lanterns inside to light up your night with a wood stove to keep you warm at night. The ground around it is sloped so you may have a hard time setting up any tents around the cabin.
The grocery store is in Nederland where you can buy food, Coleman green propane bottles, gallon jugs of water and wood. There is a 3 burner Coleman, stove to cook on with limited pots & pans as well as silverware.
Road disclaimer, the road to the cabin is one lane dirt road. The drive up to the cabin is pretty good but the turn onto the single dirt road to the cabin has a slight dip, if you have a low-clearance car it may bottom out when you are turning so be careful.
No Trailers. They will not be able to turn around once there.
Recommend vehicles with AWD. Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles. Park on the left. Hike down to the cabin between yellow stakes.
We are @ 10,000 feet and it is a slight hike to the cabin. Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles
When leaving please make sure both door locks are locked, put the key in the lock box and mix the code for the next camper.

"First time Hipcamper and A-Lodge visitor here, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re traveling to the Boulder area. The tent platforms were easy to get to and spaced far enough apart for privacy and generally a nice break from setting up a tent on a gravel pad. WiFi was stable throughout my visit and I was able to get some work done before heading home."

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.

Base Camp Family Campground is owned and operated by the Baker Family. Josh Baker first lived in Southern Colorado in the early 90's as a child, but his family moved away after a short time. His desire to move back here as an adult prompted him to start bringing his own family to Colorado for vacations. They purchased land in the valley in 2014 and moved to Colorado in 2020. They are using all they've learned from years of RV adventures, to continue the park's mission of providing a clean, affordable, spacious, well-run camping facility, and to be a centrally located "base camp" and hub of information for everything this unique area has to offer.
You'll be camping in the shadows of 14,000 ft. mountain peaks, in the largest high-desert alpine valley in the world, that is sprinkled with free-flowing artesian wells, hot springs and wet lands. Daily summer temperatures average 65 degrees, and it will get down into the 50's at night. That's perfect camping weather!
For native American tribes, including the Utes, Apache, Navajos, and others, this valley is considered the source of life, a place where humans and spirit enter and leave this world. The valley was considered so sacred, that no war would be waged here.
The ET Connection
As if all of the mountains, deserts, hot springs, and sacred ground weren't enough, The San Luis Valley is also known as a UFO hot spot! UFO sightings have been reported as far back as the 1600's.

Our stay was excellent, and we really enjoyed our time here. The campsite is very well equipped, which made our stay very comfortable. It had everything we needed, and we didn’t even get cold since the room had a portable heater. We loved meeting Dot and Byron! Dot welcomed us warmly, showed us around, and kindly explained how everything worked. When we left, Byron came out to say goodbye and chatted with us for a little while. The best part was being able to take a hot shower—it was such a pleasant experience! We highly recommend staying here.

Michael’s Hipcamp site sits just past his home and has a lovely view of the surrounding area. It was a bit challenging to back our rig into the spot but he was there to meet us and helped us get into place which was very appreciated! The WiFi we were allowed to use had a fairly weak signal but we were able to set up our Starlink and, even with all the trees, had good reception. The location is great—very quiet and only about 10 min from town and all the amenities. Great host!

Online presentation through HipCamp doesn't give an accurate feeling of what it's really like there. Hipcamp really underestimates how cool it actually is. It's a total college kid attraction and clientele (it SEEMS) but it's still cooler than the online presentation made it feel. It feels like a magical Ewok village for adults combined with a 1960s/70s summer camp, and the main lodge itself is a really well designed, modern-cozy-lodgy, kind of romantic feeling. We had NO idea based on the hip camp photos that it was more than a basic main house to go pee in, with some lodging SOMEwhere on the property, and some kind of dismal dislocated tent sites. It is however too expensive for the tent sites though. Considering there's no maintenance required for clean up. Their pricing should be more like $28 a night, not 40-50. We felt even Hipcamp's price was too high for the tent sites for what they are.

2 nights at Gondola Village at Holy Cross
Super cool cabin and location with a relatively easy 2-3 mile backpack to get there (my GPS said 2.65 miles). I'd totally recommend it and might be back when it's not so rainy so I can hike more. Even with clouds and fog the views down the valley were amazing. It's big enough for one or two people but it would be tight for more. It was rainy but not snowy for my trip and I got a laugh from a comment that a stock 4Runner could make it to the parking area at the bottom because, while yes a 4Runner could make it, a Volkswagon Beetle could make it too. Beyond that the road was one of the toughest I've ever seen and worth the hike just to gawk at the rocks people crawl their jeeps over. I was hiking at about the same pace as three heavily modified and lifted jeeps and even they needed winches.

1 night at Gondola Village at Holy Cross
Incredible and well worth it! We loved this experience. 100% we would come back. Highly recommend the fall / yellow aspen season for the drive up through Mintern.
The cabin had everything we needed. We brought our own water and food (backpacking meals) and sleeping bags, but if this was peak summer time, we would have settled with sleeping bag liners and used the ones provided in the cabin. Note that the shower is a bag shower so heating water via solar or on stove is required. We couldn’t get the lights to work so we plugged the light with a cord into the solar generator for our stay. We didn’t have service from after Mintern on, so we primarily used Gaia GPS maps and it worked great (download both hike and road maps).
We had no issues driving up to the 727/759 junction by taking the Missouri lakes road (super well maintained) in a 2wd car.
The hike up from the junction has some incline, so packing light is ideal. We made it up in about an 1.5 hours, but we were hustling to make it before sunset. In the morning, the hike to Cleveland lake was super fun and quick, and walking by the abandoned cabins on the way back at Holy Cross City was super cool. No wildlife seen besides some birds and pheasants. Lots of rain, but with good shoes we had no issues / slips.

Great experience, beautiful views and an awesome property. Very thoughtful host with multiple different docks around the lake with boats / kayaks at each, so you could use whatever was closest to your site. Copious amounts of wood was left for fires and a bucket to put fires out at the end of the night. Picnic tables at all sites, ours also had a bench but be careful as I got quite a few splinters from it. A bit of a walk from sites 1-3 to the porta potty, but it’s so peaceful and calm there that the walks were nice. Also was thankfully a very clean porta potty. One thing that would have been nice was a dumpster to throw trash at the end of the trip, but otherwise was a great time. Extra parking is available by the way - you just have to park by the porta potty, which was not a problem. Also note there are paddleboard yoga classes a few mornings of the week run through some local company I think - looked super cool!

We have two kids ages 4 & 6. This site was the perfect site for our family at this stage. Everything very accessible and the kids loved staying in the wagon and hanging out there during the day too when they needed downtime. They loved playing with the axe throwing and the "swingy chairs" and of course the creek/pond was a big highlight. We also did a short hike on the property and it was a little steep in places for them but they could manage it with help. Dot and Byron are super responsive and nice and we love staying with them on these glamping sites. We would love to book again next year, maybe with another family in the neighboring wagon. So much fun and a beautiful place for us to visit!
