This is a warm and welcoming hostel in a motel setting. Great communal spaces. Happy, friendly staff and guests. What's not to love? For Van Campers, there are a few small spaces that can be a tight fit to squeeze into if you're over 20' long.

A small, private campground. Dan, our host, was awesome! My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay, there. It was extremely peaceful and rejuvinating. several deer stopped by our rv, hoping for snacks. Yes, yes, I know.. "Don't feed the wild animals." Mrs. doe did receive a handful of grapes, whilst Mr. Buck stood there, supervising. We were also visited by a fox. A mother bear w/cubs performed a late nigh,, on-camera cameo at the back of the campground. 2 or 3 rv sites, a couple of tent areas, and 2 cabins, snuggled up, at the bottom of the mountain. Sweet.

Weekend Trip to Peaceville (Lodging & Tent/RV Site)

BEAUTIFUL property with two campsites nestled in a large aspen grove in a "dark sky" area of Colorado. Amy and John were so welcoming and kind and communication was great! The campsites feel very private and remote, while still being accessible to activities and a few businesses. The Aspen site feels more shaded and woodsy, while Boyscout is more open with nice views. It was great to have the whole camping space to ourselves along with the safe house option a short hike away for food storage, indoor plumbing, WiFi, and escape from the rain :) Wish we could have stayed longer!

The place, itself is well set up and clean—organized and colorful. Lots of sketchy folks walking Nevada Ave (all the time…) and in the area, but Rad was great. Communal locations were cozy and welcoming. Great price and activities. I’d recommend it—they put a lot of work into the place and it shows

To the north of the city, Golden Gate Canyon State Park offers campgrounds, cabins, and yurts, while St. Vrain State Park offers great fishing and camping near several ponds.

Colorado Springs Area

Head south for Colorado’s second biggest city, with plenty of amenities, RV parks, and easy access to the outdoors. Hike, bike, or drive to the summit of Pikes Peak, one of the most visited mountains in the region. Explore the towering red sandstone formations of Garden of the Gods. Soak up and drink the mineral waters of Manitou Springs or head to the “City Above the Clouds” of Woodland Springs. Play and camp with your tent or RV at nearby Mueller State Park or stay at a private campground or RV park.

Forests and Mountains

Just west of Castle Rock, Pike National Forest offers a vast wilderness for outdoor recreation and camping. The Lost Creek Wilderness is a hidden gem for hikers, climbers, and anglers. Further north, the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests offer more than a million acres to explore and numerous camping options. Hop on the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway to enjoy vast vistas and camp in the Indian Peaks wilderness along the way.
