Tin Can Camp is located within 200 acres of Colorado State Trust Land at roughly 8,000 feet above sea level. The landscape is arid high desert with scattered groves of piñon and juniper trees. The camp serves as a convenient home base for launching adventures across the San Luis Valley to various local Hot Springs, archeological sites, and other small town local attractions. For the more adventurous guests, there is recreation right from Tin Can Camp with The Valleys largest trail system and climbing area less than a mile away and access to the vast expanse of the Rio Grande National Forest.
The cabins are "micro homes" outfitted with modern conveniences. Each cabin has solar power, a propane heater, a compact kitchen with a sink, water jugs, and pump, two full size loft beds, a small table with chairs, and a covered porch. Guests should know there is no water available on the property. You will need to bring water for all your needs. This includes cooking, washing, drinking, and for putting out fires.

Tin Can Camp is adjacent to the future Sangre de Cristo Dark Sky Reserve, and the property has spectacular views of the Milky Way Galaxy. Each cabin has a fire ring for guests to relax and enjoy the dark nighttime sky. Wood collecting on the property is not permitted, so guests must bring their own firewood.

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.

This was a great little campsite! Surrounded by aspen trees, quiet, and very peaceful. We spent much of our time birdwatching and counting all the deer that walked through the neighborhood. On Friday night we walked down to the Arrowhead Lodge (about a mile from the campsite) for dinner and live music. Really wonderful spot! Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area.

Very cute tiny cabins, with all you need. It was an overnight trip only. We would have stayed a day longer, but there was a hiccup with the hipcamp reservation system. Unfortunately, due to the fires in southern Colorado you could see and smell the smoke, and we missed the beautiful scenery! Super attentive host, and very easy to communicate with. Thanks for the stay!

This location was great for being roughly halfway between Black Canyon and Crested Butte. The campsite is beautifully situated in an aspen grove and is well-leveled. When we were there, there was a picnic table, benches, firebox, and “bathroom” tent with a pump toilet and sink. There was also a roomy permanent tent with a double cot and a couple of chairs.
Unfortunately for us, there was standing water in a couple places inside the tent and one of the rugs in there was completely soaked. Thankfully the cot and chairs were dry. Definitely bring your own tent/sleeping system as a backup, just in case.
