Campgrounds, crowds, noise, generators, headlights at midnight — those are the things you leave behind when you come here.
What you’ll find instead is silence, privacy, and the feeling of having an untouched piece of Colorado completely to yourself.
This private alpine meadow sits at approximately 11,000 feet, at the base of two 14,000-foot peaks, on 160 secluded acres bordering National Forest. The camp rests in a hidden sunken meadow surrounded by ancient forest, alpine streams, and some of the oldest living bristlecone pines in the world — trees so remarkable they have appeared in Ansel Adams photography.
At night, you may hear great horned owls in the trees, coyotes calling at sunset, and sometimes moose moving quietly through the meadow. During the day, the air smells of pine, summer grass, and cold mountain water. Sit beside the stream with your feet on warm granite while the wind moves through 3,000-year-old trees overhead. It is peaceful, wild, and difficult to describe until you are here.
The site is built for guests who want to disconnect from crowds and reconnect with nature without giving up comfort. Tucked into the meadow is a cozy insulated A-frame shelter with large windows, a skylight, soft solar lighting for nighttime ambiance, a locking door, and a full-size bed. It is simple, warm, secure, and comfortable — a perfect basecamp after exploring the high country.
From the property, you have access to miles of 4x4 roads, ATV trails, hiking routes, wildlife viewing, photography, stargazing, and quiet time by the stream. Spend the day hiking alpine ridges, exploring the forest, reading on the deck, or doing nothing at all.
Amenities include a wood deck, waterproof awning, picnic table, BBQ grill, bear box, oversized stone fire pit, and simple backcountry-style toilet setup.
Altitude note: this camp is around 11,000 feet, so guests should be prepared for high-elevation conditions, cooler nights, stronger sun, and changing mountain weather.
There are also two other private Hipcamp sites on the property. [Add short sentence here naming or describing the other two sites.]
Access note: the county road was recently graded and is manageable for most vehicles when driven slowly, though normal mountain-road potholes and uneven sections remain. RVs,

Welcome to our little slice of mountain heaven! Tucked away between Aspen, Vail, and Leadville, Gondola Village is more than just a cabin—it’s a dream we’ve built at nearly 12,000 feet. We’re pretty sure it’s one of the highest-altitude retreats on the planet, making it a true bucket-list spot for anyone with an adventurous soul. When you stay here, the Holy Cross Wilderness is literally your front porch. You’ll have direct access to pristine trails, hidden alpine lakes, and peaks that feel like they belong only to you, all while being just a few hours from the hustle of Denver. It’s Colorado’s "water wilderness" at its most majestic, and we can’t wait for you to experience the magic of having world-class hiking, fly fishing, and backcountry skiing right outside your door.
We’ve poured our hearts into the design of our two cabins, the Alpine Gondola Lodge and the Lost Gondola Lodge. We wanted to celebrate the rugged history of our local mining towns while bringing in the clean, cozy vibes of Scandinavian mountain design. Every corner is filled with things we love: snuggle up with Rumpl blankets, sip your morning coffee from Miir mugs, and cook up a feast on a classic Coleman stove. We’ve even tucked in a guitar, a library of our favorite books, and a super comfy Metolius couch for those lazy afternoons. Fun fact: because our spot is so secluded that big deliveries have to come in by helicopter, we’ve hand-picked every single item to make sure your off-the-grid stay feels special and incredibly comfortable.
You might have spotted us on Discovery Channel’s Reclaimed or heard about our support from Airbnb’s OMG! Fund. We’ve spent years learning how to blend high-end design with wild beauty, and Gondola Village is the result of that passion. It’s a place we built for people who, like us, are looking for a little peace, a lot of seclusion, and a chance to really plug back into the natural world.
Part of the magic is just getting here—it’s the first chapter of your adventure! Since we’re so far off the beaten path, access is part of the fun. You can hike or bike the scenic 2.5-mile uphill trail or if you’re driving, you’ll need a serious off-road vehicle with a winch and lockers to make the climb. In winter, the approach is 11 miles of over-snow travel.

Nestled in the mountains of Leadville, Colorado, the S.L.umber Yard at FREIGHT is the perfect retreat. The property, once home to a lumber yard and freight depot, now boasts a brilliantly renovated event space, outdoor stage, and thirteen luxurious cabins. Whether you're celebrating a big milestone or just looking for a getaway, the S.L.umber Yard is the perfect place to stay. Inspired by homes built in the mining days, these modern cabins were thoughtfully crafted using recycled materials found on site. With rustic charm on the outside, and all the amenities on the inside, our cabins provide all the comfort you need. In tune with our mission to honor the stories of Leadville, we named the cabins after female sex workers who lived here. First the men came to work the mine. Then the ladies came to work on the line. These women's stories are rarely told, and so it's our honor to shine a light on them.

South Park City is an outside historic museum with 43 original furnished buildings and structures depicting an 1880s-era mining town. The buildings include a church, school, dentist/barber, doctor, coffin-maker, blacksmith, saloon, drug store, general store, homes, train engine and caboose, and other structures that portray life in an early gold mining town in the Colorado Rockies. Visitors can walk into each building, and try out the furniture, play the pianos, ring the school bell, stroll along the boardwalk, and, in the process, get a real feel for life in the Old West.

Sorry but our zoning does not allow for any camping of any sort on our property.
Come experience the Old West as it was and still is as you meander along the road through working ranches that were homesteaded back in the early 1900’s...their weathered log cabins still standing and often still occupied...others are close enough for a great “back in time” photo opportunity. As Colorado's open range law permits ranchers to graze their cattle without borders, you will often find them on the roadways or you may even get caught up in a cattle drive as the ranchers move their cattle from one pasture or paddock to another. Springtime brings all the calves and branding time! Observing the rancher, his horse, and dog working together is a genuine treat. Look along the roadside for sage grouse, in the open fields for pronghorn, down in the willows and streams for the bull moose, in the trees for the mule deer, and on top of the ridge lines for the elk. There are also bald eagle and osprey nests, alpacas, horses, sheep, and goats. All this just on the ride into Williams Fork Lodging!
Our residence sits above this scenic panorama at the end of the road and adjacent to public lands tucked beneath Copper Peak on the Williams Fork Range. The elevation is roughly 8,500 feet and the 180 degree view is breathtaking...encompassing three mountain ranges, many peaks, pastures/meadows, forest, and ponds.
Soak in everything from the glorious sunrises to enchanting full moons to brilliant stars that truly seem closer than they are…the view of the Milky Way is unobstructed by light pollution for outstanding celestial shows…and meteor showers are spectacular from the hot tub!
We live on the same property as the Lodge and are quite self sustainable: hunting, fishing, gardening, gathering wild berries, and raising our own poultry meat.
The Lodge and cabin are constructed of concrete and rock as well as high efficiency windows and takes full advantage of passive solar heat; backup heat and the hot water are provided by wood via an outside boiler maintained by us. if interested, Dale offers fresh baked caramel rolls and other enticing breads and/or meals.
Every season has its own special beauty: Spring brings abundant wild flowers, contrasting greens of pine, aspen and sage. Newborn livestock and wildlife. Thunderstorms and brilliant double rainbows. Birds singing, chickens crowing and warm, quiet evenings are welcomed in summer. Our view of the fall colors are hard to match ~ the changing yellow, gold and reds quaking in the valley are quite beautiful. Winter brings diamond-sparkling white snow untouched by humans and cobalt blue skies and picture-perfect post card and right out your

Group trip
This was a very well-stocked campsite with camp chairs, paper towels, garbage bags, and a propane fire pit available for use. Tim was a fantastic host and greeted my group upon our arrival and even assisted with bringing our gear to the site. One unexpected aspect of this campsite is that the site is up on a hill and inaccessible to cars, meaning our car could not park next to our tents for easy access to gear. This was not a problem for us, however campers with mobility issues may have trouble getting up the hill to the campsite as the only way up is to walk. I am confident Tim will continue to make improvements on the land and would gladly stay at Placer Club again in the future.

This place is absolutely amazing and beautiful! It was the perfect glamping experience — peaceful, relaxing, and surrounded by nature, but with all the little comforts and extras that made it feel easy and special.
Tim is amazing and has truly bent over backwards to make this place perfect. You can tell he has put a ton of thought and effort into every detail, and everything we needed for our camping/glamping stay was already there. It made it so easy to just show up, relax, enjoy the outdoors, sit back by the fire, and take in the whole experience.
The property is beautiful, the atmosphere is incredible, and it was exactly the kind of getaway we were looking for. We will absolutely be back. If you're looking for a great camping or glamping spot, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!

I loved tent camping at Tim’s land!
This was the first time in my life I went on camping and Tim is the best. I didn’t know how to setup my tent .. he helped us and was so sweet throughout the stay. We can clearly make out that he isn’t doing this for money. It’s his passion.
I am revisiting this place next week <3

We wanted a last minute get getaway and this place was perfect. About an hour from Golden, but far enough into the mountains that you feel like an adventurer.
Reading outside with our doggos as the sun set in the evening was the best part. The music of dogs barking and roosters crowing in the background was so much more peaceful than cars on the roads and sirens.

Tim is an amazing host! He has included very thoughtful details at each site to make the stay easy and comfy and goes above and beyond as a host. He also is knowledgeable about the area so can provide tips about hiking/biking. I stayed at site A and it was spacious and private. Would definitely stay at Tim's place again and recommend if you're looking to stay near Breckenridge/Fairplay.

Private, great views, and nice amenities to make camping more luxurious. The host was kind enough to share info about hiking and how to get the fire pit started. Grill does not get very hot, but still functional.

1 night at Williams Fork Lodging
This was such a peaceful, secluded getaway! The views were absolutely stunning, and it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. I loved starting my last morning with a hike and ending the day soaking in the hot tub while taking in the scenery. The outdoor shower was such a fun and thoughtful touch! Dale truly thought of every little detail to make the stay comfortable and special. I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet escape in nature, and I can't wait to come back!

Whispering Pines was absolutely amazing…beautiful, private, so so quiet. Everything was provided (except food, of course!) The tent was cozy and dry even after 2 rainy nights. The camp kitchen was perfect.

Amazing place. Extremely well-equipped, you won’t find a better mix of location and amenities provided. The Host was top notch and extremely receptive.
You are with miles of the best hikes, numerous 14s and 13s, fishing, FairPlay and even Breck. This is as good of a location for a comfortable base camp that you’ll ever find.
The yurt itself was clean, and perfectly loaded with everything you need, from cooking (little gas grill, cook water, utensils, propane) to water to a giant cooler, with ice packs provided.
I will definitely be returning.

Tim’s campsite is super organized and well thought out. Tim is also very friendly. I would recommend his place to others! I am a super light sleeper so the road noise did bother me a little but most people probably wouldn’t notice it.

The campsite was so well thought out, clean and comfortable. Tim thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and functional. The location was great. Remote enough to feel like a getaway but close enough to a lot of fun mountain town events and amenities. Would defiantly stay again.

We stayed for 4 nights and had everything we needed- electric, water, and sewer hook-ups, plus flush toilets and nice, clean showers just a short walk away. The location was perfect for us because we wanted to see Leadville, Twin Lakes, Independence Pass, and Buena Vista. When our plans had to change because of wildfires in our next location, we were happy that it was available for us to stay an extra night. Thanks Todd & Belinda.

This campsite was lovely, and gave the opportunity to camp in a remote location, while being within a stone’s throw of Fairplay. Directions to arrive were very clear, and we had a peaceful stay.
