Located perfectly between Boulder, Nederland, and Rocky Mountain National Park, and very close to other stunning hikes, this spot is a great landing pad to have easy access to some of the most beautiful places in the Rockies as well as offering it's own breathtaking scenery. This land is the sacred land of the Arapaho tribe. Chief Niwot and his tribe spent winters here. It is a very special place. The property is a mile long so there is plenty of space with the tent sites being 1/2 mile from the yurt and separate entries for each. There are currently 3 tents sites available, a bell tent, and a yurt. Please read the entire description for your specific site before booking.

Our second annual father/son camping trip was a huge success. We had the whole property to ourselves. Each year our favorite part is exploring the boulders at the top of the property. The dozen or so turkeys that wandered through the property was the icing on the cake!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Paradise
Shawn did a great job making sure we were fully prepared for our time at the Yurt. Falling asleep to the sounds of the creek couldn’t be beat. A great way to spend our nights after fall hiking in the area.

EXACTLY what we were looking for. So peaceful, quiet, and absolutely beautiful and clean. Weather was a little iffy while we were there. We were at campsite #4 - highly recommend. You can’t see any other campsites, there’s a trail with some beautiful scenery at the end, and you have soooo much space for all of your stuff! Read the instructions on how to get there three times over. It’s a little confusing, and the terrain is rough so I would make sure to bring some type of 4 wheel drive. We took my husbands truck, but my sedan wouldn’t have made it.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Paradise
My partner and I had a wonderful time during our two night stay. The ger is magical. Lots of space inside. The indoor wood-stove was so nice to use when it got a little chilly at night.
We loved how much respect Shawn has for the ger and the land. This is a really beautiful spot.

Such an easy drive from the Boulder area, yet felt like I was really getting away. The property was private with space to wander, including a interesting rock outcrop area. The sites are nicely spaced out and each had a nice fire ring and picnic table. My pup enjoyed it as much as I did!

We just LOVE this place! Easy to get to from Highlands Ranch, but you feel like you’re in the middle of the mountains! The road to get there does require some good tires, but definitely doable with an off-road RV. I love the fact that this place donates all of the proceeds! The rock outcroppings are beautiful and fun to go sit on and look at the beautiful views.

We were seeking a spot for a family camping trip over Labor Day weekend. This campground checked off every box on our list. The campsite was easy to find and close to home. We loved the trees and large rocks – gave us something fun to explore. The site was quiet… there were other campers at the campground, yet they didn’t impact our experience. There’s a flock of wild turkeys that roamed the campground… this was highly entertaining to our dogs! I would recommend the site to anyone looking for a camping retreat that doesn’t involve I-70 or 285 traffic.
