🐝We have spent the last 11 years cultivating Bizzy Bee Farm into what you see today! Our goal is to bring our passion of land & animals to life by sharing our safe, responsible hobby farm with our neighbors, community and those passing by.
On the property, we have two irrigation ponds, dwarf dairy goats, chickens and a growing variety of pollinating plants for our bees. Walk to the nearby open space, enjoy a camp fire near the creek, collect eggs daily.
You're invited to spend time in the garden (seasonal May-Oct), cut fresh flowers (seasonal May-Oct).
Welcome to our suburban hobby farm, minutes from great dining, shopping and entertainment. Nestled in an agriculture community established in the 60's. Many of the homes in the neighborhood still farm and have hay, cows, pigs while others prefer gardening and enjoying the sights and sounds. A perfect blend of past and present. Traveling with pets? Please book using the following for off leash play time

Welcome to our charming 2-acre meadow nestled in East Boulder. Just minutes from town - near bike trails, shops and restaurants. A great pitstop on your way to or from the mountains - or base camp for the adventures in Front Range. We aren't fancy, but we are convenient, cozy and safe. Gate code will be provided 48 hours before arrival.
We have spots in the wide open meadow for Tents, Motorhomes, Vans, Trailers, and Rooftop setups. The grounds are a bit sloped but we've got leveling boards (please leave them behind).
We've got Boulder's best eggs, a few walking paths through tall wild grasses, a campfire ring, solar shower, small sink, gas grill, and a lovely porta-jon that’s cleaned weekly.
We can handle RVs up to 45 feet - truck and trailer. It’s a big field, but a narrow, winding and steep gravel ramp to get in and out.
We have a community fire pit with free burn wood, though the big logs are few and far between; your own firewood is recommended - as well as an ax or saw. If it's windy, please skip the fire... the BFD is very strict about this!!
We have well water feeding a solar shower (only hot when the sun shines) and sink (non potable unless you have a filter).
We have a wading / dog pool continually refreshed from the creek. It’s a saving grace in the summertime.
Please help yourself to eggs up at the coop - look for the Venmo QR. The chickens free range during the day, so please MIND YOUR DOG.
THE GOOD:
*Easy in and out location close to town
*Lots of sun
*Outdoor solar shower
*Cold creek water plunge pool
*Fresh eggs
*Good view of small airplanes
*Community fire pit
*Gas grill
THE BAD:
*Daytime road noise
*Small airport nearby
*No Generators - no exceptions
*Almost zero shade
*Shower only hot when the sun shines
*Pool is fed from a creek
*Good Morning Rooster
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Safe travels!
Sincerely,
Brooke and Patrick

We have a BRAND NEW barrel sauna, hot tub, grills, seasonal pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day), meeting space, outdoor beer garden, bathrooms and showers for campers and a wonderful trail to Betasso Preserve right from your campsite. The Fourmile Creek runs through our property along our large lawn area. Great views and you might see bear, deer, elk, moose, foxes, or even a mountain lion!
Walk-in sites are just a short hike, about 100 feet, on an unmanicured trail to our platforms. We provide the platform for your tent as well as access to all of our lodge's amenities; front desk, lobby, bar & beer garden, fire pits, grills, bathrooms, shower, outdoor common areas, free wifi, etc.

Our guests love us too! Check out what a fellow camper had to say:
"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 are so fortunate to have the little slice of heaven that we have built our creek side mushroom, veggie and flower farm. We are building a labor of love and would love to have like minded folks joining our community by staying in Red Stripe Rhonda on the creek or our cabin on the cliff- The Little B. The 1950's Bellwood trailer could not be more charming with wood paneling, 1950's styling and positioned right overlooking the bridge on the creek. The outdoor heated shower has a view of the creek and a dry toilet. There are several seating areas capturing quaint vignettes of the farm fields, stunning views and produce. The Little B cabin boasts stunning views, terraced gardens, a hammock grove and a cozy loft. Feel free to look at our on farm events to learn, make and shop local here!

We had such an amazing stay. The site we stayed at was above and beyond our expectations! Not only did my kids get to explore close to camp but also they had things set up for the kids to do. We really enjoyed being outdoors without the hassle of setting up our own tent and camp site. The outdoor kitchen was my favorite and of course we loved the outdoor shower. We are already palling our next trip we really really enjoyed it.

Just finished my 2 night stay at Blue Bear. Upon driving up to the site the first thing we were struck with was a gorgeous mountain view. The site contains the converted shed with a loft bed, couch, wooden burning stove, mini fridge, microwave, wifi (starlink) and nice comfortable cabin decor. Outside the cabin was a table with 4 chairs covered by a retractable shade, an outdoor wood burning stove and a propane grill. The propane grill was a great touch especially with the current fire ban. Behind the cabin is a cold shower and an outhouse. Taking a cold shower in the early afternoon after a long hike felt amazing. There is a trail that leads behind the cabin that leads directly into the National Forest for exploring and wandering. My husband and I visited for our anniversary with our 2 dogs. The place was the perfect size for us and provided a romantic atmosphere. We were very impressed with all the small extras like the basket of extra water bottles and snack bars, paper plates and plasticware, lighters, hand sanitizer (in the outhouse and in the cabin), paper towels, and cleaning supplies. The location is in the back of a gated private property down a dirt road, which provided lots of privacy. For a dirt road it would be manageable for most cars, but I would suspect visitors in the winter would need chains and 4 wheel drive. Between the location, cabin, and amenities everything was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I feel lucky to have stayed at Dot and Byron’s property. From the second you turn off the highway, you can tell this place is special. They have thought of everything you could possibly need and despite being outdoors, the tent/kitchen/porta potty was cleaner than any hotel I’ve stay at. My husband and I haven’t felt this relaxed in years. We cannot wait to come back next year.

Honestly, I am so tempted to not write a review cause I want to keep this secret so I can go whenever I want and not have it get popular. However I can’t lie even by omission. This was the best set up I have ever been in. The tent is great. The kitchen set up is fabulous. The area is great. There are lots of lovely seating areas. The patio/eating area is lovely. The shower has amazing water pressure and it was so nice to come “home” and shower after a hike. I cannot over state how relaxing and lovey this stay was. There’s a little road noise from being in a canyon and the port-a-potty is shared with another site but that in no way reduces the enjoyment of the location. Dot is lovely and responsive. I am literally planning on going back again this year.
