We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Shimza. The cart itself is beautiful woodwork, and made for a comfortable nest. The kitchen, similarly handcrafted, had everything we needed and nothing we didn't! And how amazing to have a hot shower available when camping. Everything seemed fresh and clean. Very pretty property and we greatly enjoyed floating on the creek as well. Will definitely return.

Great place, great people. Accommodations were as advertised. Would go back. Road noise exists, it didn’t really trouble me personally and this place is on the way to RMNP (15 minutes to Wild Basin entrance) so it gets some traffic. But that means YOU have easy access to the park. Dot and Byron are friendly and helpful and have made this camp comfortable AND sustainable. Saint Vrain canyon in the Roosevelt National Forests is itself beautiful and this camp is situated right in it. Enjoy being outside!

Easy access to the camping areas and near the main road while still having the feel of being deeper into the forest. All you need to bring is your food and clothes.

Great place. Dot welcomed us and showed us around, even though I was 4 hours for check in.
Dot was a great host, gave us local insights.
The gypsy trailers are unique, my two daughters (7 & 9) and I slept in the Gypsy wagon, it was great, they love it.
Each day we took a dip in the creek. It’s not a big swimming hole, up to your waist, but as far as Colorado goes it’s pretty darn good, a bit silty, but it’s your own swimming hole! That’s fantastic.
Would totally recommend, it’s a short drive from Denver, but you feel like you’re out there camping. And it literally has everything you need, so it’s an easy weekend get away .
Cheers

I was so impressed with the entire set up. The outdoor kitchen and wagon for sleeping made camping easy. As a bonus there was a small hike and pond on the property. The wagon was spotless inside for sleeping.

Group trip
We came all the way from Chicago and it was well worth the drive! The amenities were amazing, especially considering we were all the way in the middle of a canyon! We still had AC plugs, hot water for the shower, a working kitchen sink and two burner stove. Beautiful views, the sounds of the creek, and the birds were so calming. The campers were so comfy, we slept better than we did in the hotels on the way there. Swimming in the swimming holes during the day was so fun and kept us nice and cool. We would 1000% stay here again.

2 nights at Rocky Mountain Glamping
This was absolutely my FAVORITE place I’ve ever camped, and I’ve camped in a lot of places!!!
All aspects of the land, the facilities and the wagons were so meticulously thought out and maintained. You could feel the labor and love Dot and Byron put into building this sanctuary.
The only thing that was wrong was that I had to leave!! I’ve told everybody who asked about my trip that visiting Bliss Camp is a MUST! I can’t wait to return!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came up to celebrate my husband’s birthday and Father’s Day over the weekend and can’t say enough good things about this place . Dot made sure that we were well taken care of when we first arrived . We stayed in the Shimza shepherds hut and the bed was very comfortable. I want to come back every year - this place was amazing

3 nights at Glacier Getaway Bunkhouse and Lot
I love this place! Absolutely peaceful and all to yourself. The place is spacious and has comfy bed. Although I hit my head 😆. My favorite spot was the secluded swing, drinking morning tea and basking in the sun and stars was highlights of my trip. The place has little needed essentials such as gas grill with propane, paper towels and cleaning supplies. Although place doesn’t have water, we bought our portable sink. The portable toilet on site was clean. Oh yea, the place has these big windows right in the front with another beautiful view. The kitchen set for 2 sits right in front of window. Although not best weather we still hiked the trail right behind the house. I can say more but Anyone should not second guess on this place. We definitely coming back!

We (me, my partner and our three young kids) came out for a rainy Memorial Day weekend and couldn't have been cozier and happier in the covered wagon and teardrop trailer at night. The property is stunning and Dot is a fantastic host who has thought of everything. We had a lovely hike on the property, played in the creek, and enjoyed the hammocks, swing chairs and propane fire pit when it wasn't too wet out. There's lots to do nearby in Lyons (library, pinball arcade), Longmont and Boulder if the weather gets bad. I wouldn't hesitate to book another covered wagon or a canvas tent again.

We had a wonderful time at Dot and Byron's campsite. The beauty of the location and amenities made for a restful and fun weekend with friends. The accommodations were very cozy and we had a wonderful time sitting around the fire, cooking, and enjoying the quiet bliss of the Bliss Camp. Dot and Byron were great hosts, they were attentive and have made a little piece of heaven that they so kindly share. I can't recommend this spot enough for a relaxing getaway. Can't wait to come back sometime soon.

This was a perfect location for our trip! There was so much space and it felt so secluded even though the main house is fairly close by. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and the bathroom is close by. Absolutely recommend!

Head west to tackle the 14,270-foot Mt. Evans by driving the highest paved road in Colorado, then hiking to the summit. Camp at the base with your tent or RV at Echo Lake Campground in Arapaho National Forest, pitch your tent in the Mt. Evans Wilderness Area, or camp at the Camp Rock Campground. Explore the historic town of Georgetown, then drive the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, with numerous trails and camping options on the way to Grant. North of Georgetown, the Arapaho and Roosevelt national forests offer more than a million acres of wilderness for outdoor recreation and camping.
Denver
Colorado’s largest city and capital is just 30 minutes east and offers a wealth of urban adventure, while several area state parks pack in outdoor recreation and camping opportunities. Enjoy a reservoir, rolling hills, and campgrounds with amenities at Chatfield State Park or Cherry Creek State Park. Or head to Morrison to catch a movie or show at Red Rocks Park Amphitheatre and stay at a full service campground at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood.
Golden Gate Canyon and Rocky Mountain National Park
Head north to Golden Gate Canyon State Park to go off the grid and camp or glamp in a tent, RV, cabin, or yurt. Or hop on the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway from Central City past Nederland to Estes Park, where you can choose from numerous campgrounds along the byway and RV parks just outside town. For vast mountain landscapes and alpine lakes, continue on to Rocky Mountain National Park, home to several seasonal campgrounds and plenty of backcountry sites.
When to go
Evergreen is most popular in summer and winter. Boat rentals and public concerts are available on Evergreen Lake from May to September, while the popular Annual Dam Duck Derby is held in August. The Mt. Evans Byway is open in summer, while Mt. Evans State Wildlife Area is open from June to December. Ice skating and ice fishing are popular on Evergreen Lake once it freezes over.
