My husband and I bought this property in 2010 after selling our beach house in California. We have adapted to mountain life with the change of seasons and so much wildlife here in Colorado. I even had a close encounter with a bear! It was about twelve feet away from me; we looked at one another and I said, "Oh, hello." After several seconds it simply turned around and walked away. I was surprisingly calm and so was the bear. We frequently have deer and elk visiting our property along with squirrels and chipmunks. We especially enjoy the hummingbirds that show up in May. I created a garden with their favorite flowers so they have their own little sanctuary here. We have a seven-year-old chocolate lab names Yogi who loves people and friendly dogs. He loves to go on hikes and swim in lakes.

I loved tent camping on Olliander’s land! It was quiet and peaceful, with a beautiful and unique home. The drive there and the drive out was a scenic experience through the mountains, which was a great addition. The chickens and rooster may wake you up in the morning, which was a benefit for me! They were cute and pretty friendly, Would highly recommend!

Great spot, very private. Beautiful spot by the river. Off the highway, so some traffic noise, but didn't bother me at all. Very clear directions, zero issues with my stay. Looking forward to returning!

the campsite was exactly as described and we loved the location! only a 15 min drive from the Mish, the portopotty was very clean, and the river was very close to our spot. I would definitely stay here again in the future!

Fly away campsite was great! Beautiful area down by the water. Camp site was super easy to find. Has a fire pit and picnic table which was so nice to have. Close to the road but it’s not busy and the river sound covers most of the noise. Would definitely come back!

With the provided instructions the location was easy to find, and absolutely gorgeous! Multiple trails within a 10 minute drive and the sounds of the river were beyond peaceful to fall asleep to. The available portapotty was quite literally the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Overall, favorite spot I stayed out of a 13 day stretch in Colorado!

So.... First off. Putting low stars beacuse of mosquitoes, for me is ridiculous... Ok now... this place is absolutely amazing.... I have stayed 4 or 5 times now. Its VERY isolated and PRIVET! River runs right by you. Yes bugs and mosquitoes, BUT not all the time. Just stayed 4 days and it was fine... If you want to be close to nature, look no further. Calm. Gas station about 3 miles away. Iv gone with my electric scooter. Clean. Trash avaliable. Portapotry. No electricity. No water. In between hills BUT still get PLENTY of sun. I LOVE this place, I cant say it enough... Thanks again.

My boyfriend and I picked this spot while in town for a concert at the Mishawaka Theater, and we were so glad we did. The location was beautiful—right by the water with amazing views—and it felt private and peaceful. We didn’t have cell service, but honestly, that was a bonus. It gave us a chance to unplug and really enjoy each other’s company. The site was easy to find, and while there were some mosquitos (as expected), they weren’t a problem at all with a little bug spray and a Thermacell—we didn’t end up with any bites. You can hear some cars in the distance, but the sound never overpowered the peaceful setting. All in all, the combination of the scenery, privacy, and convenience made it such a great stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Gorgeous spot conveniently located right on the Poudre River. Plenty of room for a large tent, fire and picnic table. Can be a little loud being in a valley right on the highway but you can't beat the water access and convenience of getting there. Will definitely be back.

Olliander’s space was perfect for a quiet, peaceful weekend tent camping spot. They were very easy to communicate with, greeted me upon arrival, and lovely to chat with. The space is well shaded and also has a large open clearing, has parking within 100’ of where I set up my tent, and is within 10 minutes of downtown Nederland and TONS of hiking trails. I would highly recommend a stay at Olliander’s (and the fresh eggs from their chickens).

We had two very curious deer visit across the river one morning

We overall enjoyed our stay at Castaway. Our favorite aspect of the site is the ample and easy access to the river. I will caution any light sleepers, the tent pad is just yards away from Poudre Canyon Rd, which we discovered is heavily trafficked well into the early hours of the morning. We almost didn’t stay our second night because of this. Also, the site description says there are 4 lawn chairs. There was only one and it is broken, so bring your own folding chairs.

Tucked away private campground right on the water; great view. The site was a great size, we’d love to come back with our kids! Only potential downfall was the proximity to the main road, you could hear/see the lights from cars driving by, but that’s not something we personally minded. Right outside Ft Collins, 25 minutes to Loveland, and an hour to Estes/Rocky Mountain National!

Olliander’s property was cute and close to town! We were able to fit our camper van at the top of the driveway (near the house number on the tree). The chickens and kitty were a plus!
