Great tent pad, surrounded by brush. Had a fire pit, a bear box, picnic table and water that made for a great site!

We loved staying at Jodi's HipCamp! The location was just as pictured and provided full hookups. Our little dogs loved running leash free - a perk we always value! And the hosts were easy to communicate with, friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!

We were extremely thrilled to revisit Will and Jake and their campsite. As always the campsite was clean, inviting, and well maintained. Jake cooked for us again and the gourmet burgers did not disappoint. As the last campers of the season, we were pleased to relax in a pine tree haven. So glad to make new friends and we will be back next year! Highly recommended-10/10! Thank you!

Madeline's property was so tranquil and just a short drive into town. With views of Pikes Peak and plenty of space to spread out. We discovered we were a bit larger than the recommended RV length, but Madeline and her Mom were so accommodating! The property is peaceful and we could let our dogs off leash, which is a plus. Especially for our furry full-time travelers to stretch their legs. I would highly recommend a stay here!

1 night at Candyland Camper

We had such a wonderful stay! The host, Marni, was incredibly kind and welcoming which made us feel right at home. The camper was clean, comfortable, and really adorable. It is whimsical with bright colors and a happy mood. I really love that the camper has running water, a bathroom with shower, fridge, and heat! The nights were getting cool during our stay and the heat made us so comfortable. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. With pretty views, and the added joy of seeing horses, goats, and alpacas right on site. It was peaceful, fun, and such a unique experience to be surrounded by the animals. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a special camping trip! Thanks so much!

Weekend Trip to Camp Kan-Ne-Ga (Ute for "home")

Doggie and I loved camping with the Jansmas. They were there to greet us coming in, and the tent and equipment were perfection. Extra bedding, lotion, candles, a solar shower and privvy, all were luxury. The dog so enjoyed being off leash all weekend. The highlight of our stay was the birthday dinner that Jake cooked on the final night, with a special creme brulee for dessert complete with candle. The coyotes (and the highway traffic) were a bit closer than I had realized they would be at times, but the rest of the time was quiet and beautiful. If you come, make sure to stop at Costello's Coffee House. We will be back!

We had a great time at this cozy spot! A great place for our baby’s fist camping trip, and having his son Jake cook dinner was even better. Tent was so clean and everything provided was just as clean and useful. Thanks for providing such an easy way for us city folk to escape to nature for a night! Can’t wait to return

1 night at Camp Kan-Ne-Ga (Ute for "home")

What a wonderful experience. We spent my partner’s birthday out in nature after an exhausting summer and Will went above and beyond with this site. It comes with all your camping basics (chairs, kitchen supplies, towels, extra blankets etc) so you don’t have to worry about packing too much. Will was there to greet us with Carrie, and we’re both so kind. Will made us feel welcome at the campsite, showing us our amenities and a few walking paths. He was always within reach to answer any of our questions. We decided since it was a special occasion, to have Jake cook for us- and I am GLAD we did! The best burger I’ve had in a long time, and it’s at our campsite. He even went and made a special dessert for us, and brought out a birthday candle and everything. The stars are abundant, the views are amazing (even from the outhouse), and the energy of Camp Ka-Ne-Ga is everything we could have wanted for a peaceful mountain getaway. We’re all excited to return soon.

We loved our stay. Will was a gracious host and the campsite had everything we needed. We stayed with our 2 kids (6 and 4) and there was plenty of room for 2 cots. Even with some rain, we had a blast hiking and visiting the wolf sanctuary. We will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed staying in Will’s beautiful tent. So many cute and special details were present, not to mention every need as a camper. All you need to bring is food and drinks. Everything else is perfectly arranged. And if you do not want to cool his son will cook for you! Even in the rain we had a lovely time. The spot is well positioned for local trails, fly fishing, and the newly reopened coffee shop less than a mile away.

Amazing location. Right down the road from main Colorado springs. Very quiet location with a much needed separation from society. Used a 2WD vehicle on the appaloosa site. Definitely check ahead if the conditions would allow for easy accessibility. Thank you Madeline for the horse tour. My wife was absolutely enthralled!

We decided to spend our 16th anniversary on Will’s glamping spot and it didn’t disappoint. Surrounded by pine trees in a remote location we couldn’t ask for better and privacy. Will was a gracious host and most accommodating with the amenities. The site was built and designed with care for anyone looking to relax in a tranquil setting. We saw tons of birds, squirrels, and even deer. Also, we were delighted to have Jake cook for us on our anniversary day-he even accommodated us with surprise dessert. The food and service was spectacular! Overall, this was a great and relaxing experience and a highly recommended glamping spot. We will be back! Thank you!

Will’s not-so-little piece of land is incredible! A wonderful spot for our family and two dogs to unwind, soak up nature, stargaze, chop wood, explore, and enjoy life. We were impressed by all the amenities and it was clear no detail was left unconsidered. Will is a delightful human who is a joy to chat with. Jake’s dinner was delicious and I’d recommend that add on if it’s available for your trip here! I highly recommend this spot and I’m sure we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Little Creek

We, along with 2 friends booked all 3 RV sites at Little Creek and after night 1 we booked a second night. It was the perfect spot to camp for a few nights away from crowded camp grounds! Madeline was friendly and answered questions quickly! We did do a lap around the property first because I wasn’t sure we were in the right place but we figured it out! :)
