The YURT at Screwball Ranch sits on its own private 80 wooded acres only 20 minutes away from the western Colorado town of Cedaredge - Gateway to Grand Mesa. The YURT will comfortably sleep 4 - 6 guests and there's room for several tents within the fenced compound that includes The YURT, parking, corrals, & fire pit. You're within an hours drive of Grand Mesa (300+ lakes on the world's largest flat top mountain) The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and many, many other monuments and points of interest. Gold Medal fishing in the Gunnison River, North Fork of the Gunnison can keep you away from challenging golf courses in both Cedaredge and Delta (Devil's Thumb Golf Course.)A beautiful view across Cactus Park to the West Elks Mountain Range is the perfect setting for that evening cocktail or wine. Other than the occasional deer or elk walking by, a distant Coyote howl or Owl hoot - the silence can be almost deafening. We love pets - all pets. A little over 2 acres surrounding the YURT, Fire Pit, Corrals, Loafing Shed, and parking area is surrounded by a pet secure fence that allows guests to turn pets (children, guests) loose without fear they will get lost or bother any of the neighbor's livestock, Just close the gate after you enter the YURT area.Part of Cedar Mesa - northeast of the town of Cedaredge, The YURT at Screwball Ranch is maintained by it's owners as a base camp for their own big game hunting each fall.

We invite you to stay at Horse Mountain Hideaway, a big rig friendly HipCamp located just one mile from beautiful downtown Palisade, CO, at the very east end of East Orchard Mesa. We live off grid on 10 acres, and you can enjoy the views looking down towards the valley, or up towards the Grand Mesa. As avid RVers ourselves, we wanted to offer self-contained BIG RIG friendly sites, out in the country, with very little road traffic and fabulous dark night skies to enjoy the stars.
We are just half a mile to Talbott’s Farm Store / Talbott’s Tap Room. They often have live music events and food trucks on weekends, and you can enjoy a lovely walk or bicycle ride there. There are numerous fruit stands and wineries to the west on East Orchard Mesa, or go down to Palisade and enjoy the many events, farm stands, breweries, wineries and charming downtown area.
Our site is a level, well graveled area, and is BIG RIG friendly! Back-in, with room for slide outs and back decks too. Our lane is a maintained private gravel road. This is a boondocking site, for self-contained RVs, with no hookups available.
We can also accommodate travelers with horses for an additional fee, with corrals and a paddock to rest or exercise your animals. We are close to public BLM land should you choose to take a longer ride. The site is Pet friendly, but since we do have a small farm, we request that pets are leashed.

We enjoyed our stay at Riverwood RV Park slot (#3) backed up close to the river with shade & spot was spacious fitting our 45ft toy hauler. The camp was nicely maintained and very quiet. Would stay again when back through the area.

We loved camping on Debbie’s land! It was very private and quiet with absolutely beautiful views. We were close enough to town to ride our e-bikes to the orchards and wineries for live music and an evening out! Debbie was accommodating and super friendly! We will definitely stay again!!

It’s an okay spot. It’s in an RV park that has clean bathrooms and coin laundry. It’s not really a camping spot but it worked for us since we were just passing through.
