Out where the west begins… you can see it in the Pawnee National Grassland. These windswept plains have witnessed the onslaught of the frontier, the tragedy of the “Dust Bowl”, and the restoration of its wild prairies. Just a short drive from Fort Collins, the Pawnee abounds in recreation opportunities. It is known for world class birding, hiking, camping, picnicking, horseback riding, and star gazing. The landscape is a color rich palette that would make even Bob Ross blush. The trees? Super happy. So hitch the wagons, pack your gear, and roll on over to the Pawnee. For out where the west begins the sky is a little bluer… and your love for nature becomes a little truer.

Fantastic location outside Lyons and accessible to area mountains. The water flowing through the property was a key feature, the pooled waterfall areas were ideal for swimming. Our dog was in heaven. Very impressive what Dot and Byron have done with the different types of camping on the property. Hosts were friendly and super helpful.

Simple, lovely experience. Our teardrop trailer tucked into its space next to the two horses and the chicken barn, our 8-year-old fed carrots and chickens to Richard and Fred (he renamed his equine friends), and we were 10 minutes from the parkour gym where he was competing. Our spot was spacious, our host gracious, the nearby traffic noticeable but muffled and screened, and we relaxed and slept well at our Fort Collins base camp.

You can sign up for public time up to six people for free or for $40 rent it privately. Great view of the river from the sauna and a perfect temp. Bluegrass Music night on the patio was nice and ended early enough for quiet time at night. Would def stay there again when visiting Boulder!

Vicki was extremely nice, she welcomed us immediately and made us feel at home, offering for us to come in and join a Kentucky derby watch party that they were having. The spot was clean and well maintained, and the horses and dogs were cute. They were very accommodating with our circumstances, I had to go to sleep and wake up extremely early to run a marathon the next day and she turned the lights off early and was quiet to let us sleep. 5 stars!
