We are so fortunate to have the little slice of heaven that we have built our creek side mushroom, veggie and flower farm. We are building a labor of love and would love to have like minded folks joining our community by staying in Red Stripe Rhonda on the creek or our cabin on the cliff- The Little B. The 1950's Bellwood trailer could not be more charming with wood paneling, 1950's styling and positioned right overlooking the bridge on the creek. The outdoor heated shower has a view of the creek and a dry toilet. There are several seating areas capturing quaint vignettes of the farm fields, stunning views and produce. The Little B cabin boasts stunning views, terraced gardens, a hammock grove and a cozy loft. Feel free to look at our on farm events to learn, make and shop local here!

I live in a safe, quiet area between the city and the mountains (15min either way) with a nice big driveway to park your rig w/electric & WiFi. I loved the nomad life on the road for 2 years before settling here so I know how hard it is to find accessible, affordable, remote work friendly spots in Denver. The backyard is fenced in so if you have dogs that are fine with other dogs, they are welcome to play out there with my pups. Happy to give you recs on the city, hikes, let me know what you need ❤️

Camp for a Cause. Glamp to Give Back.
Every stay supports rescued horses and the healing they offer.
Unplug under the stars. Reconnect with purpose. Rest in gratitude.
Whether you’re bringing your RV, pitching your own tent, or staying in one of our cozy glamping tents, your stay helps make a difference.
Raison d’être Ranch—French for “reason to be”—is more than just a name. It’s our mission, our heartbeat, and our why. Here on 120 peaceful acres, we’ve created a sanctuary for over 95 rescued horses, along with santuaried cows, goats, and a myriad of wildlife who call this sacred land home. From deer, pronghorn, and porcupine to coyotes, bald eagles, waterfowl, hawks, meadowlarks, mourning doves, and more—we honor all life here.
Every night you spend here supports the lifelong care of our animals and the equine-partnered wellness programs that help people heal through their connection with these sentient beings.
Dry camping. Tent camping. Glamping.
Choose your style—and know that wherever you sleep, you’re standing for something bigger.
While planning your stay, don’t forget to check out our special add-ons and romance packages!
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a proposal, or simply want to create a ‘just because’ moment, we offer picnic setups, romantic touches, and more to make your time here magical.
Want to go even deeper? Book one of our unique experiences—like meeting the herd, hearing their rescue stories, walking or grooming a horse, or participating in a private equine-partnered wellness session. We encourage you to book in advance to ensure availability.
This isn’t just a stay—it’s a sanctuary experience.
Camp with purpose. Glamp with gratitude. And give back to what matters.

Our standard check-in window is between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
Arrivals between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM may be accommodated with prior notice and are subject to a $10 late check-in fee.

My second time at Site 9 and once again it was very peaceful. My only regret is that I didn’t try site 8 or 10 to change it up and that I didn’t try some of the frisbee golf they have close to my site. I will return this summer and try to stay more days.

Apollo Ranch was peaceful, beautiful, clean, and relaxing. I enjoyed my visit. The hosts were kind and it was easy to find. Several gas stations were close by but you still get that country feeling. There is a nice area to walk and stretch your legs. There are solar lights to guide you at night. The porta potties are well-maintained. There is a place to dispose of your trash. There were multiple shelters with chairs to kick back and enjoy the fresh air. I hope to visit again.

A very peaceful getaway so close to Longmont and Boulder. The birding was excellent. A pair of owls serenaded us in the morning and a friendly cow passed through. Bonnie greeted us and gave us all the info we could need.
Our reservation was quite complicated and the website kept messing it up. Bonnie was tireless in helping us solve the issues.

Beautiful property near many excellent hiking trails. One of the earlier reviews called the entrance a “junkyard” when it’s just antique farm equipment… you will see that on ranches with over a 100 years of history. The host meets you outside their home to give you the map and then you pass through a gate to all the pastures with campsites. It was very private and absolutely beautiful. Will definitely be here again.
