Incredible site! I arranged a proposal on this location and it was perfect. The view is stunning the pictures don’t do it justice. Highly recommend. Jason is also a great host.

Beautiful Mountain Views off the back of a private farmstead.
Owners live on site close to campsite but we still felt fairly secluded off to the side of their horse paddock.

Jason stopped by to say hello and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. The spot was perfect! Amazing views, easy to get to, and plenty of space to spread out.

Super unique spot! The views looking out our tent door were amazing! The kids nonstop explored and searched for wild raspberries. Definitely would recommend!

The view is magnificent, and it is what you are paying for. The host responds to questions quickly. I will caution as the site requires maneuvering 2 very tight hairpin switch backs to get to. I was pulling an off road pop up trailer with a tundra and had to get creative to make it up. Although page lists 30 ft vehicle, i would not attempt in one unless I was incredibly skilled at driving it.

The view was absolutely stunning and it felt private. The land was somewhat rocky so there were limited places for the tent. There was a fire pit, some chairs, and a trash can. Overall, we enjoyed it but I think it is a little overpriced for what you're getting. We would happily come back but not for $200/night.
We also had a somewhat difficult time finding the place. Google directed us to a spot that was too early on the road. You need to go past Schaffer Ranch and then continue until you see the signs for Vista Point on your right hand side (it's a decent amount farther from Schaffer Ranch). Jason was responsive to our lost messages!

Staying at Mountain View offered a wholly different experience from your average campsite. It offered the beauty of the animals - horses, dogs, chickens - all that you find on a working ranch. It offers, if you choose, the chance to observe and appreciate the morning routines of a life with animals, the feeding and tending, the necessary care. All through the comfort of your space. We sat under the trees enjoying the sun setting beyond the pastures. Pretty idyllic and unique.
We did have a one off experience. As we turned into the driveway of the property with our trailer another vehicle was coming towards us. It was a black truck with a young driver who didn’t realize she could back up and let us pass. Instead she drove off the driveway, over the lawn and around us. This, we understood, caused a leak on the property which required a crew to work on the property for the two days we were there. They were considerate fellows except that they unplugged the power to our trailer both days which caused complications for our refrigeration. It was unfortunate as otherwise this site is highly recommendable and enjoyable.

Very peaceful spot a very short drive from downtown. The horses and dogs were lovely and we enjoyed walking around the property. We had a nice tucked in spot that felt somewhat private.

Everything went well! Jason greeted us upon arrival and asked if there was any needs-- to our surprise there is already chairs..a picnic table...and grills ready to use. He has thought of everything. Travel to the site in daylight as you can miss signs easily when up in the mountain---we towed in our 16' trailered camper and that would be the max I would trust making some of the hairpin turns going up. This site is everything. A must visit. The stars are worth it alone.

One of very few places to camp in Boulder, Co. The host is friendly and helpful. There is a great view of the mountains and it's a safe quiet place to stay. There is plenty of activity around the horses, so if you want something really private I would camp elsewhere, but we had no problem with it.

Beautiful view!! Jason gave very clear directions and was friendly! We did reach a closed gate at the base of their property that wasn't expected from the directions so don't be alarmed if a sheriff patrol gate is closed when you arrive. We just opened and closed it behind us. Very quiet other than a worker driving up to our site not knowing we were there Sat morning. Jason is building a cabin and clearing some land currently down the hill from the site. Only matters to us bc we have rescue dogs with anxiety so we intentionally sought a quiet site. Innocent mistake but did impact our morning and breakfast cooking briefly. All this said, we'd definitely recommend this site for it's location and beautiful view!
