48mi from Johnstown · 15 sites · Tents, RVs · Tie Siding, WY

Welcome to Camp Rendezvouz! We are in Wyoming, on Highway 287 between Fort Collins, CO. and Laramie, WY. When you book, make sure you are committed as we have a strict cancellation policy. We are making this campground more for families and family reunions, or friends that want to be together yet have your own space. It’s high with trees and rocks, beautiful views and amazing starry nights. Camp sites 1 2 3 4 are fairly close together for a family or to circle the wagons. Very nice close hike to a creek. Camp site's 5 and 6 are secluded. They would be best for someone who is self contained, as they don’t have an outhouse nearby. Sites 7 8 9 have some seclusion. Site's 10 11 12 13 14 15 are perfect for families, where you can all be together but separate. We are a work in progress but we will try to accommodate anything you may need. Please talk to us! We have firewood $7.00 per bag delivered to your campsite. Do not bring your own firewood. We don’t want more pine beetles and noxious weeds. More than 2 vehicles per site $10.00 per vehicle per night. A vehicle pulling a trailer counts as 1. A motor home pulling a car or trailer counts as 1. We look forward to hosting you!

Gated-entry 5-acre property featuring a 50-foot asphalt pad with water and 50/30/20-amp electrical hookups. The RV site accommodates rigs up to 38 feet, and additional tent sites welcome smaller RVs, camper vans, fifth wheels, and traditional tent campers. Enjoy an easy pull-through setup, wide-open country vibes, and beautiful views of Pikes Peak. Despite the privacy, you’re only 35 minutes from downtown Denver, 5 minutes off I-70, 28 minutes from Denver International Airport, and 20 minutes from Aurora Reservoir. Groceries, fuel, and local diners are just 5 minutes away. With minimal light pollution, this is a great spot for stargazing. Dogs are welcome, and an off-leash area is provided. Dry/split firewood is available for purchase at $10 per tote. Let me know if you’d like a more descriptive version that feels outdoorsy and adventurous—or a more concise, listing-style version!

5. Vista Tranquila - Boulder Glamping

(125)

31mi from Johnstown · 5 sites · RVs, Lodging · Boulder, CO

Our family has resided on this magnificent property for over 20 years. In the 1950s, before the home was built, our land was known as "the point." Lovers used to drive onto the property, park at the end of the lot which overlooks the eastern plains, and... you know... We live on 6.5 acres of stunning forested land located 1000 feet above downtown Boulder. Our property rests on a peninsula with views of the white-capped peaks to the west and the city lights to the east. The property feels far away from the bustle of city life, yet it is only an EIGHT-MINUTE drive to the heart of downtown Boulder's historic shopping district and ten minutes from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Vista Tranquila, the name given to our property by its previous owners, has trails to meander, picnic tables, horseshoes, swings hanging from the trees, a competitive-level trampoline, benches with views, and hammocks. The communal food prep area has a gas grill, a table for food prep, and a seating area. We request that guests pack out all trash. Since we do not provide stoves, pans, utensils, or cleanup facilities, please bring paper towels to wipe off your stoves, pans, dishes, and utensils. A well-maintained portable flush toilet is provided in a tall tent near the main residence. A spigot can be found with fresh well water on the back side of the main residence. We do not offer showers. However, the Boulder Recreation Center (a 10-minute drive) offers showers and other facilities for a small fee. You can enjoy a historic mining town experience with fine dining and live bluegrass/ folk music at the town of Gold Hill which is less than 20 minutes up our canyon. Kayakers, climbers, hikers, and cyclists (mountain, road, and gravel) will have an outdoor playground within a very short drive or right outside our door. World-class climbing located at Eldorado Canyon State Park is only a 25-minute drive. If you seek bigger peaks beyond Boulder Mountain Parks, the Indian Peaks Wilderness and Rocky Mountain National Park are a gorgeous 45-minute drive.

Such a beautiful place! Serenity was the perfect name. Bonnie was kind enough to come out to make sure we found the place even though we got in late. It was quiet with a lovely view of the mountains. The best part was getting woken up by the cow moo’s in the morning! Haha

Great host and some pretty killer views! Andy has worked hard at providing a lot for his guests. Outdoor furniture and shade canopies for tent campers and RVers too. We were headed west and wanted a one night stay near Denver. Worked out perfectly for us. Will stay here again if ever passing through. FYI, there is a great grocery store in Bennett, King Soopers, where we could restock everything for our trip.

Jennifer and David's place is very tranquil and serene, with lovely pet dog and cat friends. They were both kind and warm. The location is very convenient, just 10 minutes from town with trailheads for beautiful hikes along the route to town. There is also ample opportunity for walking from the site. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing place with easy access to Boulder. I used the North Boulder Rec Center for showers, very comfortable and convenient. Many thumbs up!

This was a great spot for the tail end of our trip as it was close/convenient for a quick morning drive to the airport! Andy was super kind and very responsive and helpful in getting us to the correct spot. He reached out in advance about our ETA and was willing to accommodate a late check in, which we didn’t end up needing, but the flexibility is appreciated! The campsite and portapotty was in pristine condition. The site included a patio table/chairs and little lights that stayed on through the night. The stars were so bright — wish we had more time to hangout here! Thanks for having us, Andy! :)
