Walk-in sites are just a short hike, about 100 feet, on an unmanicured trail to our platforms. We provide the platform for your tent as well as access to all of our lodge's amenities; front desk, lobby, bar & beer garden, fire pits, grills, bathrooms, shower, outdoor common areas, free wifi, etc. A-Lodge has a 7-day non-refundable cancellation policy. If you cancel within 7 days of your arrival, 50% of the total is non-refundable. Our guests love us too! Check out what a fellow camper had to say: "First time Hipcamper and A-Lodge visitor here, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re traveling to the Boulder area. The tent platforms were easy to get to and spaced far enough apart for privacy and generally a nice break from setting up a tent on a gravel pad. WiFi was stable throughout my visit and I was able to get some work done before heading home."

6 nights at Mera Gardens Glamping

They have everything! A peaceful setting in a space shared with two other trailers (vintage, that they rent to glampers) nice outdoor green spaces to enjoy with picnic tables, hammocks and outdoor cooking area. Then they also have indoor space: two flush toilets, shower, dinning table and chairs, microwave and large screen TV. Two nice silly dogs in residence and two very nice, thoughtful, kind and welcoming hosts in Greg and Olivia. We stayed twice this summer and will surely be back when we return to the area. Only negatives: no sewer hookup for our camper (not a huge deal with flush toilet and sinks mere steps away in the flex room described above) Also the space was a challenge for me to pull out of due to tight turns around some fencing. Since I was nervous about taking out these lovely host’s fence with our 21 ft. Travel trailer, Greg very kindly backed out for us to save me the stress. While the location is excellent and the property lovely and well cared for, it is sometimes a little loud as it is across the street from Niwot high school football and sports fields. Some mornings and Friday nights the practices and games were quite easily heard from their tranquil backyard space. But that was a small trade off for a place that was very peaceful most of the rest of the time.

A small, private campground. Dan, our host, was awesome! My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay, there. It was extremely peaceful and rejuvinating. several deer stopped by our rv, hoping for snacks. Yes, yes, I know.. "Don't feed the wild animals." Mrs. doe did receive a handful of grapes, whilst Mr. Buck stood there, supervising. We were also visited by a fox. A mother bear w/cubs performed a late nigh,, on-camera cameo at the back of the campground. 2 or 3 rv sites, a couple of tent areas, and 2 cabins, snuggled up, at the bottom of the mountain. Sweet.

Weekend Trip to Peaceville (Lodging & Tent/RV Site)

BEAUTIFUL property with two campsites nestled in a large aspen grove in a "dark sky" area of Colorado. Amy and John were so welcoming and kind and communication was great! The campsites feel very private and remote, while still being accessible to activities and a few businesses. The Aspen site feels more shaded and woodsy, while Boyscout is more open with nice views. It was great to have the whole camping space to ourselves along with the safe house option a short hike away for food storage, indoor plumbing, WiFi, and escape from the rain :) Wish we could have stayed longer!
