PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING YOUR STAY!
Welcome to Whiskey Ridge! We are a working farm and ranch, and do not have formal campsites. You’ll be camping in a pasture accessed via dirt roads—nothing fancy here, but we offer some of the best night skies you can imagine. Please note that pasture conditions reflect the weather—if it’s hot and dry, the campsite will be hot and dry. Plan accordingly! We welcome messages with any questions.
Whiskey Ridge Beef is a family-owned and operated grass-fed beef operation located on the eastern plains of Colorado. Our beef is 100% grass-fed and finished, all-natural, never treated with growth hormones or antibiotics, GMO-free, and raised humanely. We consider ourselves stewards of the land and practice sustainable farming and ranching methods.
We’re also happy to answer any questions you may have about our beef, process, or general practices.

We had such a great stay at Highway 59! The sunset and sunrise were incredible, the directions and ease of getting there were very simple, the site was level, highway noise was minimal, and there was plenty of room for our dog to exercise. Kerry was both communicative and accommodating. We were quickly back on the highway the next morning after fueling up and grabbing a coffee and breakfast burrito at the station right at the on ramp. We will definitely be staying here again in the future!
