Eons ago camels roamed through the San Luis Valley and today they roam once again. Come and stay at our yurt enjoying views of the mountains and of the camels and donkeys roaming their home. Take a farm tour and get the chance to pet the camels and maybe even sneak a camel kiss. Enjoy a night stay at the yurt viewing the stars or enjoying a nice fire at the fire pit. Come stay in our yurt and get the chance to meet our little herd of camels and wake up to the views of the gorgeous surroundings! Travel down a few miles of dirt roads and you will find our little oasis of 35 acres. The hard-sided yurt sits right next to the field where our camels and donkeys roam. Set apart from the main house, sitting in Trujillo Canyon, and surrounded by BLM/National Forrest, its the perfect spot for recharging. Located off the beaten path so amazing for star gazing but also close enough to the Sand Dunes for day adventures. Our property is off the grid and allows you to disconnect for a little while and there is a nice creek to go and sit by. Each stay also includes a farm tour if you are interested. The night skies have little light pollution and are perfect for star gazing. We can't wait for you to come and stay with us!Don't take our word for it, guests love their stays with us! "We struck gold finding this magical place. The yurt was so cozy, comfy, and full of tons of extras that exceeded our expectations. We booked our little trip to visit the dunes, but this farm was by far the best part of our trip. We loved our walks to see all the animals. The camels and donkeys were so friendly!"

Base Camp Family Campground is owned and operated by the Baker Family. Josh Baker first lived in Southern Colorado in the early 90's as a child, but his family moved away after a short time. His desire to move back here as an adult prompted him to start bringing his own family to Colorado for vacations. They purchased land in the valley in 2014 and moved to Colorado in 2020. They are using all they've learned from years of RV adventures, to continue the park's mission of providing a clean, affordable, spacious, well-run camping facility, and to be a centrally located "base camp" and hub of information for everything this unique area has to offer.
You'll be camping in the shadows of 14,000 ft. mountain peaks, in the largest high-desert alpine valley in the world, that is sprinkled with free-flowing artesian wells, hot springs and wet lands. Daily summer temperatures average 65 degrees, and it will get down into the 50's at night. That's perfect camping weather!
For native American tribes, including the Utes, Apache, Navajos, and others, this valley is considered the source of life, a place where humans and spirit enter and leave this world. The valley was considered so sacred, that no war would be waged here.
The ET Connection
As if all of the mountains, deserts, hot springs, and sacred ground weren't enough, The San Luis Valley is also known as a UFO hot spot! UFO sightings have been reported as far back as the 1600's.

The Rabbit Hole Ranch offers beautiful night skies with little to no light pollution and unobstructed views of the majestic Blanca Massif. The Great Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls is just a (gorgeous) 35 minute drive.
Camping here at the Rabbit Hole Ranch is primitive and dispersed (no numbered sites) and there 30 acres available for you to use. Just follow the signs to the designated area and pick out a spot you like.
Some spots have fire rings, some don’t. We are working on getting more, but in the meantime you’re welcome to bring your own. Or feel free to dig out a little hole. It works great and is easy to extinguish when you fill it back in and bury it. Please do not bury any trash.
Typically, you will experience a rare kind of solitude and silence that feels…. other-worldly, with incredible sunrises and sunsets filling the enormous skies.
On holidays, however, expect it to be busy.
Our only dog, Boudicca, is a working dog and she is more than happy to help keep you and your pets safe. Please help make her job easier by not leaving any food or trash in or around tents. Her name is Boudicca (BOO duh kuh) and she lost her two besties last year, so she needs extra love and treats!
Please keep your pets on leash or under control until you’re comfortably certain they get along with our dog. And please report any issues promptly.
Quiet time begins at 10:00 pm.
Note: Holidays still offer the excellent location and spectacular views, but are likely to be less quiet and far more busy. We typically do not strictly enforce quiet time during holidays.

Weekend Trip to Coyote Mountain, Crestone Open Sky
Lydia was a great host and the view from the medicine tent CANNOT be beat! She was communicative, helpful, and the very comfortable and warm bed was the perfect place to land. I enjoyed reading outside of the tent while taking in the mountains, the hot water to wash up at night, and the very clean composting toilet. I would 100% stay again, thank you so much for having me!

Really nice well set up yurt. Great views and privacy. Comfortable beds. Has lights, heat, power, and some water provided. Has a camp stove but we had a problem getting it to light, so we used our own. The only issue was some barking from nearby dogs intermittently during the night that woke me up a few times, but obviously that's outside the owners control. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Mountain, Crestone Open Sky
This tent and property were marvelous! The bed is very comfortable — we brought an extra blanket or two as we knew it would be in the low 20s and were very cozy. The hot shower in the bathhouse was a huge bonus (especially on a cold night) and the views of both stars and mountains were spectacular. Communication with the host and directions were all clear and prompt. Would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Mountain, Crestone Open Sky
I am very happy with our stay. Thanks so much for supplying extra blankets before we even arrived, that was very thoughtful. Only change i would make is coming when it was slightly warmer. Only issue that came up was the lights in tent weren't charged, but they were solar powered and it was a cloudy day. Definitely would recommend

Yes, yes, and yes. This property, facilites, and beauty is unparalleled. Everything about this experience was awesome. I couldn’t get the heater started and Cheves was onsite within 15mins fixing it. I want nothing more than to come back.

My wife, two dogs and I stayed for three nights during an unseasonably warm mid-March, using TCC as a basecamp for sandhill crane viewing and other SLV exploits. Overall, it was great, especially for the price. The cabin was well-built and well-equipped (even better so than some pricey Airbnbs), the view was spectacular, and the great outdoors were immediately at hand. The only downside is that it is a bit remote from some of the attractions we wanted to visit, but you can't have everything. If you stay, check out the church next door.

2 nights at Coyote Mountain, Crestone Open Sky
It was very peaceful. Great views of the Rockies and surrounding area. Owners are helpful, pleasant & have great suggestions. Tent is roomy, king bed was comfortable, temperatures in the 20s but we kept warm with the wonderful bedding. Table available and cushy chair inside the tent. Two outdoor chairs available if needed. The shower was super hot which I LOVE!!! Clean restroom. Very earth friendly. Soap, TP and bath towels were provided. Easy access to activities around the area. We visited Great Sand Dunes National Park and the quirky Alien Watchtower. There is a community park in Crestone, a small natural foods grocery store and a couple of restaurants to try out. We tried the pizza place that serves alcohol and the food was great! Highly recommend this place to stay. We are relaxed and regenerated after our visit! The resident dog was an added bonus!! She greeted us when we came home and in morning and evenings!!

2 nights at Tin Can Camp: Adventure Base
Everything was fantastic except for the fact that there was no mention that the incinerating toilets were removed! :( Instead, there was an outhouse/porta potty situation which wasn’t too bad all things considered, I just wish communication would have been a bit more transparent given that there was plenty of time/ways to do so.

Great lil cabin with easy access to Penitente Canyon and the San Luis Valley. The cabins have all the basics for a weekend stay. We found the instructions for all the amenities and the directions to the place to be very helpful. Highly recommend to folks looking for an elevated camping experience!

The cabin had everything we needed. Location was beautiful. We were there for the Sandhills crane migration and it was an easy commute to the wildlife refuge. Everything was as advertised and we had pretty decent privacy. Cabin was perfect for a home base when our hiking or enjoying the scenery.

Weekend Trip to The Mushroom Yurt
Cheves's Yurt was about 30 mins north of Taos, make sure you make it down there for some tacos and art. Cheves has done a nice job of setting up this off-grid yurt. The outhouse is nice, he's got electricity (for charging and lights - but not for big electronics) and heat to keep you warm at night. Bring extra layers if coming in winter, but we loved our stay (obviously, this is off grid camping folks with a nice mattress), it was beautiful and affordable and comfortable. FYI there are free roaming dogs in the area - I would like to come back in the summer and use the outdoor shower! Cool place. There is a burner for coffee, but you do need to bring anything you want to cook. Thanks Cheves.
