46mi from Maybell · 11 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Meeker, CO

The Ute Lodge was homesteaded in the 1930’s by Joe Fox who after leaving the military came west to settle in the White River valley. Joe was known for his friendliness, hospitality and wild stories. Today you might find much of the same. From Joe’s day to today it is a place where families come together to get away. The Ute Lodge is now owned by Karl and Mona Maser who celebrated 20 years of ownership summer of 2019! All summer our cabins are filled with guests from all over the US as well as international travelers. One of our favorite things about the summer is our weekly potlucks where we all share an outdoor meal. All of our visitors have a standing invitation to join us around the community campfire at night. From our beautiful private lake (where you can paddle-board, kayak and fish), to immediate access to the Papoose and Crooks Park Trails on National Forest land, as well as the vast variety of wildlife that roams around, you can find what you need here to unplug and get away from it all.

Weekend Trip to Ute Lodge - At the End of the Road

If you are looking for something very remote with full hook ups this is a great place to stay. This is a farm on private property. We were left alone the 3 nights we stayed. If you have scrapes left from a meal, you can feed them to the pigs. We would come back.

So peaceful and beautiful. Great trails for some hiking and the pond was a great place to spend some time. Loved sitting outside with morning coffee and listening to the creek and animals. Loved hearing the horses, ducks, chickens and pigs. She was nice and a pleasure to talk too and her 2 dogs are so friendly and sweet. Was very helpful and helped accommodate us with our 45’ foot rig. Had a nice area with a sand box, swings, basketball and games and an area for bonfire. Well worth the visit!

Home on Wheels is a truly sweet and special place. Hosts Mona, Carl and Martina could not be nicer. It was so fun to enjoy the farm life, pet the horses, feed the pigs our scraps, listen to the chickens, play the games and sit by the community fire. We mainly hiked and fished all over the gorgeous area. We will be back!

We've been on a honeymoon trip and this was definitely our favorite spot. Site is right across from the river so you can hear it all night long. The host were amazing and helped us with everything we needed. The campground is very quiet and just a short drive into town for supplies or to just enjoy some food and drinks at the brewery. Will definitely come back with our kids next time.

Very well kept park. Park itself was lovely and peaceful but we did notice quite a lot of road noise. Not a lot that can be done about it and still an excellent spot if passing through

This camp site is absolutely beautiful and Mona and Karl are just the kindest! My friend and I went on a camping trip during early June and were the only ones staying on the site(besides host). Everyone was so friendly and accommodating! We were able to go paddle boarding and Karl helped us set everything up. We had great conversations with both Mona and Karl and they are both great people to talk to. This was my first time using Hipcamp and I can say that it went very well. I’m already planning to bring my family out here asap!!

2 nights at Cabin on the river at Welder Ranch

We loved the whole cabin experience. View from the cabin was incredible, the wood stove made me feel like I was in a movie, and the walks through the snow lined paths and roads surrounded by beautiful forest was amazing. Enjoyed cross country skiing, the snowmobile adventure provided by Welder Outfitting, and can't wait to come back in the summer.
