We provide a "smart movie projector" with built-in ROKU, for a movie night...The outdoor kitchen includes a PitBoss pellet smoker/grill, and propane griddle. The kitchen has a 2-burner gas stove and a small refrigerator. The bathroom has a Nature's Head composting toilet...

We are so fortunate to have the little slice of heaven that we have built our creek side mushroom, veggie and flower farm. We are building a labor of love and would love to have like minded folks joining our community by staying in Red Stripe Rhonda on the creek or our cabin on the cliff- The Little B. The 1950's Bellwood trailer could not be more charming with wood paneling, 1950's styling and positioned right overlooking the bridge on the creek. The outdoor heated shower has a view of the creek and a dry toilet. There are several seating areas capturing quaint vignettes of the farm fields, stunning views and produce. The Little B cabin boasts stunning views, terraced gardens, a hammock grove and a cozy loft. Feel free to look at our on farm events to learn, make and shop local here!

I live in a safe, quiet area between the city and the mountains (15min either way) with a nice big driveway to park your rig w/electric & WiFi. I loved the nomad life on the road for 2 years before settling here so I know how hard it is to find accessible, affordable, remote work friendly spots in Denver. The backyard is fenced in so if you have dogs that are fine with other dogs, they are welcome to play out there with my pups. Happy to give you recs on the city, hikes, let me know what you need ❤️

This was exactly what we hoped it would be. We needed a place to stay as we traveled through Colorado in our campervan. We wanted to be close to red rocks for a concert...and this fit the bill perfectly. The property has a cool artsy industrial / rural vibe. It was quiet and the restroom and shower area, although shared, were clean and tidy. Randy showed us his shop which was a bonus since my son is also a maker. This is where the magic happens.. The trails in the area were amazing.
We hope to stay there again when we return.

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back! The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived.
One of our favorite parts of this campsite was how private and secluded it felt. We barely saw anyone during our stay and didn’t encounter other campers until our last day, which made for a peaceful and relaxing experience. The campsite itself is very large, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the space.
There isn’t a porta potty directly next to this site, but there are several located throughout the property, so it wasn’t an issue for us. We also found some great hiking trails nearby and enjoyed exploring the area.
If you’re looking for a quiet, spacious campsite with friendly hosts and beautiful surroundings, we highly recommend staying here!

It was easy to find, easy to pull in and out, and had plenty of room for big rigs. We had to unhook to be level, but that was not a big deal. The animals are incredible! Our kids loved visiting them.

I was hesitant to try to book here because vehicle clearance is mentioned more than once and I drive a mini van. It was fine. I would recommend getting there before dark to find your spot.
The drive in is like driving through a national park. It is so beautiful.
The property is also amazing, the smell of the trees, the sounds of nature. Deer everywhere, and as the sun went down I watched some rabbits chase each other around. Great place for stargazing!
The bathrooms are pretty far from some of the campsites, but they are clean! You have to drive quite a ways back toward town to get cell phone signal if that matters to you.
Close to redrocks if you are attending a show, but also a great place if you want to visit the city and then get away from it.
