4 nights at PR Ranch - Fly Fishing

This is a little secret I hate to let people know about. We were the only ones camping this week. We had the entire place to ourselves. We ran into the owner and 2 ranch hands a couple of times, but besides that we were all alone. The owner and ranch hands were extremely nice. The fly fishing was top notch. I fished for 3 days and caught 15-18 inch trout every day. The river was maintained very well. We were here the first week of October and the colors of the trees was unbelievable. My wife wanted seclusion, river, and colors. I wanted fly fishing. We got everything we both wanted. I want to visit this ranch again.

Beautiful spot on the river! County rd next to it but is rarely used. I did have some families of Amish drive by in horse and buggy. Good fishing. River was low but I managed a handful over a day and a half, one 18”. Height of leaves changing and so colors were amazing. Great hosts. Provide all firewood too!

Nice rural spot with a smashing distillery right next door! They had a country band and dance on while we were there which was great fun. Doesn’t have all the amenities of a larger campground but would recommend for those looking for a quieter setting.

This is an amazing family camp site! The hosts are very kind and want to make sure you have a good stay. They even gave us chicken eggs from their very own chickens on the property. The site is quiet and perfect for a family looking for a peaceful setting. National forests surround the area and there is plenty to explore. Full hookups for our camper was the cherry on top!

What an amazing find this was. Took my wife here for her birthday weekend and she was so happy with the trip. Perfectly located near a spa, beatifil views and not that from Great Sand Dunes which is an absolute must see. As for the site itself, it was so peaceful. The RV lots are nestled in the trees so you get some nice shade while being able to enjoy the outdoors. The RV hookups were perfect and accessible with no hassle. The hosts z This was probably the best part of choosing the site. Scott and Juli are amazing hosts. We felt very welcome, Thry have a binder for each site with all the information you might think you need and even some things you might not have thought of. I sent a message asking a question the first morning and forgot to reply and Scott same down to our sure to make sure we had gotten what we needed. Amazing gesture! They even brought us cookies for my wife’s birthday, which was awesome. Bottom line, if you want to enjoy a peaceful RV experience this is the place to be. Can’t think of a single thing that could make it better!

We had a great time camping with friends on Juli's land! We received super detailed directions to the lovely and remote location. The spots were level and well situated, and easy to back into. There was plenty of room for both families to have their own space and socialize too. The location and the sites are very pretty. National Forest is right behind the sites and we enjoyed hikes, four-wheel drive adventures and a trip to Alamosa and the Great Sand Dunes. Juli and Scott are great communicators and thoughtful, responsive hosts!

Weekend Trip to PR Ranch - Fly Fishing

We stayed at site#1. It was truly one of the most amazing sites we’ve stayed at, and we’ve stayed at several. Glenn’s ranch is about 20 min from Monte Vista. The Alamosa River cuts through much of it. Site #1 sits right off of the road, which is no big deal because there is very little traffic that comes through that county road. The site is big and flat with plenty of shade. Sits directly on the river with a nice shallow wading area. My husband enjoyed lots of fly fishing & caught several fish. There are 2 nice fire pits & a grate. Glenn was very accommodating & communication was easy. We enjoyed meeting him & learning about the area & ranch. Hope to be back again sometime. I suspect my husband will look him up to come back to stay on the ranch & flyfish someday:)
