Love the campsite and George the host was great. Definitely loved having Big B's within walking distance which when they have live music is like going back in time with all the great characters that are there. The highlight was the lightening bugs. Great time and look forward to coming back.

10/10! Terra was an amazing host. We found ourselves in a bind after striking out at multiple dispersed camping sites + all of the pet friendly hotels in town were booked. Luckily, Terra’s place was available VERY last minute and we were able to book it for the night and show up within minutes. Terra wasn’t home, but called to walk us through the directions to the property and to the site. She was very attentive and has a beautiful piece of land.

This spot exceeded our expectations! George was the sweetest host and the Campsite was perfect and well kept. The bathroom was amazing, couldn't have asked for more. Having river access was so fun.

I stayed at Riverwalk for 3 nights in a small trailer and really enjoyed my time there. Riverwalk is right on the Paonia river and comprises a couple of yurts and RV sites. There is art and sculpture everywhere. The sites are well spaced so I seldom saw anyone else. On Friday and Saturday evening there is live music down the road. George is friendly and helpful. There is a flush toilet and a hot shower, water and electricity. Level shaded site.

Terra met us at the site and was as friendly and helpful as I remembered. We were return campers and stayed two nights. Our favorite parts were sitting in our camp chairs taking in the sunset against the gorgeous mountain panorama, sleeping with the rainfly off our tent, and gazing at the milky way with minimal light pollution. Always a pleasure!

Cindie is a kind and gracious host. She has an absolutely gorgeous property in the Northfork Valley with wide open space and Mountain views.
Afternoons were in the high 90s during our stay and Cindie kindly offered to let us move our van under a big cottonwood tree on the private part of her property during the heat of the day. Instead, we opted to spend the afternoons in the shade of the veranda admiring her beautiful gardens or in the covered stage area that she uses for live music performances. Fortunately, evenings and mornings are gloriously cool in this area.
It was fun to watch a resident deer family grazing right outside our van at dusk. We also enjoyed the wine and charcuterie plate she serves as part of her tasting room business. The wine from a local winery, Alfred Eames, was excellent! We bought a bottle of our favorite, Sangre Del Sol, to take home with us.
The only thing that could be a concern would be the condition of the field if it were to rain. The Majestic View field has been plowed in the last year or two, so the soil is pretty loose. There are some morning glories growing in, but if it were to rain, it would become very muddy. Since the property is located in high desert, rain is not typical, but certainly can happen during monsoon season. My guess is, that if it did rain, Cindie would have guests park their rig in the compacted parking lot area.

Very cute place. Stayed here for two nights with my husband and kids, they had a blast exploring the area. George was kind and insightful. The bathhouse was a plus. Great stay!

Terra's spot was special - what a view! It was quiet, private, and easy to find. Terra was helpful about recommendations and was always on hand in case I needed her. I felt safe...yet alone (in a good way!) I will definitely be back!

Great spot. Very quiet and peaceful. Close to town but not so close you get a lot of traffic. Only had two issues while camping but it wasnt property related. The place was beautiful and the porta potties were very well kept...I was very nervous about that. We didn't get to try the wines sadly but maybe next time!

It’s part River Walk, part public Art Walk. George is a consummate host and it’s a privilege to have stayed on his property — which is so close yet so secluded from Paonia.

Loved the location of zen zen gardens!! The host Cindie is kind and helpful. There was a rather large monsoon hitting us when we arrived Friday evening. Fortunately zen zen gardens has a lovely cottage that was available. Cindie was flexible with us to get a safe dry place to stay for our first night. The second night we did camp on a nice flat surface by the pond. Lovely time. Would go back again anytime.

George has created a unique and beautiful camping experience near the river. The shower/bath house was VERY nice and clean; his entire property showed lots of attention to detail. Big B’s is next door and had good food and live music. We would definitely stay again.

Candie's property was beautiful and serene. Nice to relax on the veranda in the morning. We did the wine tasting and charcuterie board which was fun and delicious close proximity to other wineries. Dog friendly.

Weekend Trip to Riverwalk Yurt, luxury on river
Had a great memorial day weekend in the Tipi! The site is MASSIVE, it could easily fit 2 families camping together. Tipi was comfy with a night time breeze and two foam mattress pads. Firewood was provided which was so nice - the campfire on the river was the highlight of my trip. Enjoyed the easy access to shower/toilet and to charge devices. George and his partner are LOVELY hosts. 5 stars.

What a beautiful place, the wine tasting venue is awesome! Highly recommend, but keep in mind you’ll be Boondocking. There are no power outlets

Such a peaceful and welcoming spot. The host greeted me upon arrival and made me feel right at home. My site had both water and electric hookups for my RV, and the bathhouse was great—clean, private, with strong water pressure and plenty of hot water. The whole place has a laid-back, relaxing vibe. There’s a short path along the river with lots of cozy spots to sit and read: hammocks and an assortment of charming, mismatched chairs. The site had a fire pit with a cooking grate, and there was also a charcoal BBQ available.
It’s also right next door to Big B’s, where you can grab their famous ciders—both alcoholic and non. They have live music on the weekends, which could be super fun to check out.
I’ve already booked my next stay—can’t wait to come back!
