Tongue Creek Ranch is beautifully situated at the base of the Adobe Buttes on the southern side of the Grand Mesa in Austin, Colorado. The 70-acre ranch has over 40 acres in hay and alfalfa with seasonal cattle grazing in the fall and winter months. Whether you come to stay at one of the rental properties, get married or host a special event, we welcome you to enjoy the beautiful setting of Tongue Creek Ranch and the incredible sites of the Western Slope! David and Barb Cocetti purchased the ranch in June 2019 to embark on a new life where they could cultivate the land and be more self-sustaining. By following Biblical guidelines for work and agriculture, this land has come to life! It is proving to be an oasis where people find peace while enjoying the serenity of the surroundings. The clamping Cabin sits behind the horse arena and in front of Tongue Creek. It's the cutest little cabin and we mean little, more like an expertly finished big shed. It is 10x14 with a 3x14 covered porch but finished inside like a 5 star hotel. AC, TV, Wifi, fireplace, comfortable queen size bed. Beetle kill tongue and groove ceiling, cultured barn wood wanes coating. It's super nice. The ranch itself may be the reason for the "glamp" booking. The yard is manicured and the 25 house, goats and chickens are fun to see. The big plus is we are only 20 minutes away from the Grand Mesa outdoorsman mecca. This is probably the cheapest base camp to the Mesa. The ranch is a great base camp to wineries, Moab, Telluride, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, fishing, boating, hiking, trails and hundreds of open BLM land for Razor riding. Check us out.

With Mt Garfield looming in close proximity and views to take in from every direction, Erman Zoo Hip-Camp is located on the farm property of the Erman family, which have been part of the Palisade community for 50 years. This family has adopted 22.....yes 22 children and fostered many more. The site has almost no light pollution and the stars are yours to stare at when they visit at night. The site is in walking distance of all festivals, events, wineries, distillery, parks, fruit stands, the Colorado River, and downtown Palisade, so parking at events should prove no issue for occupants. Leave your vehicle and take a short walk to take in the scenery and air. Before you realize, you're at your preferred destination and now, more Palisade than you ever were. The Erman property has farm animals that can be visited and feel free to introduce yourself to them. Gail Erman is the Erman matriarch and resides on the farm. Chad Erman is her adopted son, who resides on the property as well, and will be your camp host, as well as his 7 year old son. Come stay, relax, and if you find the time or want to, familiarize yourself with this family and the stories they may have waiting, as they have many.

Easy to find and easy to camp, the Double M Ranch is the perfect location for adventures across the Grand Junction area and up to the Mesa. We really enjoyed the solitude (even with active farming operations and the airport nearby). It is exactly what we look for in a HipCamp, with the added bonus of water and power! The long view is what attracted us to the site, and it will be what brings us back next time we come to Grand Junction.

Lovely spot overlooking the hills & farmland surrounding Grand Junction. Very close to town and perfect for our needs - we were renting an Airstream Bambi to test it out for a possible future purchase. Needed to be in an easy location & flat spot for Bambi host to deliver, and for us to get used to the van. View from site was expansive and we enjoyed watching the planes come and go from the airport. The Highline canal at the end of the road is great for a walk or bike, we enjoyed our 90 minute 'workout'. Kelly & Chris have their site set up very nicely with picnic table, water and electricity, & with the Bambi's awning, we had enough shade, even in the middle of the day. They've also planted trees which will be good for shade & privacy in the future. Highly recommended if you are passing through and looking for somewhere quiet & easy.

This was a lovely little spot conveniently located just up the street from downtown Palisade. Our hosts were so lovely and kind, the goats are adorable, having the wood ready at the campground was super convenient (and a great deal, they left alot of wood!), and we were even given delicious peaches on our way out! The site is a little loud right on the road but that's what you get when you're in the middle of town, and its nice to have a cute and affordable place to stay in Palisade!

We had a great stay in the ranch for a couple of nights, Dave & Barb were kind and thoughtful hosts. We (our dog included) enjoyed walking around the ranch and saying hello to the horses every morning. The temperatures were high when we stayed but the cabin had an AC that kept us cool when needed, which we especially appreciated. The cabin felt private but not remote, which was perfect for our needs.

Beautiful views and Chad is very accommodating. He's working on getting some shade for the campsites but in the summer it can get pretty hot if you don't have your own shade canopy. It's about a mile walk to the beginning of town where there is a great pizza place and some fruit stands. About another mile into the heart of town for a lot of shops and stores. Very convenient location if you're doing things in Palisade or the outlying areas.

This is the 2nd time at this Hipcamp spot. It is very quiet and no traffic. It is full sun but because of the orientation of the parking spot, I was able to get part shade in the morning and evening. They have recently planted a couple of trees for future shade. It is on the edge of BLM public land and great for dog walking.

We are a working hobby farm, complete with orchard, goats, pasture, and yurts. We love this slice of Western Colorado beauty... so close to the Grand Mesa, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and the Uncompaghre Plateau. So many outdoor possibilities! We build a brand new shower house with flushing toilet to share between all guests as we also have 2 yurts. We also welcome pets that don't chase the free range chickens and are on a leash when out n about. We have recently installed a Pergola for shade! Tent camping is in side the square (if you'd like!) as its lined with peegravel. There is a gate at the entrance of the field and there is a horse fence around the field is twine, so please use the gate! The share shower and bath house has on-demand hot water and a flushing toilet. We encourage all guests to be tidy and efficient as the yurts also share the same bath house.

The buoys in the lake are scuba projects from the local college CMU, and hold lots of fish. Other nesting platforms are for our local Geese and they hatch out in April-June. We airbnb 2 rooms in our home as a shared facility and have airbnbs in Northern Ca and Baja. Our home is off limits for campers as we need to respect the space for our other airbnb guests. But in an emergence please call, cell service works fine. port-a potty is gone for the winter November-April. port-a potty is clean and works great, May- Oct.

Elk are in rut and you can hear them bugling from your campsite. The aspen groves are peaking and we’re surrounded by orange scrub oak for fall. Oh, we have views! You may have a campfire and we have free wood! We also have delicious duck eggs! A beautiful 40 acre ranch on Hastings Mesa with views of Alder Canyon and Hayden’s Peak. You can hear Alder Creek flowing through the canyon from the comfort of your campsite. Many nearby options for bicycling, hiking, kayaking and skiing in the area. Once you pull out the driveway you are a few minutes from Last Dollar Ranch Road (hike, bike, or 4x4) and about a 25 minute drive to Telluride, 30 minutes to Ridgway, and 30 minutes to Norwood. Just outside of Ridgway is Orvis Hot Springs, and more hot springs can be found in Ouray. The property offers access to Alder Creek and our beaver ponds down in the canyon. The fields are blanketed with Iris and clematis flowers in May and June and other wild flowers throughout the summer including pentstemon, larkspur, and wild roses. There are patches of scrub oak and fields with cinquefoil bushes in the camping areas, and as you go down in the canyon there’s aspen groves, blue spruce, and ponderosa pines. As mentioned before, we have delicious farm fresh duck eggs from our happy free-ranging ducks!
