One of the valleys last original stone homes dating back to 1845. We have been restoring the buildings made from the stone. The main house which is not yet finished has beautiful etched glass windows of the cattle drives.
James Hinds the homesteader and original owner of the ranch created the ware and hinds ditch which supplies our abundant Valley water. He was a prominent attorney and got our water rights given to us forever from President Harrison.
It includes water that extends to the middle of the Colorado River and the one mile of our shoreline. Everyday that we live here we give thanks for his wisdom and foresight. The once huge ranch that used to extend across I -70 and to the far side of the Colorado River is now reduced to our beautiful 110 acres, but it is the most beautiful and hist

And if that’s not enough, after a day of shredding single track, you can return to your campsite and have 35 acres of desert hills all to yourself to continue the ride! When you’ve had enough of the bike, you can relax in your 8’x12’ cabin with two comfy chairs and room to hang a hammock or stretch out two of your sleeping bags if you don’t want to pitch a tent. A covered porch is the perfect place to watch the sunset and enjoy a well-earned beer. There’s a picnic table with a shade sail.

Gecko Gulch is not suitable for mega-large RVs. The cabin has no heat/air conditioning, but two screened windows open to catch a breeze and mosquito netting is on the door.If you’re tired of camping in a crowded, noisy campground with neighbors on all sides, if you want privacy and incredible views, then Gecko Gulch is waiting!

Stay somewhere truly different. Our property blends a private, working environment with wide-open space and a beautiful 1-acre lake (seasonal, summer access)—creating a peaceful, one-of-a-kind camping experience just minutes from town.
Each campsite sits on our 10-acre property, giving you your own space and privacy while still enjoying easy access to everything the area has to offer. You’ll be surrounded by some of the best outdoor recreation in Colorado—mountain biking, road cycling, hiking, rafting, fishing, off-roading, and more—all right outside your door. The Colorado National Monument is just a short drive away.
Despite the quiet setting, you’re only 2 minutes from Fruita, where you’ll find great restaurants, coffee shops, groceries, gas, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The Sites
We offer three well-spaced sites, each with:
Water and electricity (#1 has no water but power)
Expansive views
Easy access and privacy
One site includes full sewer hookup
A Unique Setting (Please Read)
This is not a traditional campground—it’s a private, adult-oriented property (18+) that also operates as the home of The Gondola Shop, a specialized gondola restoration business.
Weekdays (Mon–Fri): You may notice light activity, occasional noise, and staff moving through parts of the property.
Safety & atmosphere: For this reason, the property is best suited for responsible adults seeking a quieter, more independent camping experience.
No children allowed due to the working environment and equipment on site.
Speed limit: 10 mph throughout the property.
Groups & Gatherings
We’re open to small groups (RVs, vans, roof tents, etc.) as long as you are self-contained.
From May through October, when the lake is full, the property becomes an ideal setting for relaxed gatherings, BBQs, and enjoying the outdoors in a private setting.
If you’re looking for a quiet, unique place with space, views, and unbeatable access to Fruita’s outdoor scene—this is a great fit. If you’re looking for a traditional, kid-friendly campground, this likely isn’t it.

Nearly 7 acres overlooking the White River on the edge of White River National Forest. Bordering a wildlife preserve which offers nearly a mile of public fishing on the White River and Coal Creek. Take your UTV/ATV to town or for a day ride upriver directly from the campsite as the camp is situated on the OHV trail that extends from town (2 miles from the campsite) to the White River National Forest (more than 40 miles up the river). Incredible views and wildlife galore. Turkeys often rest in the trees across the river, and it is not uncommon to watch deer tangle antlers during the rut. Eagles nest in the trees across the river and are often seen fishing from the trees directly across from the campsite. The sunsets from this campsite will leave you breathless. Nothing better than camping, relaxing or fishing on the White River!

After traveling the US in our motorhome for almost 5 years my husband Scott and I know the value of a smiling face and a helping hand after a day (or week) of travel. Exploring and experiencing this amazing country, its diversity and incredible people enhanced our lives in so many ways.
In mid 2017 we found out our first grandchild was on the way. Long story short we parked the RV and parked ourselves here in Paonia, CO. In December of that year, we moved onto this amazing property full time and started the long list of fix ups (the list is still long). lol
We are blessed to have our two adult sons and (aforementioned) grandson living on this property with us. Our philosophy is to live in the moment as the present is the gift. Whether enjoying a sunrise or a sunset or anytime in between you’ll likely find us outside most days.
In that, we love all that nature has to offer including fresh fruits and veggies, animals, beauty and fragrances.
Sage View Ranch is being created with the desire to have people experience the natural rustic beauty and magic of Paonia.
Scott and I look forward to meeting you :)

The House where we live is the corner stone of the Bruce Property and is on the Colorado Register of Historic Houses.The residence was constructed between 1905 and 1912, using red bricks made on the site. John and Sophia Bruce, early pioneers in the North Fork Valley, were first involved in cattle raising. The family later became successful fruit growers. Located along the West Elk Loop, a Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway, the large two-story residence features a steeply pitched hipped roof with prominent attic dormers.As a guest of Riverwalk you will have full access to the river during your stay. In addition, there is the Riverwalk Trail System that skirts the North Fork of the Gunnison River from the top of the property, by the Riverwalk Yurt, (available on this site) meandering downstream past the Riverwalk TIPI (available on the site) passing the Grove Yurt (available on this site) and terminating at the bottom of the property with the sandy Riverwalk Beach. There is a trial that zigs through the Cottonwood Grove and zags back along the gentle Monitor Ditch skirting a newly planted grove of young trees.For RV Campers we provide 2- 30amp,1-50 amp and 1- 110-amp electrical services and potable water. There is a dump station available. There is also access to our heated shower house with running water and bathroom amenities (<3 min. walk, may be shared with other guests). The property is perfectly geared to groups of friends gathering in a central location between the onset of the Rockies and the termination high desert to the west. Friends or family will reserve both Yurts and the RV Site for a perfect reunion setting!

We were very happy with our stay on Mike's land; the pond was a delight. We appreciated the amenities, especially the canoes and kayaks for guest use, the thoughtful picnic table lighting, the firepits with grills, clean toilet, and the plentiful space between sites. We also enjoyed meeting Mike, who checked in to answer any questions and share his knowledge of the area (and beyond!). Great location, close to vineyards and college town, but removed enough to be dark and quiet at night.

This is our 2nd time at this campsite and it was even more amazing this time around! Clean, spacious and a lot of exploring to do. Mike makes sure every site is in great condition and has firewood available. The lake is so pretty - we loved just sitting around watching the sunset. Our pups were in heaven! Mike and Stephanie came over to say hello and we had a great chat. This is the perfect campsite when you want to get away, have a spacious site and still be close to fun action in Palisade/GJ area. We will be back!

I was excited to stay here just from the photos and the description…. Then we pulled up.
It was private, boutique, and romantic. I see why it doubles as a wedding venue.
We were only able to stay one night but it was enough to get us hooked. The host and hostess were communicative, thoughtful and had outfitted the whole property perfectly. It hardly felt like camping. We lucked out and had the whole place to ourselves- the bistro lights, nearby orchards and proximity to town made it easy to unwind after traveling.
We can’t wait to stay again- for a couple of nights.
