Rooted Recovery: Elevated Alpine Camping
Rooted Recovery is a premium secluded camping experience set at 10,000 feet in Colorado's Subalpine Forest — designed for serious outdoor enthusiasts who want comfort without compromise. This property is high altitude, low oxygen.
Your secluded site includes a dedicated fire pit with quality firewood, nestled among Engelmann spruce, Aspen, Lodgepole pine, and Subalpine Fir with views of Sheep Mountain and Mount Sherman. Step into genuine solitude, where dark skies reveal a canopy of stars and the Milky Way. Wildlife including moose, fox, and porcupines move freely through the forest around you. For the night sky enthusiast, this is a Dark Sky C3 rated site.
Wake before dawn to tackle nearby 14ers (Mount Quandary – 18 miles; Mount Sherman – 19 miles), or train at elevation for your next race. We are 2 miles to Pike National Forest. Return from skiing at Breckenridge (25 miles) to your crackling fire and the forest’s deep quiet. Enjoy fly fishing or hiking in the surrounding National Forest.
The property is 4 miles from Hwy 9 on County Road 14. It is paved for the first 2 miles, followed by 2 miles of dirt road beyond the National Forest boundary. Guymard Road may have delayed plowing after a snow and Winter access requires coordination. Expect snowfall from November through May, with major snowfalls averaging 18 inches.
* Highway 14 is a Class 3 Park County Maintained Road

I had such a great experience booking with Carrie at Rooted Recovery. I originally had an issue with a cancellation and she immediately stepped in to help me resolve it. She fully refunded my first booking and made it super easy for me to rebook the night at her Sheep Mountain Site.
Carrie was responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure everything worked out smoothly. The process could’ve been stressful, but she made it simple and seamless. I’m very appreciative of her communication and support.
Highly recommend — the customer service alone is top-tier, and it made me even more excited for my stay on her land.

I’ve been torn about leaving this review, not because anything was bad, but I almost want to keep this spot for myself! Eric’s land and camping spot was phenomenal. Great outdoor table, fire pit, and hookups. The amenities by the creek were the icing on the cake! Benches, fishing poles, you name it. This place was great. Eric was a gracious host and checked in with us each day through the app without being intrusive.
The parking spot could be a bit difficult to get into for longer campers or inexperienced drivers. I have a decent amount of experience and it took me a couple of tries.
Quick access to I70 and good food nearby but Eric had everything we could’ve possibly needed at camp. Such a great weekend!

This is a beautiful, heavily treed spot. We really loved walking around. The host was helpful and even left us some gear in case we needed it; a propane fire pit and a canopy. We’d return here for sure.
