3 nights at The Peachfork

Camping at Peachfork property was a magical experience! The grounds are gorgeous and the owners were so welcoming and wonderful! The wine was delicious as well. We were lucky to have been staying when a musician friend of theirs was passing through and were treated to a beautiful and intimate live concert. While wine tasting in Palisades, we would ask other vineyards where they recommend and Peachfork was always included! Shout out to Dave, Levi, and Phil. They were great. If your trailer is on the larger side, Levi was great with helping back it in. It is an active farm, so be prepared to hear tractors and the bird deterrent in the morning.

1 night at Erman Zoo Hip-Camp L.L.C .

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!

4 nights at Erman Zoo Hip-Camp L.L.C .

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.

Weekend Trip to Erman Zoo Hip-Camp L.L.C .

This spot was perfect for a place to crash after exploring the wineries in Palisade! Chad was easy to communicate with. The site is on the side of the road, but we didn’t have issues with it being noisy at night. Would definitely camp here again.

Weekend Trip to The Peachfork

Such a beautiful and well-kept vineyard. Wish we could have spent more time here. Definitely would recommend staying the night. I brought my parents and my fiance we slept in tents under the trees. We used the hot shower and drank some of their juice from the apples from the orchard. It was a bit pricey but that was because I'm assuming memorial weekend. I would recommend bringing a bicycle and biking to other vineyards. Thank you Levi for hosting us and answering all of our questions.
