New Sky’s bones are those of an old settler’s homestead in the San Luis Valley that dates back to the early 1900’s. Nestled up against the Rio Grande National Forest, it is a high mountain desert oasis that holds the original dance hall of the county and a whole lot of history.
New Sky Ranch is a wild, wild place. We are not only off grid, but also nestled in a large natural caldera (meaning a volcano that has collapsed on itself) and are right next to national forest. This means that we can experience all 4 seasons in a single day - having extreme winds and rain in one moment, and clear summer skies the next! We invite you to not only be prepared for this, but to lean into the experience as this unique high alpine environment can be one of the most inspiring and epic places on earth.
We are currently fixing up what is already on the property for an eco-experiential retreat as well as a space for like minded artists to take refuge and create magic on the land. We currently have our workshop and studio space up and running as well as the first of several livable structures completed - an 100 year old rehabbed miners cabin using Hempcrete and other natural materials, complete with a communal outdoor kitchen. We also have begun hosting our first artist/maker residents who are using the shop space and land to bring their own creations to life. Over time, we have dreams of permaculture farming, eco building workshops, community collaboration, and the ability to host gatherings – however, we are committed to taking it all one step at a time and allowing only what is meant to be to unfold. For now it is simply our home, a maker space for art and experimental eco building, a gathering spot for friends and a quiet Hipcamp spot.

2 nights at Starlite Vintage Resort
Loved our stay at Starlite! The vintage theme was fun and our cabin was perfect for me and my teenager. The shower house/toilets were very clean, as was our cabin. We were lucky to get a clear night during our stay and the night sky was spectacular - the Milky Way was visible!
We were also close to all of the Royal Gorge attractions, so it was easy to get to all the activities we planned, like hiking and rafting.
Very friendly staff, no complaints except our TV kept turning on at random so we unplugged it. We would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed in the 2-bedroom suite and had a wonderful "glamping" experience. The rooms were clean, with plenty of silverware/cookware/kitchen utensils available. Check-in and out was a breeze with the detailed communications we received, and the location is ideal for exploring the Salida and San Isabel National Forest areas. The only negative was that it was quite hot at night despite running the fans and opening the windows (which were a bit tricky to get open). The property owners are planning to install a swamp cooler for the unit soon, and that should help mitigate the heat. As a family of 5, we found this suite perfect (the sofa in the living room pulls out into a futon-style bed). Highly recommend this spot for any families looking for a nice glamping vacation.

Paul and Robin’s Library Schoolhouse rental is so awesome! The rental is a one room cabin decorated like an old schoolhouse on the prairie. Super cute and very comfortable. There is a very clean toilet and shower room on the side of the building. We went for a peaceful night of stargazing. The views were breathtakingly clear of the Milky Way, constellations, with the Sande Cristo mountains at the forefront. Gorgeous.
Paul met us at the gate and gave us some great information about the area and their land. He and his wife have put so much love and hard work into this property. We can’t wait to go back and experience other seasons in the alpine desert.

The yurt itself was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped. Even the composting toilet was impressively clean, odor-free, and had an amazing view!

We had an amazing stay at this cozy riverside cabin! The views are incredible, and it's a great spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature.
A couple of tips for future guests: if you're visiting when temperatures are above 90°F, be prepared for the cabin to get pretty warm. There is a fan, but bringing an additional fan will make a big difference. Since you're right on the river, bug spray and some fly tape are also good things to pack.
Those minor things didn't take away from our experience. We'd happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic getaway.

Weekend Trip to Frenchman's Creek Ranch
We had a great time at Frenchman's Creek Ranch. The medium canvas tent site was a convenient and comfortable place to relax after a full day of riding motorcycles. There is lighting and a table inside the tent, wood Adirondack chairs on the tent platform, and some camp chairs that can be used inside or around the gas fire pit, which is a particularly nice touch during the ongoing county fire bans. The tent sites are located within a stand of mature Aspens and there is enough distance between the few sites to feel comfortable in your own space. The hosts were easy to work with and were super responsive to messages, yet unobtrusive during our stay. This is a working ranch and it was fun in the morning to hear the cows having some strong opinions about something. Overall, a great experience and just way better amenities than state or federal campgrounds, but without the crowding and institutional feel of true commercial campgrounds. Buena Vista is a short 10 minute drive away if you want to go do some shopping, dining or partake in activities. We spent a couple hours at Strange Craft Beer Company where we enjoyed great beer and live music in their beer garden. Would definitely stay here again.

I absolutely loved the school room metal cabin at Paul and Robin's place. They are excellent owners and provide wonderful customer service. The little school room was equipped with everything you would need. It was so beautifully decorated with a wonderful bed, windows with million dollar views of the Sangre De Cristo mountain range, and it was so quiet and restful. There is desk to write on, table and chairs, dresser, and an extra little couch bed. So many wonderful books to read, and a little gift shop that I could not resist of homemade gifts by Robin. There is a little table and chairs outside, and a wonderful toilet and shower right next door to the metal cabin. I cannot wait to come back!

A very cleanly campground with beautiful views and great amenities. I was on a month long camping trip so staying at a cabin to rest and have some AC for a few days, while being able to recharger devices, was a great reset that I needed. Working on the porch, sitting in the swing was a bonus! Beautifully renovated restrooms/showers too, it felt quite luxurious compared to other places I’d showered during the month lol. Linens/towels provided in cabin as well.
Quiet place at night which is much appreciated, respectful people, and each of the different camping styles are offered to suit all needs.
Amazing place to be to take a break from tent/dispersed camping!
