Such a nice site with so many things provided - helped our out-of-towners pack more efficiently! We loved the views, the peace and quiet, and the nice areas like the tent and deck. We will definitely be back!

We had a great birthday weekend here! Beautiful views and very private. We appreciated all the little things left for guests to use like the hammock :)

We've stayed at Jolene's place a couple times now and absolutely love it. Beautiful space with lots of privacy and the new wall tent was a great space to hang out in during the rain.

2 nights at Wonderlust Off-Grid Camper
Beautiful space and environment! Just enough of everything you need. Moon rise was exceptional. Reservoir nearby was amazing! Spent most of our time outside which was nice. The heater was perfect!

This place is so beautiful and secluded. We went early september and it was a bit cold but there was a heater that warmed the tent. Super resourceful spot! Favorite spot to camp!

What a cool experience! I hadn’t been able to go star gazing in forever since moving to Denver. Not only does John have an incredible night sky above his land, he’s also incredibly knowledgeable and a bona fide celestial tour guide. Whether you’re coming with curious kiddos or enthusiastic adults, you’ll have a great time.

Absolutely loved this experience. Nice small group of people. Large open area with great views. The stargazing combined with the education of what we were seeing was fantastic. Will definitely be doing this again.

The experience was so much more than I expected! John is so knowledgeable about the sky! I learned so much when I was just expecting to look at stars.

We absolutely love this Hipcamp. We are grateful to have stayed at this Hipcamp a few times and you can see the owner’s pride in their land as they continue to improve the property. The land is gorgeous, it is easy to get to in your vehicle, and it is quiet. While we did not plan to use the tent on property, we did notice that it was locked with cables to the floor, so we assumed that was not for our use. We did take advantage of setting up our camp chairs on the lower open platform. Beautiful view!

We loved the fact that our dogs were able to run free and we did not see another human! The bed is comfortable and there was plenty of space for two of us and our many dogs!

I had an amazing time staying at this campsite! After the sun went down, we got to use a telescope and learn all about the stars and constellations. It was such a cool experience—peaceful, fun, and really eye-opening.
Camping here isn’t just about enjoying nature, it’s also about connecting with the night sky in a way you don’t usually get to. I left feeling relaxed, inspired, and already looking forward to coming back again.

Had such an awesome time with John out on his property. Everything was perfect from a great place for my dog to run to John walking us through the constellations at night. I’ll be back again!

The site was beautiful. We happened to go there when a storm was rolling through but John stayed up late to wait for the clouds to pass and showed us some really cool things with his telescope. He was very knowledgeable and it was a great experience.

Great site for our family camping trip! Views were incredible. Our dog loved the open space for running. A cow wandering by woke us up in the morning, which the kids got a kick out of. Would definitely come back again.

What a wonderful stay! The scenery is breathtaking, and it's close to a few state parks. At night the sky is OUTSTANDING. John is an absolute treasure and a wealth of knowledge. You can really tell that he is doing what he loves. I cannot say enough good things, and I will definitely be coming back.

We had an incredible time at John’s camp. He was not only incredible hospitable and friendly, but his knowledge on astronomy was impressive. We came specifically to see the Perseid Meteor shower and even with a bright moon, we got to see them! The kids were so excited and our time there was absolutely magic. I want to come back when there’s a new moon :)
