We had a great night at the Nomad Ranch! Angela’s place is perfect - she was so communicative and helpful with our last minute booking. The cabin is in a great location and you can’t beat the views. Was super clean upon arrival and we so appreciated the cold water Angela left out for us. We also loved the huge open windows and saw so many stars! Would definitely stay again.

The Starlite Vintage Campground & Resort was such a unique and fun experience! We stayed in the Firetruck Retro RV, and it was incredibly cool. Everything was spotless—from the campsite and concrete pad to the RV itself. The staff was some of the friendliest you’ll find this side of the Rocky Mountains, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind getaway, I highly recommend checking out Starlite. We can’t wait to come back!

Very clean property. Great clean showers as well. Only downside is that the heated pool isn’t operable during their winter period and neither are the showers inside the campers. However, they were responsive via text when I had questions. I’ll come back when it’s not off season and additional amenities are available.

Pristine little cabin. The wood smells so nice, even in the bathroom. Comfortable bed and seating area. The host provided water and we appreciated the heater too. There is lighting in the cabin and outhouse. We both agreed it felt a little uncomfortable having no curtains on the windows, but the view of the mountain in the morning (perfectly framed in the window) was gorgeous. It was very windy the night we stayed and this did cause the outhouse door to open and close and rattle around throughout the night. Just needs an outdoor latch to keep it still. Overall, we were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Weekend Trip to Starlite Vintage Resort

This was a great stop on my best friend reunion tour! We opted for a cabin and it was a cute, warm, clean and cozy little place. You don't have your own bathroom and have to walk to the common building for stalls and showers, but that was ok- it was clean and not too far away from the cabin. Be sure to peek in to the vintage "RV museum"- 3 restored RVs that are retro outfitted and fun to explore. The woman manning the check in/shop was super friendly and gave good recommendations for places in Cañon City, which is about 15 mins away. We were also pleased to be a short walk from the Gold Mine gem shop, full of beautiful things! In October the area is out of season, so it was pretty quiet, and we were happy with that! I would recommend Starlite for a welcoming glamping experience.
