Weekend Trip to M and V's Mountain Paradise

This was the perfect spot to reset and plug in for the night. The view was beautiful in the morning for some photos. The hosts were completely friendly and walked us through the hook up process.

Beautiful area. Tricky to back into the spot and wish it was more level. Thanks for the firewood.

All set up with plenty of room - my dog loves that he’s got privacy to hang outside without other dogs walking by

This is my second stay here and loved it just as much the second time around. I’m in a 20foot travel trailer and it fit great. All amenities worked perfectly and the site is just so clean and private. There is nothing like stepping out the door right into a grove of aspens. So peaceful!

This was our first Hipcamp experience and we were pleased. Easy to get to and well maintained. It was perfect for our sprinter van. A bonus was electrical hookup. the solitude was needed.

Simple campsite for a quick stay. The campsite is a gravel drive in the front yard of a home in a rural neighborhood. Active wildlife in the area. We had a deer run by the tent and heard elk calls at night. It's more of an RV spot with an electric hook-up, but does suffice for a quick, overnight stay. Be sure to use the bathroom before you show!

This camp was INCREDIBLE!! Clean… soooo many wonderful amenities! After two weeks of camping, hiking, etc… the lovely flush bathrooms and the free hot, wonderful showers were awesome! The best part??… THE HOSTS! Betty & Albert could not be more helpful, friendly, and accommodating! They keep that camp spotless! I can’t say enough good things about RAMBLE!! It’s also just a short drive from Mesa Verde… very pet friendly… and quiet!

We really enjoyed our stay at Martha's Hip Camp. Full hook-ups, surrounded by nature so good privacy, and lots of room to manuever. The site wasn't that level but she provides plenty of paver stones that made it work. Great location with lots of opportunity to hike, fish, and enjoy the beautiful landscape. We'll definitely be back in the near future.

1 night at The Aspen Camp

This campsite was an absolute slice of heaven and, without a doubt, the most magical Hipcamp site where we have ever stayed. Tucked away high in the mountains, the site is perfectly situated adjacent a serene aspen grove with a picnic table where we ate our meals. The air is crisp and clean, and the sound of the quaking leaves rustling in the breeze created a peaceful soundtrack. Staying at The Aspens was about half the price of the local RV parks, but it had all the ammenities as advertised, and we topped off power and water during our stay. This spot is the perfect escape for anyone looking to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life and reconnect with nature. I can't recommend this campsite enough. We're already planning my return trip!

Great spot to stay in while enjoying Durango and Mesa Verde! You are parked in their “front yard”, by don’t let that fact dissuade you. The views from our camper made us feel like we were in the woods, and yet we were very close to town. Chris and his wife were excellent hosts. He gave us ideas on where to eat (11th Street Station was great) and other local activities to enjoy.

This site was perfect for our one night stay in Silverton. We loved being able to walk into town, it's a quiet neighborhood and the surroundings are beautiful. The site is right by Artec's home but feels secluded with the little area of trees and seating area. Great stay!

This campsite is very quiet and peaceful. It is a 15 minute drive up a rock road from Hwy 50. While there is no view from the site, the area is very pretty with large aspen and Douglas fir trees. The site is rocked and clean with electric, water and sewer easily accessible. While others have mentioned it, the back in was not difficult. Martha was very helpful and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We will keep this on our list of places to return to!

Loved camping in this little spot on the edge of Silverton. Had everything we needed - good hookups and a nice shady spot in the aspens. Artec was a great host and super accommodating. Highly recommended.

We loved staying on Martha’s land. It’s very peaceful and with all the hookups made it a really nice place to stay. Love the scenic drive and fishing. Loved watching the deer graze as well. Would definitely recommend campers to stay here.

The Darby RV site is a perfect full hookup camp and very private. It has everything I look for in a Hipcamp. The hookups are logically placed, and we had the camp to ourselves. The lot is tucked away in the mountains in a private community of cabins and RV sites. Our neighbors were barely visible and not in shouting distance. It’s far superior to a traditional campground. The community also has a lodge with a restaurant. We hope to return someday since our plans to visit the Black Canyon were foiled by a wildfire.
