The tent platforms were easy to get to and spaced far enough apart for privacy and generally a nice break from setting up a tent on a gravel pad.

Nestled in the back of our property, accessible via a horseshoe-shaped driveway, this dedicated camping spot awaits you. Please note that a 4WD/high clearance vehicle is essential for winter access, and rigs over 25' will not fit. We have a nice long pull-in with full hookups on our one-acre property. It is fully fenced and we are happy to accept pets. We are in a rural neighborhood setting and my husband and I do live on the property in the small green house you can see in the photos. There are houses around; it's not a secluded wilderness spot. We've been RVing for seven years (two of them full-time) and hiking and camping for many more. We're happy to provide local recommendations or to help you out with your rig if you're new.
Our home is conveniently located approximately 35 minutes from Boulder or Nederland, 45 minutes from Eldora for skiing enthusiasts, 25 minutes from the Longs Peak Trailhead, and 45 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. We have hiking trails directly from the backyard.

Welcome to our charming 2-acre meadow nestled in East Boulder. Just minutes from town - near bike trails, shops and restaurants. A great pitstop on your way to or from the mountains - or base camp for the adventures in Front Range. We aren't fancy, but we are convenient, cozy and safe. Gate code will be provided 48 hours before arrival.
We have spots in the meadow for Tents, Motorhomes, Vans, Trailers, and Rooftop setups. The grounds are a bit sloped but we've got leveling boards (please leave them behind).
We've got the world's best eggs, a few walking paths through tall wild grasses, a campfire ring, solar shower, and a lovely porta-jon.
We can handle RVs up to 45 feet - truck and trailer. It’s a big field, but a narrow, winding and steep gravel ramp to get in and out.
We have a community fire pit with free burn wood, though the big logs are few and far between; your own firewood is recommended - as well as an ax or saw. If it's windy, please skip the fire... the BFD is very strict about this!!
We have well water feeding a solar shower (only hot when the sun shines) and sink (non potable unless you have a filter).
We have a wading / dog pool continually refreshed from the creek. It’s a saving grace in the summertime. - CLOSED UNTIL THE SUMMER
Please help yourself to eggs up at the coop - look for the Venmo QR. The chickens free range during the day, so please MIND YOUR DOG.
THE GOOD:
*Easy in and out location close to town
*Lots of sun
*Outdoor solar shower
*Cold creek water plunge pool
*Fresh eggs
*Good view of small airplanes
*Community fire pit
THE BAD:
*Mosquitoes... they haven’t arrived yet but come early summer they can be rough
*Daytime road noise
*Small airport nearby
*No Generators
*Almost zero shade
*Shower only hot when the sun shines
*Pool is fed from a creek which is not running yet
*Good Morning Rooster
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Safe travels!

🌲 Glen Isle Campgrounds – A Historic Riverside Retreat
Welcome to Glen Isle, a 125-year-old mountain resort along the North Fork of the South Platte River, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally reached by train, Glen Isle remains one of Colorado’s last surviving turn-of-the-century resort properties and offers a camping experience rich in history, natural beauty, and community.
Because Highway 285 follows the original railroad corridor that once brought visitors here, it runs nearby. We encourage guests to review the map before booking to be sure our location is the right fit for their camping style. Many guests appreciate the easy access along with the beauty of the river, surrounding forest, and nearby mountain trails.
🎣 Activities & Amenities
Campers enjoy:
• Fishing along the South Platte (no rod fees required)
• A 21-hole wooded disc golf course (free for campers)
• Rescue horses, miniature donkeys, and miniature goats
• Optional guided mini-donkey walks (paid experience)
• Bingo nights, camper music nights, and outdoor movie evenings (when scheduled)
• Recreation room with games
• Guided historic lodge tours and gift shop
• Tuesday Food Truck nights
• Trailhead ½ mile behind the property
• Walking distance to the Coney Island hot dog stand
• About 30 miles from Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Glen Isle is a historic gathering place rather than a remote backcountry campground, and guests may see other campers and activity around the lodge, especially on summer weekends. Seasonal insects are part of the natural river environment during warmer months.
Campsites are currently first-come, first-served within designated camping areas as we transition toward reservable individual sites.
🔥 Fire Policy
Due to drought conditions and wildfire risk, wood fires and charcoal are not permitted. Propane fire rings and cooking equipment are welcome. Propane tanks are available to rent for $25. A community fire ring may be used when restrictions allow.
🚗 Important Arrival Note
Please do not turn at the Coney Island Boardwalk. Glen Isle is located ½ mile farther west on the same side of Highway 285. The road behind Coney Island is not maintained for passenger vehicles and should not be used to access the property.

Welcome to our charming 2-acre meadow nestled in East Boulder. Just minutes from town - near bike trails, shops and restaurants. A great pitstop on your way to or from the mountains - or base camp for the adventures in Front Range. We aren't fancy, but we are convenient, cozy and safe. Gate code will be provided 48 hours before arrival.
We have spots in the meadow for Tents, Motorhomes, Vans, Trailers, and Rooftop setups. The grounds are a bit sloped but we've got leveling boards (please leave them behind).
We've got the world's best eggs, a few walking paths through tall wild grasses, a campfire ring, solar shower, and a lovely porta-jon.
We can handle RVs up to 45 feet - truck and trailer. It’s a big field, but a narrow, winding and steep gravel ramp to get in and out.
We have a community fire pit with free burn wood, though the big logs are few and far between; your own firewood is recommended - as well as an ax or saw. If it's windy, please skip the fire... the BFD is very strict about this!!
We have well water feeding a solar shower (only hot when the sun shines) and sink (non potable unless you have a filter).
We have a wading / dog pool continually refreshed from the creek. It’s a saving grace in the summertime. - CLOSED UNTIL THE SUMMER
Please help yourself to eggs up at the coop - look for the Venmo QR. The chickens free range during the day, so please MIND YOUR DOG.
THE GOOD:
*Easy in and out location close to town
*Lots of sun
*Outdoor solar shower
*Cold creek water plunge pool
*Fresh eggs
*Good view of small airplanes
*Community fire pit
THE BAD:
*Mosquitoes... they haven’t arrived yet but come early summer they can be rough
*Daytime road noise
*Small airport nearby
*No Generators
*Almost zero shade
*Shower only hot when the sun shines
*Pool is fed from a creek which is not running yet
*Good Morning Rooster
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Safe travels!
Sincerely,
Brooke & Patrick

I live in a safe, quiet area between the city and the mountains (15min either way) with a nice big driveway to park your rig w/electric & WiFi. I loved the nomad life on the road for 2 years before settling here so I know how hard it is to find accessible, affordable, remote work friendly spots in Denver. The backyard is fenced in so if you have dogs that are fine with other dogs, they are welcome to play out there with my pups. Happy to give you recs on the city, hikes, let me know what you need ❤️

🌲 Glen Isle Campgrounds – A Historic Riverside Retreat
Welcome to Glen Isle, a 125-year-old mountain resort along the North Fork of the South Platte River, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally reached by train, Glen Isle remains one of Colorado’s last surviving turn-of-the-century resort properties and offers a camping experience rich in history, natural beauty, and community.
Because Highway 285 follows the original railroad corridor that once brought visitors here, it runs nearby. We encourage guests to review the map before booking to be sure our location is the right fit for their camping style. Many guests appreciate the easy access along with the beauty of the river, surrounding forest, and nearby mountain trails.
🎣 Activities & Amenities
Campers enjoy:
• Fishing along the South Platte (no rod fees required)
• A 21-hole wooded disc golf course (free for campers)
• Rescue horses, miniature donkeys, and miniature goats
• Optional guided mini-donkey walks (paid experience)
• Bingo nights, camper music nights, and outdoor movie evenings (when scheduled)
• Recreation room with games
• Guided historic lodge tours and gift shop
• Tuesday Food Truck nights
• Trailhead ½ mile behind the property
• Walking distance to the Coney Island hot dog stand
• About 30 miles from Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Glen Isle is a historic gathering place rather than a remote backcountry campground, and guests may see other campers and activity around the lodge, especially on summer weekends. Seasonal insects are part of the natural river environment during warmer months.
Campsites are currently first-come, first-served within designated camping areas as we transition toward reservable individual sites.
🔥 Fire Policy
Due to drought conditions and wildfire risk, wood fires and charcoal are not permitted. Propane fire rings and cooking equipment are welcome. Propane tanks are available to rent for $25. A community fire ring may be used when restrictions allow.
🚗 Important Arrival Note
Please do not turn at the Coney Island Boardwalk. Glen Isle is located ½ mile farther west on the same side of Highway 285. The road behind Coney Island is not maintained for passenger vehicles and should not be used to access the property.

I loved staying on Jeff’s land! The area is gorgeous. The campsites are well-maintained and well-spaced so that you don’t feel like you are right on top of your neighbors. I didn’t utilize them, but I saw that there is disc golf and a small dog park within the camping area. There are miles of trails and dirt roads to hike and explore. Highly recommended and I will definitely be staying again.

We did not have any trouble finding the campground, like some of the past reviews said. We did go in the daytime-so I could understand how some were lost. But we did have their instructions downloaded prior to going because there was indeed, no service. Followed their instructions exactly and boom we were there in a jiffy. Another camper had some trouble finding their site (they were in sites A,B, or C) and it was directly across from site RV2. We opened the rolling gate for them, and they got in just fine. The owners were very generous and offered a bbq sized propane tank, thank goodness we took it because it was a chilly one! But wonderful stay and very little disturbances, great way to unplug and wind down. Wish we could had stayed for longer!

I brought my Revel to Sabin’s property and had the best time. She and her husband are SO KIND, I felt so welcomed and as a solo woman traveler felt very safe too. It was a safe place for my furry babes to stretch their legs and hang off leash, they really loved the pond. The area is so, so quiet. I got so much r&r. I camped at the tail end of winter so facilities like bathroom and shower were still winterized, so I can’t speak to them, but I will be back for sure purely for the vibes alone! You can tell they pour lots of love onto their land. Grateful for the stay!

We had a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed how spread out all the sites were. As the name suggests - very serene! We had nice shade, plenty of space, and privacy at our spot. We took a short wander up the hill to beautiful meadows and mountain views. Compared to our usual camping spots - This was lower altitude and super easy to get to from Denver (without compromising on views). Also, the host Jeff is incredibly nice and helpful! We'll definitely return!

Grayson and Tina were amazing. It was our first time with our new camper, and they took “host” to a whole new level. They helped us hook up, showed us the ropes, and even helped us troubleshoot. I’m absolutely amazed by their level of support. The space was beautiful, thank you both for ann incredible weekend!

Camped over the weekend at Site B with my wife, toddler and a puppy. It was such an amazing trip and very peaceful. The site couldn’t be better for a family and having the space with no one near is a huge plus. Feels like you are very far from the hustle and bustle. Also not far from the South Platte for some river time and fishing.
Thom was very kind and responsive, a great camp host.
We look forward to our next stay at the ranch which will no doubt be soon!
Thanks Nancy & Thom

This spot is a hidden homestead gem in the heart of the Denver-metro area. Paul is a wonderful host whose friendly and quick responses make you right at home. The goat (Jeb) is a top notch neighbor and loves when you share snacks. We would definitely visit again 😊

We stayed in the car camping area at Idaho Springs RV Resort & Campground while passing through, and overall had a good experience. The car camping section is essentially a parking-lot style setup, but each space was large enough to comfortably fit a bigger vehicle, and you do have the option to add electric which is nice if you need it. None of the spots are perfectly level, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re car camping or sleeping in your vehicle. That said, the main reason we stopped was to shower and get some rest, and the bathhouse was great; clean, hot showers, and well maintained with a coded door so you feel safer inside. For $30, it worked well for what we needed. It was a safe place to park, sleep, and refresh before getting back on the road. If you’re traveling through the area and need a simple overnight stop with good facilities, it’s a solid option.

The folks @ A-Lodge were the best! They are super responsive on their text chat almost anytime of the day/night. They extended our stay one more night very quickly just over chat when decided we were not ready yet to say goodbye to our kids in Boulder. We were able to snag the same spot from the night before so getting in later after dinner in Boulder was super easy for us. The lodge is really nice and so were the restrooms and showers. Snowed our first night and the view of the property was very special. We were able to fall asleep to the sound of the creek next to our RV spot #2. Would book back here in a heartbeat. Thanks again to all who helped us on first camper van trip. Starting here made the rest of our week that much easier.
