Great staff and site! Only issues were that the wifi didn’t reach our RV site, and the showers closest to our site were closed.

I’ve been torn about leaving this review, not because anything was bad, but I almost want to keep this spot for myself! Eric’s land and camping spot was phenomenal. Great outdoor table, fire pit, and hookups. The amenities by the creek were the icing on the cake! Benches, fishing poles, you name it. This place was great. Eric was a gracious host and checked in with us each day through the app without being intrusive.
The parking spot could be a bit difficult to get into for longer campers or inexperienced drivers. I have a decent amount of experience and it took me a couple of tries.
Quick access to I70 and good food nearby but Eric had everything we could’ve possibly needed at camp. Such a great weekend!

This was a fantastic spot! Easy access from the highway, yet secluded and peaceful. Eric was a great host. I will definitely book again when we pass thru Colorado!

Like a lot of experiences - as long as you know what you’re getting into and manage your expectations, you will have a pleasant stay.
Much of the “oasis” is a work in progress as things are getting cleaned up. Currently it looks like more of a graveyard than storage area for RVs and autos. But if you can look past that you will enjoy a beautiful view of the lake, purple lupine in the foreground and snow-capped mountains in the background. The entrance and site are hard packed gravel and each site has a small concrete pad. The water line is about 300 feet out, so if there used to be docks or a marina here it was with different water levels. Even though it sits right on the highway, it was very quiet at night and we were usually gone during the day.
Good communication from the host. He’s quick to respond and was flexible when we needed to adjust our travel dates.
The biggest pro is location, location, location. Close to Grand Lake and the west entrance to RMNP. Soak in Hot Sulphur Springs 20 minutes away. Granby and the main grocery store, City Market, is 15 minutes. Lots of boating options nearby.
We look forward to seeing what it looks like the next time we pass through!
