Welcome to Camp Rendezvouz! We are in Wyoming, on Highway 287 between Fort Collins, CO. and Laramie, WY. When you book, make sure you are committed as we have a strict cancellation policy. We are making this campground more for families and family reunions, or friends that want to be together yet have your own space. It’s high with trees and rocks, beautiful views and amazing starry nights. Camp sites 1 2 3 4 are fairly close together for a family or to circle the wagons. Very nice close hike to a creek. Camp site's 5 and 6 are secluded. They would be best for someone who is self contained, as they don’t have an outhouse nearby. Sites 7 8 9 have some seclusion. Site's 10 11 12 13 14 15 are perfect for families, where you can all be together but separate. We are a work in progress but we will try to accommodate anything you may need. Please talk to us! We have firewood $7.00 per bag delivered to your campsite. Do not bring your own firewood. We don’t want more pine beetles and noxious weeds. More than 2 vehicles per site $10.00 per vehicle per night. A vehicle pulling a trailer counts as 1. A motor home pulling a car or trailer counts as 1. We look forward to hosting you!

There is a flat graded area for tents with a picnic table. We ask that there are no fires except for gas (we are still traumatized by the East Troublesome Fire that was 200,000 plus acres. We did not burn here and we’d like to keep it that way. We also ask that there is no loud music because this is the wild animals’ home first, and the antelope and elk have new babies. We are very close to Granby for the grocery store, restaurants, and the Granby Flying Heels Rodeo. We are nearby to the west entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake, Hot Sulfur Springs Resort, Lake Granby and Fraser/Winter Park and all that Grand County Colorado has to offer.

We ended up staying at site 4 after the owner's recommendation and it was a nice big site with a firepit, a great view of the mountains, and lots of rocks/boulders for kids to explore. We did hear and could see the highway but we weren't right on top of it - need to go to sites 6 and on to avoid it. Had one issue with dogs barking at night that the owner replied to and is working on it. No picnic table but we always bring a portable one so there was no issue for us. The site fit a 16' camper as well as a camper van still with plenty of room for privacy for each camper. Would stay again.

I would absolutely recommend this place to those looking for a relaxing getaway. Owners were accommodating as well. Thank you for a great stay. Our 2 year also made new dog friends.

Weekend Trip to Logan Ranch Campground

This was truly an unbeatable campground for a large group! Beautiful scenery, spacious and private, lots of room for kids to explore and roam. We will absolutely be back. My only complaint is that the two dogs that live on the property (which were super friendly and the kids loved playing with) stole every piece of food from the picnic tables the moment we turned our backs, and more problematic was they came through at night and took every shoe and glove they could find around the tent sites and destroyed 5 or 6 pairs.

We loved tent-camping at this site. Our dogs especially loved exploring and meeting one of the friendly guardian dogs on property. Lots of cool rock formations. The cleanest portapotty I've ever been in was a quick walk up the road. A little more road noise from 287 than one would like when "getting away from it all," but nothing too bad and makes for an easy 2hr trip from Denver!

Our family had a delightful time camping here. Robert met us at the gate and graciously took us to our site to help us settle in. We loved exploring the land, climbing boulders, and watching epic sunsets. The roaming animals were a nice surprise -- we woke up to horses and a donkey outside our tent one morning, creating a lot of joy for our daughters. When our car battery wouldn't start, Robert jumped to the rescue to help us out. We had a lot of unforgettable memories staying here, and we look forward to returning soon.

What a treat this weekend! The camp sites are some of our favorites with plenty of space to roam and play without bumping into your neighbors. The friendly farm dogs would come check on you from time to time and the horses and donkey would roam and were very friendly. The views were incredible. There is a little self-serve store with ground beef, fruits, veggies and snacks from the farm. We couldn't have been happier with this decision.

Overall, we had a great experience at this hipcamp! Check-in and locating the campsite was easy. The directions were accurate. I wish there were bathrooms located closer to each campsite, as the portapotty was a long walk. Also, I thought there were picnic tables at each site? I could've just misread the listing. But a table would've been nice!
