We had a wonderful time staying here! The land is gorgeous and it was easy to find a great campsite. Perfect for rustic dispersed camping and close to lots of wonderful nature in this corner of Colorado. Would love to stay again!

It was BEAUTIFUL!! The thing that stood out the most was the blanket of stars we got to enjoy for the night. It was incredible peaceful and clean. We loved it here!! Highly recommend

Perfect desert style camping! Bring your own shade! ☀️ Thank you for providing water with large tank for the unbeatable camping bathroom experience! A flush toilet and a HOT shower under the incredible starry skies are unmatched! The lake is a 3 min drive or a small hike away. You cannot swim in this lake but there's plenty of beach and you can still fish and be on-water! The small town aboit 12 mins away is perfect for any last minute or forgotten quick grabs.
A perfect get away without getting too far away!

We had a great time. This is a great location with a beatiful view. This is the second time we've stayed at Campe Diem. I would use this spot again if I come this way in the future.

Great spot lots of room. Heard other campers but didn't really see anyone and still felt pretty secluded. Excellent hiking!

the dispersed camping was great… plenty of privacy. I love the sagebrush landscape and the mountain views. we’ve stayed at Campe Diem twice so far and will likely be back next time we’re in the area.

Great location. Away from most things but easy to get to some populated places.
The host was friendly and helpful without being overbearing.
Dedication to LNT and treating the land with respect.
