Little Scraggy Camp is located on 95 acres of an historic 160-acre ranch that was homesteaded by our family in the 1890’s, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This totally off-grid ranch is surrounded by Pike National Forest, yet has easy access from a paved road. We offer several accommodations and glamping sites, as well as sites for moderate sized RVs, travel trailers, truck campers, vans, tents, and hammocks. Additionally, we have sites for small groups (up to 16 people) and large groups (35-200 people).
NEW FOR 2025 - two separate, professionally designed 18-hole disc golf courses with PDGA regulation baskets, and a Pro Shop with a free 9-hole putting course, which is great for those who have never played disc golf and want to try it out, (we have free loaner discs). Our Hipcamp guests get a 10% discount on player fees, their children play free.
Portable toilets are only a short walk away from sites. We also have several cornhole toss games set up. Friendly, well-mannered dogs are welcome to enjoy YOUR campsite off leash, but please clean up after your dog.
We are an ideal basecamp for hiking or biking trail enthusiasts,with direct access to the Little Scraggy Trail and Segment #3 of the Colorado Trail. Little Scraggy Trailhead is 3.5 miles away, with easy access for biking, hiking, or horseback riding on the many other trails of the Buffalo Creek area.
You might prefer rock climbing Little Scraggy or fishing the gold-medal waters of the South Platte River canyon below Cheesman Dam and the waters near Deckers. For a day trip, Wellington Lake is only 30 minutes away for no-wake water sports. Many people enjoy kayaking on the North Fork of the South Platte downstream from nearby Buffalo Creek.
This is a working ranch where we raise and train Shire draft horses and also ponies. Our particular interest is in carriage driving, and we offer driving experiences upon request.

Little Gem Lodge is privately located an hour outside of Denver with ~30 mins drive to Golden Gate Canyon, El Dora and Black Hawk casinos with a private hot tub!
The Lodge appeals to outdoor adventure enthusiasts, skiers/boarders, city dwellers seeking peace, healing space, digital nomads and families.
Explore local small towns Rollinsville, Nederland, Wondervu. Bypass I70 ski traffic to access major resorts or X Country rec parks and amazing hikes. ~1 hour to RMNP, Georgetown Train, Ward.
The space
The house is located on an acre of land in Black Hawk, CO which is about an hour outside of Denver just past the Golden Gate Canyon State Park. The surrounding area has amazing Mountain Views and you can drive to the town of Black Hawk for dinner/Casinos in about 20 minutes (depending on the weather), to Rollinsville in about 20 minutes in the other direction, or to El Dora in about 30 minutes.
Given that it takes about 20 minutes to get to any neighboring small town, note that the house location is remote. It is located in a residential neighborhood where most houses are on an acre of land. Because of that, sound travels very easily so while it is usually quiet, you can easily hear dogs barking or music.
Guests love that this space is PRIVATE on an entire acre of land without any street noise. Enjoy this beautiful home without worrying about where or when you have to be somewhere.
Black Hawk - have your own private space and hot tub & escape some of the madness of staying at the casinos by opting to stay at Little Gem Lodge!
Small Towns (Rollinsville, Nederland, Black Hawk, Wondervu, Idaho Springs) - there are lots of cute local restaurants and breweries in each of these towns.
Hiking + Cross Country Ski/Rec Areas - You have close access to Golden Gate Canyon State Park, St Mary's Glacier, Rocky Mountain National Park (~1-1.5 hours), 14ers. It's an awesome outdoor enthusiast location in any season because of its proximity to the mountains and state parks.
You will have access to the entire house. It’s two stories with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main level and one bedroom/one bathroom on the second level.
Other things to note
Dirt roads lead to the property that require at a minimum an AWD or 4x4 vehicle.
Pet fee must be added under "Extras".

Weekend Trip to Urban Camping Near Denver
Awesome and perfect!! My best friend and I wanted to see some music and not have to drive back to Winter Park, neither of us like getting a hotel room. This was the perfect alternative and wish we had more time to enjoy.

Group trip
Such a beautiful property, sites are spread out plenty of walking trails and hiking in the area, including on the grounds. The cabin was well appointed with all the necessities. I suggest making sure you bring a garbage bag and any other things that you typically like to have at home to the cabin. Plenty of utensils, plates, bowls, spices, and other handy items. The half barrel fire pit was perfect for the evening campfires with s’mores there is also a corner store 6 miles away in Decker’s in case you forget anything. Everyone was friendly. We were able to play frisbee on the road in front of our campsite, which was a lot of fun. Very peaceful in the evenings starting around nine or 10 o’clock until morning time beautiful view of the sky. I recommend if you’re interested in a great camping spot with beautiful surroundings and scenery. Terri is a great host who is very informative with directions and accommodating. We’ll be back again!

We had an amazing weekend get away at this property. We even saw a momma and baby moose right outside the side deck near the hot tub! We were very comfortable and enjoyed our time here. Melinda was a great host and checked in with us to see if there was anything we needed. My husband commented on how comfortable the master bed was. I was worried that going to Black Hawk with kids may not be enjoyable. But there happened to be the county fair the weekend we went. We also took the kids to the Hidee Mine tour.
