Silver Sliver on St. Vrain River

1 site · RV1 acre · Bark Ranch, CO

Enjoy the soothing and therapeutic sounds of the ever-rippling and adjacent Mid St. Vrain river on this wonderfully tiny (2,200 SQ.FT), yet picture-perfect legal lot. Park your RV or Sprinter van on the site to rejuvenate the soul in only a 40 minute drive from Boulder. The parcel has easy access from it's private gated driveway and Xcel electric (Xcel to install any day now, currently not connected but soon) and 20MEG WiFi service availability. This site is very usable and beautiful being located right on the Mid St. Vrain River. This site is in flood plain but It sits high above the river, so little risk unless epic continuous days of rainfall. The property was the site of the local fire department garage and fire truck for 65+ years until they relocated up the street to construct a larger building on much bigger property. Rarely are river front camping lots available and if they do, many are a major hassle access-wise NOT this one. Please be courteous to the neighbors and keep the noise especially low by 9:00pm on the weekdays and 10pm on the weekends. This super convenient location is 100 yards across the intersection from the Town of Raymond elevation sign. It's a great spot, especially for bikers, kayakers or hikers....No doubt it's the a perfect landing pad to start or end a days adventure in the rockies...

Roosevelt National Forest

Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

One of the Snowbird campsites, along the Timber Lake trail. It was very well maintained. A bull moose walked through my campsite, twice! This is the closest campground to Timber Lake (1/4 mile up the trail) and is very convenient for a dayhike up Mount Ida.
