I really enjoyed camping at Sudden Valley. I was looking to get away from everything and a public campground is usually too close to your neighbors. I wanted solitude. The Top of the Ridge site was perfect. The site is tucked back into the woods with was plenty of room to spread out with multiple tent sites in that area to choose from - tucked into the trees or out in the open. It would be great for a family with a couple of tents and still have room for games like corn hole or washers. I’ll probably bring my grandkids next summer. Randy got me set up with firewood and the scoop on the property, then I wasn’t bothered the rest of my trip, well, except for Molly, one of their dogs, that dropped by for a visit each morning for a quick pet.

We had an amazing time, even though there was unexpected rain and a freeze warning…we will definitely be coming back when the weather is warmer!! The campgrounds were very spacious and private. The supplies were well stocked, they think of everything you could need! The horses were so cute, and my kids loved the turkeys. We can’t wait to come back!!

Excellent signage and information for all the campsites. Location is quiet but easy to access. Campsite was clean and organized. Lots of additional items provided you wouldn't normally expect. Plenty of firewood. I would recommend to anyone

We enjoyed our stay at The Top of the Ridge campsite! It was very quiet and peaceful, and Randy made sure we had everything we needed. There was plenty of firewood at the campsite and we utilized the Weber charcoal grill as well.

Sudden Valley Ranch is a gorgeous retreat from the norm. Our stay was wonderful and the ranch is a beautiful place to unwind and recharge. I am so grateful to the hosts for sharing their little slice of heaven with us. I will definitely be back.

I found the site On Top of the Ridge to be a wonderful place to tent camp. There was a table, plenty of firewood, a cabinet with camping supplies and an awesome private outhouse just for this campsite. It was a short walk to visit the horses. The whole farm with multiple barns, fields, trails and really beautiful horses was well maintained. The owner was so gracious and welcoming. It was an easy drive from the interstate on my way from Nashville to Denver.

This was one of the most beautiful campsites we’ve experienced. It was quiet. We were secluded. The view of the lake and the hills was mesmerizing. We got up just a little early to watch the sun come up. Katie was friendly and accommodating. Free Fire Wood - YAY! We will be back.

We enjoyed our stay in Cabin #2 @ Peacetree Farm. Katie was a wonderful host. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and our room had nice cool A/C with a serene view into the woods. They were welcoming of our dog and had a goofy kitten that came to play with her frequently. Stargazing was amazing; being in such a remote location and far from any major city lights. We saw several shooting stars and could clearly see the Milky Way. We walked the 1-mile loop around the gorgeous 7 acre lake and saw some breathtaking views along the way. We relaxed by the water and did some fishing - we didn't catch any but we saw another group pulling out a few good sized fish. There weren't a lot of other campers there and everyone was spread out over the property so it felt like we mostly had the place to ourselves. We had our own fire pit (wood provided) with chairs provided and also had access to our own charcoal grill. We had access to a canoe and kayaks and had planned to paddle around the lake with our dog but ran out of time. We hope to go back again in the future. This was a wonderful getaway for us to relax in nature. I highly recommend this place if you're looking looking for a very peaceful getaway in a gorgeous remote location.

We loved camping on Hideaway Ridge at Sudden Valley! Randy greeted us and gave us a little history on their beautiful land. The horses were gorgeous, and their cutie dog Molly greeted us in the morning before we left. The outhouse was also super clean, and the supplies they had on hand were so helpful! Will be back!

First and foremost, Randy was great. I’m usually not a dog person, but Molly is cool totally and has “chill dog” vibes. She’s great.
This location is probably the largest campsite I’ve stayed at. It’s totally suitable for families or groups. You could easily get 4 tents in there, with room to spare if desired. The space is insulated by loads of trees and forest, so you’ll have plenty of privacy. If you have a pensive camper or someone who hasn’t done a lot of camping, this would be a great gateway drug to the backcountry, as you’ll feel somewhat isolated while not being that far off the pavement.
There’s a ton of deadfall all around, so firewood isn’t an issue. I had a small handsaw and that was perfect. There was a big pile of firewood to get you going (worked out well since I was moving slow anyway) and a large fire pit to keep everything contained.
This site also has the best vault toilet I’ve used, ever. It’s all painted up, sealed, and clean. They even have motion sensor lights that kick on after dark so you can see what you’re doing in there. This was so important as my back was in pain and being able to sit down on something large and stable was necessary.
This campsite was remote and quiet enough to be peaceful, while also having comfort items like well water and a toilet, that made it both pleasant and accessible for someone with disabilities.
It’s only an hour away, so I hope to comeback when the creek is running. Thanks folks!

Dennis was there to greet us and assist with backing in and plugging up. It was a great spot for a night or a few nights. We enjoyed the creek/brook right along the property. The wifi worked well. He cuts a path along the property that you can take a walk on and take your dogs. We would stay again when passing through.
