Campers appreciate the serene environment, the opportunity to interact with farm animals, and the well-maintained amenities. The ranch is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat with activities like horseback riding and goat walking. However, some guests noted issues with the check-in process and site arrangements, which could impact the overall experience.

Laura's place was such a find! We stayed for our first night of our trip to the Rockies and Laura went above and beyond, offering us a prime spot for the view of the mountains in the morning and for my 6 year old to maximise seeing the animals on the ranch. Unforgettable memories made. I couldn't recommend the spot highly enough. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us!

This place Amazing!! The house and the owner is so nice she is amazing and a wonderful person, she helped us with everything and gave a tour+ let us use the bathroom and her basement! And view and the animals were amazing and I would definitely go again to such a positive experience and place.
It’s a must to go there with family, or even by your self the experience will be memorable!

We had such a great time at Laura’s Rough Diamond Ranch! This is a heaven for people who love farm life, animals and nature. The view is beautiful, and Laura is super responsive and helpful! We really felt home here. Her hospitality is beyond expectations. We are a family of four with 2 little kids, everyone loved this place. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique experience inside a farm. Definitely would come back again :)

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Laura's ranch camping site with my family, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The range of amenities offered was fantastic, and everything was well-maintained and clean. The campsite provided a perfect blend of nature and comfort, making our stay both relaxing and enjoyable. The amazing nature of star arrays and lovely horses riding and training experience make us cannot wait for future visit.
The location was ideal, offering beautiful scenery and plenty of activities for everyone in the family. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the well-equipped kitchen area and the cozy fire pit, which made our evenings memorable.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this camping experience to anyone looking for a great family getaway.

As Laura went out to get supplies when we were about to check in, Alan helped us find our way to the meadow. He directed us there but didn't give us any instructions about the gates—how to open them, whether we needed to close them whatnot, or anything else. Additionally, there were no water jugs prepared until very late night. And guess what? This is a message what I received from Laura after checking out. How hilarious. I'm wondering if she only treats us poorly because I wouldn’t use "WTF" to the guests without first understanding what happened. Oh well, good luck to anyone who visits her meadow.🤷♀️

The drive to this property was absolutely stunning. While it could be a really great destination, the check-in process needs work. We were sent to the wrong site twice, and when Laura finally showed up and asked for our names, we found out we weren’t in the meadow as planned. To make things worse, a party at our original site kept us up with noise until the early hours.
Our second site was near the entrance, so we were disturbed by other campers arriving at all hours. It wasn’t the peaceful escape we had hoped for, and we ended up leaving early since we would have had to move to another site anyway due to another booking.
If you’re into horseback riding, hiking, or biking, this place could work for you. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for families, as there’s not much for kids to do.
With some tweaks to the check-in process and better management of quiet hours, this could be a fantastic spot for a getaway.
