100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
Fisher's Peak Ranch is a private community with 2 access gates. The rental camp site is approximately 3 miles into the ranch from the gate. The first 2 miles are well maintained ranch roads, with the last leg climbing up to the top of my 35 acre ranch. Most of the year the road is fine, but heavy snow or rain has required a 4 wheel drive at times. You'll be overlooking the city of Trinidad, with an extremely stunning view of Fisher's Peak. Enjoy complete privacy as the site is on the end of a dedicated road. From the camp site, you'll be looking down at Simpsons Rest and the entire city of Trinidad. To the south, you can see parts of Raton Pass. Watch the clouds light up with the sunsets. You'll be taking lots of pictures, everyone does.The site is on top of the first mountain facing Fisher's Peak. You'll be looking directly down into Trinidad, Simpson's Rest, and parts of Raton Pass. There is power and plenty of cell signal for computers, entertainment, and important updates such as weather changes. The site has fresh gravel and room to turn around easily. It is also the end of Deer Canyon Drive, so there is NO traffic.

Buffalo Bluff
The camping spot was on a ridge overlooking Fishers Peak and the town of Trinidad. The location was beautiful and I felt very safe. My son and I were camping in a pop-up tent on the back of his truck. The only thing that surprised me was that I could still hear the sound of the highway well below us. It didn't keep us from sleeping, but it was unexpected. I'd stay there again -especially if we were in our enclosed little buggy tow-behind. The spot was level and plenty of room to spread out and explore. The road up the hill could be problematic with a long camper. The only thing I would add is a sign or market at the campsite to indicate we had arrived at the correct spot.

Beautiful campsite! We had a little trouble finding it but we were driving there at night. Was a perfect campsite and had such a beautiful sunrise in the morning! Kevin was very communicative and helped us out when we got lost on the way up!

We were exhausted from driving and needed a break. We found Kevin’s land and couldn’t be happier. The views were beautiful and directions were clear. We’ve saved this location for future trips. Kevin was a great host!
