Best Hipcamps in Colorado
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2025.
Near Rocky Mountain National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the Moraine Park Discovery Center.
Off-lead friendly
Pets can be off-lead at some pitches.
Located perfectly between Boulder, Nederland, and Rocky Mountain National Park, and very close to other stunning hikes, this spot is a great landing pad to have easy access to some of the most beautiful places in the Rockies as well as offering it's own breathtaking scenery. This land is the sacred land of the Arapaho tribe. Chief Niwot and his tribe spent winters here. It is a very special place. The property is a mile long so there is plenty of space with the tent sites being 1/2 mile from the yurt and separate entries for each. There are currently 3 tents sites available, a bell tent, and a yurt. Please read the entire description for your specific site before booking.

Canyonland Bliss

(121)
Tent site · Sleeps 4
This is the perfect location on 42 beautiful acres surrounded by National Forest, 20 minutes from Boulder, 45 from Rocky Mountain National Park, and very close to Brainard Lake recreation area, Rainbow Lakes Trail, and Switzerland Trail. A beautiful creek runs through the camping area and you can also listen to the tranquil sounds of the Aspen trees. Have dinner in Boulder one night and spend the day in Rocky Mountain National Park the next. (Don't forget your timed reservation permit.) This primitive tent camp site is about 50 yards from where you will park so more ideal for people who like to travel light. This site shares an entrance with two other camp sites that use the same bridge for access. The other sites are about 25-50 yards away with plenty of trees in between the sites and there is a yurt about 1/4 mile west down the trail. There are no artificial lights, no power, and no signal. There is room at this site for one four person tent. Please message me in advance if you would like to have more than one tent or a larger tent.

Enchanted Canyon

(107)
Tent site · Sleeps 6
Enchanted Canyon is a  beautiful Pine and Aspen filled site with a creek meandering through and the canyon walls rising beautifully on all sides. Situated 25 minutes from downtown Boulder, 45 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, 10 minutes from Brainard Lake Recreation area, 20 minutes from Nederland and just generally surrounded on all sides by a plethora of amazing hikes and situations. This is the sacred land of the Arapaho. This site is for tent camping. It's big enough for plenty of stuff but the parking is in a pullout off the road and you will have to walk across a short bridge to the campsite. Two other campsites have this same entrance but the nearest other site is about 50 yards away and both sites are surrounded by trees giving them a lot of privacy. The "bathroom" is a privacy tent with a Luggable Loo inside and biogel bags. There is no signal at the site and there is no artificial light. Pictures of photo IDs for adults must be received within 24 hours of booking as well as confirmation that the rules have been read. The "bathroom" is a privacy tent with a luggable loo inside and biogel bags available for purchase which you will have to pack out with your trash.

River's Edge

Tent site · Sleeps 2
River's Edge is beautifully nestled in the Canyon and is surrounded on 3 sides by water so you will be soothed to sleep by the babbling creek right outside your door. This site is better suited to experienced campers and can only accommodate a small 2 or possibly 4 person tent. This site is the furthest down of the 3 tent sites here and requires you walk with your stuff through a rocky area about 100 yards to the site so you will need to pack light for this one. There is no signal and no power.

Yurt · Sleeps 7 · 2 beds · 1 toilet
Connect with sacred nature in this beautiful authentic 26 ft Mongolian Ger (if it were square it would be nearly 600 sq ft) on 42 gorgeous private acres surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest with a meandering creek just outside. The space is ideally situated 20 minutes from Boulder, 20 minutes from Nederland, 45 minutes from the main entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park (even closer to other entrances) and 15 minutes from Brainard Lake Recreation Area. There are other campers on the property 1/2 mile down the creek (please do not disturb the campers there). Parking is in a pullout off the road and two small creeks are crossed to access the yurt which is about 50 yards from the parking space. There is a camp stove, large pan, dutch oven, tea pot , utensils , plates and bowls for 4 people, 3 camp chairs, a kitchen table with 3 chairs, a picnic table and a cooler. There is one full size bed and one full size futon on the floor that is propped up so it can be used for sitting and can be pulled flat to be used as a bed. Please return the futon to it's original position if you pull it flat .There is no power and there is no signal out here but there is a lantern and string lights.. The toilet is an OGO with Reliance Biogel bags (you can google these to see what they are) in a space just outside the Ger. There is a fire pit east of the Ger. There are places on the property that still need clean up from the previous owner and there is a place nearby in the National Forest where someone was illegally building so steer clear of there if it bothers you (it's not near the Ger). This is a traditional Mongolian Ger so the walls are made of wool and sometimes you can smell the wool. You can leave the door open to air it out if you would like, with the two smaller doors closed in the times of year when there are bugs. The platform needs some work due to being built by a bad contractor and the will be rebuilt in the fall. The space is a work in progress. Please DO NOT book unless you are prepared to be responsible for yourself, nature, and this traditional Mongolian Ger in the Rocky Mountains and you are ok with all of the details described here. To prevent cancellation of your booking you will need to provide a picture of your photo ID 24 hours prior to your stay

Great spot and easy to get to! Off the main road but road noise wasn’t too bad at night. Creak runs well and close by. Would totally come again!

Shawn did a great job making sure we were fully prepared for our time at the Yurt. Falling asleep to the sounds of the creek couldn’t be beat. A great way to spend our nights after fall hiking in the area.

Idyllic camping spot
Tent ·
Canyonland Bliss
This campsite a hidden gem. The location is very convenient if you want a closer destination that doesn’t take long to get to. The campsite was beautiful, tucked away in nature, surrounded by trees and flowing water, and secluded enough. The campsite was also set up nicely, with a flat and clear tent area and a great fire pit. The directions were easy to follow and extremely helpful. The host was great with communication and instructions.

Beautiful site. Right off the road on the other side of a small creek so the water helps buffer some road noise. Spacious and maintained very well. Lots of aspens in the area too.

My partner and I had a wonderful time during our two night stay. The ger is magical. Lots of space inside. The indoor wood-stove was so nice to use when it got a little chilly at night. We loved how much respect Shawn has for the ger and the land. This is a really beautiful spot.

River's Edge
Overall it was an alright experience, not as secluded as we thought it might be. We could see and hear the other campers nearby. The Riversedge location was near the creek and surrounded by three sides, it didn’t not leave much room for walking about/setting up the tent. Parking is tight and right against a fairly busy road with lots of motorist and cyclists. It is close by the Brainard Lake if you’re looking for some hiking options that are well maintained.

Beautiful camp site. Shawn was super helpful the entire time! We found a beautiful spot up a hill from the actual camp spot to hold my wedding ceremony! The sky was gorgeous and we have plenty of room to explore and be comfortable. My only complaint is the hill leading to the bridge was pretty steep. I would 100% come back! Thank you so much for the opportunity.

This spot was a calming location. It was my first time camping solo since my friend had to work last minute. Felt super safe and had nice neighbors with plenty of space in between sites. Only thing is I wish the road wasn’t so close to the sites, as you can hear traffic.

We loved our stay at Canyonland Bliss. Just secluded enough. Other campers around but far enough apart to where it wasn’t noisy. Loved having our own fire pit ! For the price we will for sure be back!

Labor Day Camping Success!
Tent · With pets ·
Canyonland Bliss
Directions were easy to follow and when we arrived at the camp the location was clean, including the Luggable Loo! There were a number of cinder blocks that really helped setup the kitchen. Tent area was almost perfectly flat, so everyone slept just fine. The other camp sites were separated enough that everyone had privacy. Given it was Labor Day weekend, we were excited to find a site like this was still available on short notice. Shawn was extremely helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Great campsite! My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. The creek was beautiful and we loved how spaced out all of the sites were. There was plenty of space for my 2 year old son to run around and explore. Definitely recommend!

I loved the site! It was easy to get to and absolutely beautiful. The creek is really close to the site and there's plenty of flat space for the tent. The weren't any other campers around us while we were there but even if there were we wouldn't be able to see them because of how much space there is between the sites. Definitely going to come back here in the future

This place is beautiful and such a lovely get away spot. The creek is such a lovely sound to fall asleep too and the spot is secluded while still being close to the road for easy access to your car.

River's Edge
It is a beautiful site. Well maintained with clearly marked sites. The “river” is more of a creek this time of year after all the snow has melted but still lovely and relaxing. It’s a bit close to the road so there is road noise depending on where you are on the land. However the river is between the camp sites and the road so no danger of a car running off the road and hitting you. All in all it’s good value for the money and a responsive owner.

Great spot among the Aspens! Easy to find, level spot, neighbours but not too close. Great fun collecting firewood for the fire pit, and wonderful wild flowers.

This is an excellent site. It’s far enough from the car to make it feel like you’re camping, but not too far to get back out if you forgot something. There is a slight view of the closest campsite, but the other campers and us felt like we’re out on our own. There’s water on three sides and it was easy to get to. Tempting to give it a bad reviews so we could have it to ourselves again sometime soon.

Perfect for our family of four, camping for the first time after a few years. The road was closer than I expected - you could hear the cars, but bc of how the spot is situated, you couldn’t see them, which was nice. And the sound of the cars were mostly drowned out by the lovely sounds of the creek flowing. I’d def recommend for a little close-by camping stay-cation!

Camping in a yurt!
Creekside Yurtopia
Huge space, but dark inside. Bring candles or additional lanterns. Cooler provides which is great. Cookware also provided along w/ some cooking oil (likely a previous guest) Remote-ish location. You can hear trickle of stream and cars from road, but at night there are few cars. Area around yurt could use some landscaping to make it more appealing.
