Did you know the Milky Way has color? Come experience night skies like you have never seen them before! Look up when the next meteor shower is and reserve your spot. Most visitors love the quite serene atmosphere and want to get away from it all. You can explore 45 of our acres and access 45 acres of land locked BLM lands. A quick 5 min drive away is endless BLM and public lands. Most mobile phone service does not work here. AT&T is the only one that works really well. The land is around 10 miles from the town of Naturita which has a restaurant, Side by Side rentals, a bar, a grocery store, thrift store, consignment store, and a couple dispensaries and gas stations. Naturita is an amazing place for Dark Sky viewing, hiking, camping, biking, and scenic drives. The outdoor recreation opportunities are endless. It is very close (driving) to the Dolores River. The land is surrounded by BLM and near the Uncompahge National Forest. The Dark Sky campsite is also close to the Unaweep/Tabegauche Scenic and Historic Byway. Come here to get away from it all! The land itself offers incredible mountain views. You park at the tree line with desert Sage brush views to the East, Pinion and Juniper trees with a private canyon and beautiful rock formations to the West. Just North is 45 acres of landlocked BLM public land walking distance from the campsite. Unit 70 for the hunters who know how legendary this area is. Our land has an obstacle course, private paintball field, seasonal lake, trails, canyon, elevation gains and drops. Pets are encouraged to join you.

Sonny is a great host. From helping me find the right campsite to local recommendations. The campsite was beautiful and could see sunset over the mountains and more stars than I could count

Secluded campground. Wonderful sunsets! Great stars late at night. Easy to find with GPS directions and hipcamp signs. Enjoyed our stay!

Dark skies and lots of stars!
This was the second time camping at Sonny’s property and it was fantastic! Sonny communicates well and the directions are spot on. It was our annual Winter Camping trip and it was exactly what we wanted. It is perfectly located near Naturita, Norwood and Ridgway. It is secluded enough to get a break from people, close enough to town for any supplies and a short trip to Ridgway if you want to get a soak in at Orvis Hot springs. I highly recommend checking it out for the dark skies, abundant stars and beautiful mountain vistas!

An absolute gem and fantastic host!
Sonny was a fantastic host and responded to our texts almost immediately! As we were arriving after dark, finding the correct turn off would have been difficult without his quick reply and great instructions. The spot is absolutely beautiful with lots of Juniper trees in the area. Coyotes can be heard at night with lots of wildlife in the area. If you are looking for solitude without a soul for miles, this is your spot. The small towns of Naturita and Red Vale are relatively close when you need to grab some extra supplies. I will definitely be returning soon!
