Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
We have a 100+ acre working ranch with access to the Arkansas river for fishing, kayaking or just dipping your feet in. We have great views of the Collegiate Peaks 14ers and the Harvard trail is just up the hill. Frenchman's creek runs through the ranch which has hay fields, aspens, cottonwoods, pinons, cows, chickens, sheep and pigs. Deer, elk, coyotes and bobcats also wander through. We are 15 minutes from BV, 10 minutes from Clear Creek Reservoir, 20 minutes from Twin Lakes and 30 minutes from Leadville.

Camping with a view
The site was beautiful and so peaceful. We loved the cows and chickens!! And the shower was great! Having water and electric was so nice - especially the edison lights strung through the camping area. We took a walk along the river and took some amazing pics. The location was very convenient to Mount Princeton and also Buena Vista and great view of Mt. Harvard. Todd and Belinda were very nice and responsive to my questions before we arrived. Will absolutely be back!

Sweet Farm Stay
Such a great Hipcamp! Stunning farm setting with a beautiful backdrop, well-designed sites and the company of cuddly looking cows. The hosts are incredibly friendly and communicative. Only drawback is the proximity to the highway, but it didn’t bother us. We noticed traffic died down throughout the night and was non-existent Sunday morning. We plan to stay here again as our Basecamp for hiking more 14ers! So appreciative that Belinda and Todd share a slice of this special place.

Canvas Tent in the Aspen Grove
Our experience in Buena Vista
Belinda and Todd have a beautiful campsite. The amenities were nice and the canvas tent / platform were top notch. The hosts were also quite nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Beautiful views of Mt. Princeton from the property. The only downside was we didn’t realize how close we were to the highway. It’s not an “off the grid” feeling from a sound perspective. If you don’t mind a little background noise this is a one of a kind campsite!

Medium Canvas Tent in the Aspens
What a beautiful setting in an aspen grove only a short walk from the Arkansas. The tent is very roomy and was great for our family of 5 (3 young children). The bathrooms and shower were very nice, convenient and clean. The hosts are incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. We would love to return.
