Family owned 5 acre off grid property in the Arapahoe National Forest Learn more about this land: Velkommen to the Viking tent in Idaho Springs! In the mountains just off of I-70, is this cozy little bell tent hiding in the trees. You'll have furs and a toasty stove to sip your morning coffee by in the seclusion of your tent. There's also a large fire pit with seating to eat your dinner by perhaps, and maybe chat with other travelers who are staying on the property. The fire pit is between your tent and another, and for shared use with other guests. At nearly 9,000 ft elevation, we get some gusty winds and unpredictable weather, but the wood burning stove provides a very warm and toasty atmosphere inside, and a rain fly over the tent provides a bit more insulation for keeping heat in at night, and holds it down in the winds quite well. Nestled between two hills on either side, and just feet away from a creek that flows through the spring and early summer, it can feel very secluded, but you are actually just off the road and only about 10 minutes from the town of Idaho Springs. The surrounding aspens and pines are quite magical, just be sure to read our note in the tent about our property boundary. Nearby St Mary's Glacier is a very popular spot, and there are loads of hiking and biking trails nearby. As mentioned before, the tent is just off of the road so you will hear the occasional car driving by, otherwise it's very quiet. There is a composting toilet and a private "toilet tent" on site. No power, just good old fashioned wood burning stove and a plethora of battery powered candles and lanterns. You'll need 4/AWD from about October through April, as we're off of a dirt road. You're in the mountains folks, so bears and moose have been seen on occasion. Please pack out all food and garbage. Drinking water and firewood provided.

Viking Bell Tent

Peaceful space

The tent was so cute and cozy as was the surrounding area! Everything was exactly as described. I was looking for a quick getaway out of the city to finish my book. I felt as though the other tent was far enough that I had enough privacy! It was a little tight turning in with my van but totally doable, I would suggest backing in for larger vehicles.

Awesome place just an hour away from Denver!!! Secluded enough to see a lot of stars and plenty of firewood for a good bonfire at night to tell ghost stories! Be aware of Sasquatch!!

Cozy tent in woods

Really pretty, tucked away spot with nice walking trails (keep an eye out for fairies and gnomes along one of the paths!) The tent was cozy and the bed comfy! Definitely an upgraded camping experience. We met Lindsay's mom who has been helping out with the property, and she was very friendly and helpful. I was able to send a quick work email by picking up the WiFi at the bottom of the house's driveway, a few yards from the tent. Great spot!
