PLEASE CHECK IN BEFORE 9 PM. We are less than 2 miles from I-70, We are just outside of the really small town of Mack, Colorado. We are 2 miles from the Colorado River, Horse Thief Canyon, and many other outdoor activities. Here you will find world class mountain biking. Bear Family Ranch is a secluded and hidden ranch, you cannot see the ranch from the roadway. You will see incredible views of the Colorado National Monument, Grand Mesa, and Mount Garfield. When the sun sets, shinning its sun rays on the Colorado Monument the shading of the monument brings the monument to life. There are 3 full hook-up RV sites and 8 dry WALK-IN 8'X8' raised pad camping sites (the walk is roughly 200 feet). Walk around the seasonal pond, explore the property, hike a mile to the Mack Wash. You can mountain bike around the property. It's quiet with birds flying and chirping. This is a very private and secluded location with lots of space! Bring your own camping toilet or use our outhouse with a camping toilet inside. Because it's a working ranch, we prefer to familiarize you and your guests to the ranch and show you the route to the site as we have exposed irrigation, irrigation ditches, and a pond. We prefer not to fish you out of the pond. LOL LIMIITED SEWER (If you need to dump grey or black from your RV tank, please help us keep our leach field from being saturated, If you need to dump grey or black water from your RV, we recommend the really nice rest area in Fruita. The Colorado Welcome Center Rest Area is off of I-70 at EXIT 19, which has a FREE dump station. We are on a leach field, no paper products including toilet paper into the sewer, please and thank you. We must check you in, to familiarize you and your guests to the Ranch. Ater check-in you are our guests; you may come and go as you need. We respect your privacy, but if you need anything please contact us or go to the main house. Being a family ranch, we are always working and vigilant of our animals and the security of the Bear Family Ranch.

Tent site · Sleeps 4
Please check in before 9 pm. These are dry camping sites. They are WALK-IN sites. The walk is less than 200 Feet, on a red dirt path, past the lake to the sites. Each site has a 10' x 10' raised flat dirt bordered with tree logs. Each site is about 30 feet from one site to the next site. One site, Paw 7 site, is set back from the other 6 sites. You will be camping near the irrigation river which feeds the pond. Some trees and bushes. All 7 siters are similar. The sites give a semi-secluded and quiet area away from the main house and the RV sites. No parking at any of the camping sites. If it is dry enough, we can allow parking in a designated area which then is about 40–80-foot walk to the sites. This is a dirt road that leads to the designated parking area, and no one can park there or drive there if and when the ground is wet. When wet we stay to the gravel areas. Desert and silt make an incredibly soft, slippery and sticky mud. You may bring your own camping toilet, or you may use the outhouse which has a camping toilet inside. This outhouse does not have running water, it's just a camping toilet. There are two non-potable water containers around the dry camping sites, closest to Paw #1 site and Paw #6 site. We have fresh water available. This water supply is nearest the main house, where you checked in. Please do not drink the irrigation water, it's non-potable. We can help you find the water to drink. To fill up drinking water, it's recommended to bring a drinking water container. We have trash containers on the property, a large grey one by main house and a black trash container by outhouse, trash can is secured to the post and lid is secured with a cord to prevent animals from accessing.
