We had an excellent stay at Blue Mountain Reserve! The site it beautiful, well maintained, and feels so far removed while being close enough to Colorado Springs to access anything you need. The drive in was gorgeous and we were greeted by Trinity, who happened to be at the site doing some maintenance. She was friendly and gave us a few tips for small hikes from the site. We had a lovely night, enjoying the quiet and views. Would absolutely stay again!

Creekside Hideaway
Creek side Hideaway was a great little campsite not too far from Colorado Springs. It was beautiful out there and very accommodating. The kids had a blast playing around the creek area, building forts and exploring. The porta potty was very convenient and clean. The only two bummers were that the creek was not flowing and we were not allowed campfires, which is obviously out of anyone’s hands. But, the camp hosts left communal lights, glow sticks and head lamps to accommodate us and let us use a gas grill and charcoal grill and provided free charcoal. Loved all the cute chairs and tables and there were even toys left out there for the kids to play with. All in all a great weekend!

Inspiration Point
It was a lovely quite space, a few campsites on the property. The porter potty was spotless and odorless. While we did not use the camp store, it was a wonderful addition incase we forgot anything. The campsite was clean, except was not prepared for the number of bees, no one got bitten or stung in my group. Overall a lovely experience and would go back!

Lovely forested area! I'd recommend coming with a group who can book all three sites together since the sites are close together. There is a beautiful stream that our kids loved, and also a steep path that is being cleared out that leads up to the ridge line for nice views. A great weekend trip!

So we enjoyed our stay once we got situated, but there were certainly some unexpected surprises about the site. First off, at the time of booking there was no indication that there was a large 6 person tent already setup on the area designated for our tents that I did not find out about until 2 days before our arrival when the host offered to take it down. I responded the following day that we would appreciate it being taken down and when we arrived it was still up. When the host arrived, we kindly asked that it be taken down and graciously helped her break it down and load it into her truck even after she passively aggressively mentioned that I only responded about the tent the day before our arrival. I didn't say anything but we booked the site 3 weeks earlier. It would have been nice to have found out about it then at the time of booking. Anyway, the road in is rather rough and you absolutely want to have AWD, but you should also have sufficient clearance or your car runs the risk of bottoming out. It is very rocky and uneven in sections. We were led to believe there was plenty of wood around to forage for a fire, but you will need to be sure to bring something to cut it up with and there really wasn't a lot of space from which to forage without having to lug it a long way. Otherwise, opt for the propane fireplace and/or grill because their little tent camp store listed wood bundles for $10! (this is per my fellow campers, not witnessed myself). Otherwise, the hosts were nice and made sure we knew their property lines and came by back to back days to be sure we were good as well as the new campers that were a stones throw from us. That's one other thing, there are 3 sites there not two. They are not on top of each other, but they are not nearly as far away as most other hipcamps we have stayed at. Better than a state or national park, but not by much IMO. To cut them host some slack, they did just acquire the property in June so it was clear they were working through some kinks. However, I got the impression that these sites will not be for camping much longer as they indicated they were going to put a tiny home on the area where we had our tents and a pergola over our picnic/firepit area which was evidenced by the recently installed concrete joists. And not the fault of the hosts, but they had some neighbors that appeared to be unhappy about people camping there. They yelled down at us the first day to be sure we tended to our fires (which of course we did, my buddy has gone through fire training) and another day we heard them yell to each other asking if we were still there for whatever reason. A bit odd and unusual, but it didn't really bother us but we were sure to steer clear of their property. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves, and the hosts were nice and accommodating when we talked but they do appear to be a bit new to this and feeling their way through it.

Amazing camp site! Thick forest, quiet and the host is probably the most organized woman ever! Directions were easy and spot on, there was info on boards for newbies, site was very clean. Very happy little trip.

This camp spot is perfect for going into town for tourist activities. It’s about a 25 min drive to Colorado Springs and 40 min to Manitou Springs. Otherwise make sure you bring games or something to do.

Blue Mountain Reserve
We had a great time with our friends and were excited to have a portapotty. Except for the fact that we kept getting whiffs of it. Also the other campsites are pretty close to each other. We had a great time with our friends and only had neighbors the last night of our visit. The drive up was fine, even our friends in the van got up the road with no problem.

Such a beautiful escape! A great option that is not too far off. This is a loop campground which wasn’t clear to me when we picked the spot so there are other campers right by which we weren’t expecting but all in all it was really great and had a great time

Creekside Hideaway is the perfect quick getaway from the city. The road up to camp provides many great views and the sound of the creek next to camp is very relaxing. Trinity provided everything that would would need for a great weekend of camping. I can’t wait to camp here again!

I enjoyed my time at Inspiration Point. Trinity the host was very responsive to my messages. The listing was spot on, the road in was mostly on a private dirt road a bit bumpy, high clearance vehicle is recommended. Little over a mile in you’ll find a small campground nestled around Pine trees along the Little Turkey Creek. Well maintained sites with fire pits with wood, quirky tables and chairs, water and two porta potties. My site was small definitely only 2 people, but the best part is being right by the creek, nothing is better than sitting on the banks listening to the bubbling creek. Great quite place to get back to nature, to just sit, relax, think, meditate, read a book or just lay in a hammock.

Creekside Hideaway
I was initially attracted by the list of available amenities and the closeness to Colorado Springs, since we had plans there and in Florissant. But what impressed me most were things not listed--the little creek that kept us company all night, the stars through the canopy of whispering trees, the chittering of the hummingbirds joining us for breakfast in the morning, and even the charming vase of wildflowers we found at our site when we got there. I also wasn't expecting the site to be in such beautiful surroundings. The rocky road to access the site (and yeah, like the listing says, you'll NEED 4WD) opened upon beautiful vistas, meadows, and plains (we saw 2 elk!), there's a shallow cave just off the turn to our campsite, and my husband and I hiked up the slope on our last day and found a little trail that made me wish we'd spent more time there. Maybe next time :)

Such a beautiful place to camp!! Giant red rocks everywhere and quartz crystal gravel... incredibly hospitable hosts that went above and beyond to make our stay possible!!!! Side note a 4 wheel drive jeep or offroad vehicle is absolutely necessary. 💯 Wish we could have stayed longer and hiked the terrain!! Highly recommend 👌😍🥰

Our time at Blue Mountain Reserve was fabulous- one of my most favorite Hip Camp stays. The spot is one of two located on their property in a heavily wooded area (with plenty of even terrain for pitching your tent,) next to a creek, with absolutely beautiful views. Although the property has 2 sites, they are spaced apart to a decent amount to allow for plenty of peace and quiet. Trinity and her family take a lot of care to ensure your stay on their property is really enjoyable- we arrived to find a large tent already set up for our use! Considering we arrived a couple hours later then anticipated, this was a hugely convenient and very much appreciated. They also stopped by a couple of times to stock firewood and ensure we were comfortable. As far as campground amenities go- they had a shared port-a-potty available, plenty of chairs, large fire rings at each site, picnic tables, potable water, and buckets for extinguishing your fire. What more could a camper want from a family-friendly site? I highly recommend this spot- we hope to go back someday soon.

Creekside Hideaway is a gorgeous secluded getaway! We enjoyed falling asleep to the sounds of the nearby creek! Trinity answered all our questions and gave great directions too! Enjoyed a small evening fire. Creekside breakfast was enhanced by all of the hummingbirds cruising thru camp!

We loved listening to the creek while we watched the hummingbirds. The kids loved climbing on the boulders and playing in the water. We saw deer right as we were turning onto the lot, and turkeys right next to our camp! I’m definitely glad we had 4WD, but our Jeep towed our teardrop camper up the road just fine. We couldn’t see or hear any of her neighbors, and we were glad to make some friends with the group staying at the other campsite. The trail going up to her ridgeline was a little rough, but worth it for the amazing views. So many wildflowers and mushrooms! I can’t wait to come back.

What a little hidden gem. I was amazed with how tucked away and remote this location felt. I honestly can’t tell you what was best. The cave full of beautiful green life in the very back, or the arrangement of different mushrooms, or the sound of the creek lazily flowing by. This was such a fantastic place to spend the weekend away with my husband and our family on our 8th wedding anniversary. I so recommend coming. There’s so much I didn’t touch on. The path being cut by the host is phenomenal for views, and the sweet little fairy tale vibe is everything. To top it all off the hosts were so friendly and welcoming.

I stayed here the second night of a 2 week camping adventure.
Let me tell ya, this place will knock the dust off of your soul.
Beautiful spots and so quiet the only thing you will hear is the stream next to the campsites.
Very thankful for the amenities provided.
You definitely do need 4 wheel drive to get there, but it’s worth it!

Trinity’s land is incredible. We enjoyed the beautiful views and walking through a mountain forest wonderland. The brook that ran beside our campsite was so peaceful to fall asleep to. We will definitely be recommending Blue Mountain Reserve to all our friends traveling through the Colorado Springs area.

This property was exactly what I was looking for - quiet, off the beaten path, beautiful, and next to a stream so the sound of flowing water lulled me into relaxation mode. You will definitely need 4-wheel drive to make it here and probably won't have cell service but are only 15 minutes from town if you need connectivity or supplies. The hosts were kind enough to have wood cut for our fire and a camp toilet stocked with TP & sanitizer. We loved our stay & can't wait to return!

We had an amazing stay at these campsites. We saw so many hummingbirds and a flock of wild turkeys one morning. This place is surrounded by beautiful pines and nestled deep in the woods while only being a short drive away from Colorado Springs. The hosts were so hospitable and really went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed for our time there. There’s a beautiful creek located right next to the campsites and all you can hear is the sound of flowing water and birds singing. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat to camp; this is it.
