Welcome to Clear Creek Getaway! ( PLEASE write your code down it will be sent out when you book I’m not always available on weekends NOTE: Absolutely no smoking in the A-frames Please note these Mountains are home to a lot of people therefore I do not allow any open burning wood burning no one want start a forest fire even though the county will say it’s OK for open burn. Please respect The neighbors they request that we do not have open flame. I’m sure you can understand. Bedding: you will need to bring your own For the glam dome: file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/cd/13/3781DC46-F036-428E-BFC5-447B16E14D54/Image-1.jpeg Roads : This is a mountain getaway so the roads are dirt. If you have Awd and keep your speed up you will make it fine. The road is a loop the backside can have rocks so please drive up in high clearance vehicles no need for crazy lifted just SUV-Trucks type We are available all year round. No power in units. All A-Frames come with a grill and propane (see photos), and there is also a solar motion light on the deck.. Located 10 minutes by car from historic gold town Idaho Springs.

Gold prospectors Camp

This particular site is a little ways out from the other tent sites and a-frames, so it feels more private. And there are nice views.

Base camp C-2

Just a spot to park the car and sit outside but will do the trick when you need quick camping off the I-70!

A New Favorite

The property itself is very beautiful with tons of trees, little trails to explore, caves, wildlife, etc. You could properly spend a whole day just exploring the immediate surrounding trails, although some may be private property so be aware of that. Because it's on top of a hill it also has very nice views of the surrounding valley. It's nice, peaceful, and quiet with campsites being sufficiently spaced so that, youre not hearing or seeing your neighbors very much. The camp is located in a nice area with lots of activities to do within a 20 minute drive. We spent 3 days and still felt like we wanted atleast another 2 days to do everything we wanted to do.

A-frame # 3 Size 6x8-8x10

Great minus bedding.

Amazing location, incredible view. Bedding in cabin 3 was a little light. We asked for pillows after first night and got pillow cases but no pillows? The a frames themselves were lovely and the grill and deck was superb but the bedding situation left a little to be desired. We would definitely come back but be sure to bring own blankets and bedding. Not ideal if flying in. Idaho springs was awesome and Rick the owner was very responsive and helpful!
