One of the valleys last original stone homes dating back to 1845. We have been restoring the buildings made from the stone. The main house which is not yet finished has beautiful etched glass windows of the cattle drives. James Hinds the homesteader and original owner of the ranch created the ware and hinds ditch which supplies our abundant Valley water. He was a prominent attorney and got our water rights given to us forever from President Harrison. It includes water that extends to the middle of the Colorado River and the one mile of our shoreline. Everyday that we live here we give thanks for his wisdom and foresight. The once huge ranch that used to extend across I -70 and to the far side of the Colorado River is now reduced to our beautiful 110 acres, but it is the most beautiful and historic part of his astounding empire. Please contact us if you’re looking for single night reservations during the week - we will be more than willing to accommodate you if we have the room!

Site #1 the sheep

The site is huge and very shaded. Its right by the river so it sounds like your camping next to the ocean with great soothing sounds. The water was moving too fast, but it would be nice if some of the foliage near the river was cleared so there is better access to get in the river when it is moving slower/safe. The kiddos loved the farm animals! It was pretty buggy being right by the water and with all the trees.

Site 2 the horse

This site and host were great! You are right on the river and the site has plenty of room and shade. There was a table provided which was a nice touch. The host was super easy and quick to respond. And the farm animals are SO sweet! Would definitely stay here again.

Site3 the COW

This campsite was perfect for our group! Very spacious, with plenty of area for several tents, a firepit circle, and lawn games. It was partially shady most of the day due to the trees and was really nice being on the river.

Beautiful stay

We had a fabulous time on Joyce’s campsite. There was a lot of lush greenery with some openings that peeked out to the river. The river was raging this time around so we didn’t do a lot with it, but could step out to put our toes in the edge. When you arrive you see lots of cute farm animals- horses, sheep, lambs and piglets! A sign marks the site and it’s a short walk down a path into the heart of the site. The rancher at the beginning of the road sells nice bundles of dry wood for $10 cash. A port-a-potty is a few hundred feet down the road from this site. The sites have a wide fire ring and a large spool that is a great camping table. Joyce is a wonderful host, very accommodating and kindly giving me weather and check in/out updates, offering flexibility and kindness. Overall a lovely, peaceful stay and I would recommend to other peaceful travelers.

Site #1 the sheep

We arrived and were told to meet the host. No one was at the property. We found our camp, however, the river was very high and therefore the campsite was wet and dangerously close to the water. We wish we would have been notified of the conditions prior to making a three hour drive. We ended up not staying.
