Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

Hello campers, wanderers, and travelers alike! We are nestled in the Coal Creek Valley up here at 8,000 ft. Gorgeous views for miles with stunning sunrises and sunsets. We have two adorable tiny A-frames for rent with a seasonal outdoor shower and portable toilet set up (working on a compost build as we speak.) We also have flat parking for several camper vans and a few flat spots for tent camping. Lastly, when available, we rent out our 13', 1977 remodeled Scamp. Her name is Snug and she's adorable. We allow up to 3 groups with a total of 6 people at once here. My sister and I share this family home and love welcoming travelers into our little world we've created. Thank you for stopping by and we can't wait to meet you! A few Notes: - Quiet Hours between: 10pm - 8am - Wifi close to the home (password given on arrival) - BYOB (Bring your own bedding, sleeping bags, pillow) - You are responsible for packing in/out...all respectful land stewards welcomed - Bring your own towels if you're planning on using the outdoor shower - Keep all food locked up appropriately. This is bear country, and while we've never had an incident, they are curious little guys. - No Kitchen. bring your own supplies if you'd like to cook in the fire pit. - Bring your own wood for the fire pit. All local fire ban laws apply when appropriate. - We have an adorable, loving, sweet, (sometimes barky) house dog. He's super kind and loves chasing balls. Feel free to play fetch with him if you'd like :) **Outdoor Shower & Water is Turned off for the Season as Temps are dropping

Great stay!

We loved staying in the star gazer on David’s land! It was very cozy and he was very accommodating. We were lucky to not have too much cold weather but one night it was cold, he offered a heater. The view from the star gazer is breathtaking and the stars at night were incredible! We also had a good time playing fetch with their dog. It’s a short drive down the mountain to Golden and just 4 minutes from a gas station, liquor store, and coffee shop. Would stay again!

Fun and cozy mountain getaway

We loved staying at David and Stephanie’s A frames! They’re perfect for a couple to getaway for a weekend. We were a week into our road-trip and were tired of tent camping and this was an amazing upgrade for us.
