We have a 100+ acre working ranch with access to the Arkansas river for fishing, kayaking or just dipping your feet in. We have great views of the Collegiate Peaks 14ers and the Harvard trail is just up the hill. Frenchman's creek runs through the ranch which has hay fields, aspens, cottonwoods, pinons, cows, chickens, sheep and pigs. Deer, elk, coyotes and bobcats also wander through. We are 15 minutes from BV, 10 minutes from Clear Creek Reservoir, 20 minutes from Twin Lakes and 30 minutes from Leadville.

Site 2 - Cottonwood Shaded RV Spot

We had a great site with all the hookups for our RV. Belinda and Todd’s ranch is beautiful with touches of the old ranch life. The shower house and bathroom was an added plus We would definitely come back.

Canvas Tent in the Aspen Grove

Great place and friendly hosts! This was also my dog's first camping experience, and she loved it, too! The only minor drawback is the road noise. I had ear plugs and could still hear the loud trucks when they rumbled through.

Medium Canvas Tent in the Aspens

We loved our stay! There were beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and being nestled in the trees made it feel private and secluded. Other campsites are far enough away to not feel like you’re stacked on top of other people. There was some highway noise but nothing that ever bothered me or kept me up. The host was also friendly upon arrival. Would definitely stay again!

Site 1 - Cottonwood Shaded RV Spot

We enjoyed another comfortable stay in our 19’ camper at the Frenchman’s Creek Ranch. Full hook ups in a shady spot with a propane fire pit provided by Belinda and Todd. Close to BV and all the collegiate peaks hiking opportunities. We will return again!

Site 2 - Cottonwood Shaded RV Spot

Belinda & Todd's Homestead Ranch at Frenchman's Creek is the perfect stop along your journey or as a basecamp to explore the many offerings of the surrounding area. They were warm welcoming hosts and the site offers everything you need at a great price. Full hookups (electric & water), fire pit, picnic tables, access to the Arkansas River, heated bathhouse with shower & restrooms, and plenty of charm with farm animals roaming to visit. There's plenty to do in the surrounding mountains and towns of Leadville & Buena Vista nearby. We definitely recommend a stay here, if you're checking out the area. - J & T
