Stay somewhere truly different. Our property blends a private, working environment with wide-open space and a beautiful 1-acre lake (seasonal, summer access)—creating a peaceful, one-of-a-kind camping experience just minutes from town. Each campsite sits on our 10-acre property, giving you your own space and privacy while still enjoying easy access to everything the area has to offer. You’ll be surrounded by some of the best outdoor recreation in Colorado—mountain biking, road cycling, hiking, rafting, fishing, off-roading, and more—all right outside your door. The Colorado National Monument is just a short drive away. Despite the quiet setting, you’re only 2 minutes from Fruita, where you’ll find great restaurants, coffee shops, groceries, gas, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The Sites We offer three well-spaced sites, each with: Water and electricity (#1 has no water but power) Expansive views Easy access and privacy One site includes full sewer hookup A Unique Setting (Please Read) This is not a traditional campground—it’s a private, adult-oriented property (18+) that also operates as the home of The Gondola Shop, a specialized gondola restoration business. Weekdays (Mon–Fri): You may notice light activity, occasional noise, and staff moving through parts of the property. Safety & atmosphere: For this reason, the property is best suited for responsible adults seeking a quieter, more independent camping experience. No children allowed due to the working environment and equipment on site. Speed limit: 10 mph throughout the property. Groups & Gatherings We’re open to small groups (RVs, vans, roof tents, etc.) as long as you are self-contained. From May through October, when the lake is full, the property becomes an ideal setting for relaxed gatherings, BBQs, and enjoying the outdoors in a private setting. If you’re looking for a quiet, unique place with space, views, and unbeatable access to Fruita’s outdoor scene—this is a great fit. If you’re looking for a traditional, kid-friendly campground, this likely isn’t it.

Such a peaceful place to camp! The campsite was clean and Dominique was a fantastic host. This camp is removed from the bustle but close enough to everything. It’s the perfect spot and I highly recommend it.

This is the country life. It's quiet and peaceful out here. It's close to Fruita but far enough away you don't hear any train or freeway noise. We love staying here. We'll definitely be back

Camp #3 by the pond
Dominique's place is quiet, private, and very peaceful. Our site was right next to a large pond with nice views of the Monument. It was very relaxing to sit out by the pond and listen to the bullfrogs and watch the stars. Easy to find and close to downtown Fruita and the freeway. We loved it and and will definitely go back when we're in the area.

We loved staying at Dominique’s camp! Everything was wonderful and the birds on the pond were lovely to watch. We stayed at the #3 site, located in the back. It was nice and private and right on the water. Also close to town but in the country feel. We will be back and very happy with our stay. Thank you!!!!! Bee, Brandon, and Odin 🧡

Lovely weekend on camp site #3

Camp #3 by the pond
Our family and group of friends (9 total) enjoyed a lovely fall weekend at Dominique’s site #3. Dominique herself made a point to stop over and introduce herself and even was kind enough to supply us with a power adapter for our trailer! The site itself was lovely-our boys absolutely loved fishing off the dock (and caught quite a bit) and we also enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night and roasting marshmallows. The only down side that we encountered was some loud machinery noise coming from one of the neighboring lots early the first morning, but other than that we had a lovely experience. We would go back!

Camp #3 by the pond
A very peaceful setting surrounded by farm pastures. Only a couple of miles from restaurants, grocery stores and Fruita Information Center-where there is access to a dump station. The site offered water and electricity and we enjoyed the tranquility of the pond. A mowed path along the back of the pond allows you to walk your pup on or off leash. If your pup is well behaved they will have an opportunity to socialize with other 4-legged friends. Dominique is friendly-but not intrusive and was very informative and helpful. I find her business of modifying gondola is very interesting as well and hope to see her new creations on line! Thank you, Dominique, for allowing us to visit your property!

Our very first HipCamp stay was INCREDIBLE! From before we arrived to after we left, Dominique was very communicative and hospitable. Spot was beautiful and quiet, with a beautiful pond! It’s just a few minutes from town, which hosts quaint cafes and a few breweries. We even got to catch the awesome Fall Fesitval going on. Definitely recommend and it’s on our list to come back to!
