Primitive camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

A nice area for you to pull a small to large RV, 5th wheel, tent camp, car camp, this is a great place that is quiet and will have you gazing up at the stars. Not to far off of I-25 if you need to take a rest for the night before heading on your way. The entrance is a bit bumpy but a Prius can make it through, so you should be solid, just go slow. Graneros Gorge is on your right and it is definitely a site to grab photos, just don't get to close to the edge and watch for rattle snakes. No facilities, just pack in and pack out. Lots of space so spread out and pitch a tent, bring the dogs, and four-wheelers, and enjoy some Colorado sunshine and fresh air. Colorado City/Rye exit has all your necessities, Dispensary, restaurant, and a ways down, is an ACE Hardware, Liquor store, and a small grocery store. It may be a bit hard to find if you are coming in after dark. However, you will get off on exit 71, follow the sign that says Graneros RD and take a left/North and follow it to the payment ends, you will make a sharp right turn, over a cattle guard. The road splits in a few directions but stay strait and the road curves around for about a quarter mile, then you'll see a T in the road, take a right and go about half a mile and you'll see the road going strait and you want to stay right until it dead ends. Area is on the right, but you can camp anywhere. If It is a bit muddy since its been raining and road is kinda rough when you first come in but smooths out. Stay on the high sides with your vehicle.Wide open area for you to pull in. Plenty of room to spread out your gear and allow for other campers. Please make sure to pack in and pack out, please no excessive noise, be respectful of the land and of those around you, Its a very chill place to camp for a night or longer. Very happy to accommodate. Please be mindful that this is camping in a field. We are working to clear and area in the future, but for now just find a spot and set up - its dispersed so wherever you can get a decent spot. The area is gently slopping so there should not be any issues with leveling out. *** Please be mindful if it has been raining/snowing, things can get muddy and if you don't have good tires you may get stuck the entrance after the cattle guard can be a bit tricky but is passable in a Toyota Prius!! ***

The directions were hard to follow and tried contacting the host but never got a reply. Eventually found the spot, I think. There was no sign or indication that we were at the correct spot so don't know if we actually camped at the right spot.

Worked well for us.

Camping on the prairie with mountain views worked well for us. This was a one night stopping place for us. The provided directions combined with the Google maps coordinates took us to the spot, even in the dark. In the morning, we explored the breath-taking gorge. That was on our left on the way out. -Just pay attention to the changing landscape (from prairie to rocky) and you should be able to locate it. -

This is a very beautiful place to camp. A bit rugged which I happen to love. The only thing I had an issue with were directions or lack of directions on how to get to the site. ☺️Other than that we were the only ones there and we loved it.
