This was my second time staying here, and it will always be one of my favorite places to stop. Linda is a great communicator & even makes sure to provide curated directions, depending on which way you are coming from. Highly recommend stopping for a night (or two!) The donkeys are also a plus :)

Excellent hosts and lovely site! Linda was so welcoming and friendly, she gave us lots of recommendations for the area and was just genuinely lovely to talk to. Clear directions to site and the site itself is very private and peaceful. We would definitely choose to stay here again and couldn’t recommend it enough

What a beautiful gem of a place! So scenic, open, private and the best host ever, Linda.
She provided a great deal of suggestions on where we could spend the day. She’s an incredibly warm host that we’ll always remember.

Rustic rural setting with livestock

Quiet, open space on vintage ranch.
Linda’s Santa Rita land is a beautiful, quiet, rural setting. Friendly horses and donkeys graze nearby and a small, historic irrigation canal lined with cottonwoods and chimesa runs by the sites. Linda was great to work with during my 7-day stay.

So, we had a blast at this quirky little vintage farm just 11 miles outside of Durango, CO, where our campsite was basically the VIP section of the pasture. Picture this: our van was nestled in a cozy corner, fully surrounded by brush, trees, and an irrigation ditch that made us feel like we were on some sort of rustic survival show.
Horses and donkeys became our next-door neighbors—super nosy ones, I might add! We had the entire campsite to ourselves, which made us feel like the kings and queens of our own little compound. We even felt brave enough to leave our camper van wide open at night, just chilling under the protection of our trusty insect netting. Talk about living on the wild side!
But the real midnight party came courtesy of our donkey pals who loved to hang out by the back door during the witching hour, perhaps hoping for some late-night snacks or just an ear rub. By day, we were entertained by the local prairie dog circus, darting around the field like they were training for the Summer Olympics.
And getting to Durango was just a hop, skip, and a jump away! Linda, our host, was a gem—super friendly and accommodating. If you're in the mood for a private, safe spot where "roughing it" means sharing your space with adorable donkeys and feisty prairie dogs, then trust me, this Hip Camp is the place to be!

Our host Linda was awesome. She had a beautiful piece of property, we had a secluded little place that we park the camper on, there were horses, donkeys, and prairie dogs roaming the property. It was serene and a great getaway for our anniversary. She also brought us information about the local area and had a lot of knowledge about areas that we were wanting to visit and explore. She also had places listed out where we could dump our camper after our stay, since there were no amenities on the property and that was very helpful.

What an idyllic summer camping spot <3 I loved being here with my friend amongst the donkeys and prairie dogs and horses, and Linda was so kind and welcoming--she even helped set up my tent with me! I loved all her recommendations and her property. Thank you!!!

The sky was so dark - the stars, each night, were amazing!!! Linda and Jeff were kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Their property is stunningly, private, beautiful, and provides a wonderful place to hang out and sleep.
It’s also lovely being out of the busyness of nearby Durango

Great location just about 15 minutes from town. The setting was lovely and we were able to say hello to the resident horses and donkeys. Linda was a wonderful host!

Had a wonderful stay on Linda's land. As everyone has mentioned, she's a caring, welcome and fascination host. We just needed a quiet place to camp while attending an event at Tico so this was perfect.

You will not find a kinder, more helpful host than Linda. She was a wealth of information on the area and provided multiple resources for us to check out the area on our own.
The property is peaceful and lovely. No frills, but all the open skies and quiet time you could ask for.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would reccomend her camp to anyone searching in the area.

If I could give Linda 10 stars, I would! She was extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful. The description is accurate, it was a nice, quiet site with some friendly donkeys and wildlife sightings! I would love to stay again and would definitely recommend.

Quiet, open space on vintage ranch.
A quiet space to relax. We had the chance try two spots while staying with Linda and both were wonderful. We loved watching the horses and donkeys in the evenings enjoying the pasture and water. A small deer herd passed by one morning. Linda and her husband are such great hosts. We felt at ease immediately. Highly recommend staying here on your travels or for a break from city as we did. Can't wait to visit again in another season and check out some of what the area has to offer.

My time on linda’s ranch was a great time. I really enjoyed being able to relax and have a beautiful area to stay at Linda is such a welcoming and kind host. I was blown away by how accommodating and fun she was. I sincerely recommend her as a camp host and her campsite, it may not have all the bells and whistles of some of these fancy campgrounds, but it has all of the charm and love of someone who cares about their property and their campers. I stayed for 2 weeks with Linda.

This was such a beautiful & peaceful place. They have a beautiful property! Linda was very accommodating, greeted us when we arrived & such a nice lady! You get to camp amongst the animals also, which was a plus for me. The donkeys & horses were so friendly! Can't wait to come back & visit!

This was my first (and favorite) place I stayed during my trip out West this year.
Linda is an exceptionally wonderful host, and she graciously waited for me to arrive that evening when I arrived a little bit later than I had planned.
She messaged me to check on how I was doing while making the drive, and was even thoughtful enough to make sure I had everything I needed before arriving so I wasn't missing anything.
The land is gorgeous & the friendly donkeys and horses were also gracious hosts (who even surrounded my car to "check" on me at night 🥰)
I loved staying here & would definitely recommend it to anyone (especially solo female travelers like myself) who need a safe & quiet space to stay.

Most magical place with an exceptional host!
Leaving this review literally years later and we still think fondly of our stay here, Linda hopped on the the step of our van and guided us to our camping spot, as we took the wrong road and arrived super late.
She is a true gem.
We saw wild turkeys in the morning and the view was stunning!
If we make it out towards Durango Again we would absolutely stay here once more! ❤️

Ranch Oasis ~ Truly Restful
8 ft travel trailer ·
Quiet, open space on vintage ranch.
This was the perfect spot for me to stay for a few days while in Durango.
Beautiful setting, I loved the sunrises - sunsets, and moonrises.
The donkeys and horses were cute and curious, they came through my camp a couple times and let me pet their ears & noses.
This is a ranch so bring your (natural) bug repellent, but even without it it’s no big deal.
I had privacy & I felt very safe the whole time.
There is a creek running through the property that you can swim in & cool off if it’s hot.
Linda is the kindest host, down to earth & so very helpful.
This ranch is just outside the city, beautiful countryside setting with a short drive to the city or the airport.
I highly recommended this spot to anyone looking for a quiet, safe, peaceful, restful place to stay in Durango Colorado.
I would definitely stay here again anytime I am near the area.

This is a great place to camp while visiting Durango! Very quiet and the visit from the donkeys on our last night was fantastic. The portable toilet area with a luggable loo was clean and secluded. Linda is a fantastic host! We highly recommend.

Quiet, scenic ranch away from town. Linda and her husband were so nice and loved hearing our plans. They have a couple cute dogs that want to be your friend. The bathroom is a tent with a composting toilet. There aren’t any showers, but there’s some in Durango.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this site! Everyone (the adults, the kids, even the animals) had an amazing time!
The donkeys were hilarious and the horses were gentle! My daughter spent a hours and hours just hanging out with them.
The environment with the cactus, rabbits, lizards, etc… absolutely perfection!
Linda was so kind and quick to answer! Made us feel like we were home!
We cannot wait to come back again!
