100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Miller Flats is a privately own home on 40 acres bordered on 4 sides by Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The Powderhorn Wilderness is literally in the back yard. You will find hiking and biking trails plentiful. The Lake Fork of the Gunnison River is just across the street, with public access just two miles away. If you are looking for Jeep or ATV trails, they are less than a mile down the road. We are twenty miles from the spectacular Alpine Loop! And twenty-five miles from Blue Mesa Reservoir. Tent sites include a firepit, and flat spot for tent. Water and electricity are available at the well house, but not the tent sites. Each campsite has a five gallon bucket of water, a camp potty with a removable bag that you dispose. There may be an outdoor shower available for an extra fee. Please do not plan on using the firepit unless we have had recent rain and the camp host approves. The grass around the campsite is a wildfire waiting to happen since we have been in a severe drought since 2021. There is a pile of wood near the cabin driveway that you can use for campfires. Please make sure you have a way to extinguish your fire. The road to the tent sites is BLM. It is not gravel, it is dirt. My car can get to most sites, but the camp host can help haul gear if you don’t want to drive down it. I have had several sedans drive the road, but if you have a low profile vehicle we can tote your supplies. Also, in spring the road may be muddy. Please have a 4 wheel drive. Just send me a message and we will make it work for you. Satellite Wifi is available near the well house, but somewhat spotty. Not great for downloading movies or gaming. Some people get cell service at the top of the hill, but otherwise there is very little in the area. Your tent sites are arranged around the property next to the wilderness and a BLM trail. You will be able to drive there. There is a log home on the center of the property, about a quarter mile or more away from the tent sites. We rent the property and a third of the time we are living on premises. There are gardens, barn cats, dogs and we are hoping to add a horse and a fuzzy cow. There are outdoor living areas between the log home and your sites. If you are interested in more seclusion, please see the Private Valley campsite. It has a ridge between the cabin, other campsites and the well house.

Pitch your tent or take a snooze in your vehicle in the Rocky Mountain High Country. Wake up to the cool mornings, and sip your coffee while breathing in the sweet pine and mountain sage. The location is in a valley with white capped mountain views to the north and south. Hiking trails are right out your door. Fishing, minutes away. This primitive campsite and you will not have close neighbors. The cabin is in view and you can see and hear the highway.

Perched up on a hill with the afternoon shade of two Ponderosa Pines is a dry camp tent site. The area overlooked Miller Flats and the ranches in Lake Fork valley. To the north you can see the tips of the West Elks and to the south the San Juan’s. Amazing view of the Gate. The site is called Boneyard for the bones that decorate the slope behind the site. It is rumored that a herd of elk got aught there in the last century during a blizzard and died. Last summer we had a flood and it washed many of the bones away or covered them up, but you can still find an occasions bone. The site has a flat mulched area for tents. There is a metal bed frame you can use to sleep under the stars. You will probably want your air mattress on it.

Nestled in a beautiful valley, this is a dry camp spot. Bring your tent and enjoy primitive camping. There are no neighbors in your direct view. The entire valley is for you! Except for an old 1940's Alma camper. You will need high clearance and 4 wheel drive to get to the site, or I can tote your items back there and you can walk. Please read entire description of property so that you better understand back country camping.

My family and I had such a wonderful time camping here, our hosts made it so special, they were truly stellar! I went with my family to watch the meteor shower and we got exactly what we were looking for. Tent camping in a private spot with access to water and a pack out toilet. We felt like we were in heaven with the views! Be sure to pack warm clothes for the night if youre tent camping, its cold but worth it!! Thank you again for sharing your hearts, home, and your incredible views with us!!!

Jackie & Jasper were great camp hosts! They even provided a large jug of water for me. I had a flat, private campsite that was perfect. I stayed up late and watched the stars on my final night there.

Jackie is very nice and has a beautiful property. Beautiful views, hiking, and amazing well water right on the property. We had a wonderful time and I highly suggest visiting Blue Mesa Reservoir for a swim.
