Mount Vernon Estates Glamping

These rustic but we'll appointed yurts were a perfect way to avoid the transportation nightmare that usually accompanies red rocks shows. A bed, small couch and heater is all provided, as well as a very clean porta-jon. Very walkable on trails to and from the venue or a very quick Uber ride. If you don't need much but a bed and hassle free end to your end of night show then this is the yurt you've been looking for!

Nice little spot close to Red Rocks! It’s probably one of the more affordable places in the area and it’s very easy to catch an Uber to the venue from there. It’s not the fanciest place but if you’re used to camping and roughing it, it feels like a step up to have a bed to sleep in. Good star gazing at night too. I did have to sleep with earplugs in though, it’s fairly close to the highway but traffic died down at night and it wasn’t much of an issue for me.

Double bookings and Uncomfortable

This was a very odd experience. We booked one of the tents, and upon arrival, both of them had guests already in there. I called Dennis (who was very nice) and he said he had somewhere else we could stay, which he said was nicer than the tent. He mentioned how between VRBO and hip camp, double bookings happen frequently. The room he showed had a scattering of totes, trash bags of sheets, and truly looked like a storage room. I’ve slept in some not-so-normal places in my life, so I feel I am pretty open to unique places to crash, but this was not great. He then offered a eurovan which was clean, but there were empty bags of potting soil, a machete and other random items inside. I was in a tight spot, so I said that the van would work. My brother and his girlfriend slept in there and the rest of us just slept on the ground. He mentioned he was fine with us crashing outside, but when I was at the concert, he texted and said it wasn’t okay since there were raccoon and bear concerns. It sounds like he ended up putting more overflow guests in the storage room bed. It seemed like he was trying to get the biggest bang for his buck. Overall communication was not great, the accommodations mix up didn’t seem like a one time issue, and the alternative solutions did not make me feel comfortable. I don’t typically leave negative reviews, I don’t typically ask for money back, but in this situation, I think it’s important to share my experience.

I absolutely loved staying here! Sleeping on a super comfortable bed (rather than on a camping mat) while still feeling like I was outdoors was the best! Some people might have a hard time with the freeway noises, but coming from a home near a busy intersection with lots of very loud revving engines, I found it soothing. The proximity to Red Rocks was remarkable; I wouldn’t stay anywhere else next time I’m there for a show!

This was a good place to stay close to Red Rocks. It was close to the highway, but we did not notice the noise at all. We were planning on doing the hike to the amphitheater but chickened out when we saw that the trails were labeled as "difficult." Since we're from sea level and not used to Colorado trails, we decided to Uber. Getting there was quick and easy, getting home was longer and more expensive, but still worth it. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable staying here as a single female, but it was perfectly safe with someone else. When I booked, it said there was a shower but that changed before I arrived. I recommend bringing water to wash up with, there is still a stall to use for showering that worked just fine.

Nice location, poor communication

With pets ·

The location was great! The camp was nice enough - very basic, as advertised, and the port-a-potty was very clean. But, there was no water for drinking, the shower not usable/connected, and the owner did not answer any communications (attempted twice, once before arrival and once after arrival). Based on that alone, I wouldn’t recommend.

Great for a Red Rocks show

A good place to sleep for a Red Rocks show - easy in and out. Brought our own linens, clean port a john. We biked to the show and then walked home. I would probably drive next time but it made for a fun adventure and either way it was great to be so close to the venue.

We went to a red rocks show and it was the perfect place close by to crash. I loved the beauty of the area. Dennis was super nice and a gracious host.

Great location!

This is a great location to camp after a RedRocks show! The host was very responsive and accommodating. Will stay here again after a show if it's available.

Great spot to be close to Red Rocks

We had a camper van and stayed two nights for a show at Red Rocks. We hiked to the show one night and drove the other. It's a beautiful hike or quick drive depending on what you have the time for. We did not sleep in the tent but it was the perfect central location to Red Rocks and Morrison and Golden.

Didn't fix shower or fill propane. I get it self sustainable but for 100$ a night you'd expect the shower to work.

Hidden Gem Near Red Rocks

This place is fantastic & so close to Red Rocks. We’ll definitely be back to visit… we met the hosts the first night and ended up hanging out for a bit; really great people. The little piece of land is amazing and has some cool history behind it. We made use of the outdoor shower and also brought some shade in the form of a tarp which I’d recommend if you plan on hanging there for a bit and it’s hot.

It served our purposes well! We just needed a well located place to lay our heads at the end of our day and this fit the bill pretty well! (Extremely close to highway access, 15ish minutes outside of Denver) It does rely on each camper to really do their due diligence in maintaining the space for the next folks, so if thats not something you're up for another spot might be better. We didn't mind at all - pack in/pack out mentality. Thanks for the use of the land, Dennis!

We went to a show at red rocks and this destination was perfect for this event! Yurts were cozy , only concern would be the portapotty cleanliness other then that, this was a great stay!

For convenience, to see a show at RR, I’d recommend. For an outdoor, glamping, peaceful experience, absolutely not. I-70 was LOUD and so were the people in the other yurt. We got no sleep between the two.

Weekend of Adventure

Group trip ·

Very convenient to Golden and Morrison so great for a weekend of creek tubing and breweries or concerts on the rocks, or both! If you are sensitive to noise then bring some earplugs or a fan as you are close to I70, otherwise, a great spot with just what you need and trailheads for a hike a stone throw away.

Overpriced frat boy dorm

The view was nice. I-70 being literally right there didn’t help but it was terrible. I know it’s clean before you leave type of place but you kind of expect the owner to come and make sure everything is atleast somewhat put together. It was a wreck when we got there. Which can be looked past but the fairy lights didn’t work the chairs were scattered on the ground. It was just disappointing after I paid 95 dollars. If it were 20 bucks sure no problem but it was just so overpriced I almost asked for a refund.
