Tipi camping with Shower House
Perfect getaway near Paonia
The property was beautiful, Tipi and Shower House were perfectly equipped with everything we could want. George was a wonderful host, keeping everything in tip-top shape and giving us local tips on a shortcut to Big B's venue, coffee shops in Hotchkiss, etc. What a lovely place! We hope to make this a yearly trip!

Grove Yurt
Simple Elegance - don’t miss out!
This is a remarkable combination of simple elegance. Despite the yurt itself having no electricity, plumbing, or Wi-Fi, its beautifully appointed and every single amenity is cleverly provided. Inside jugs of fresh water are stocked beneath the propane stove to feed the drip coffee maker. The kitchen area is fully stocked with pans, plates, cups, utensils, papertowels, TP - you name it. A king bed with thick blankets keep you warm. A wood stove, couches, chairs, and dining tables (with games & puzzles) provide many entertainment options. The yurt is tastefully decorated with George’s paintings, sweet carvings, and a delightful rocking chair. Just ten steps out the door is a composting toilet cleverly disguised as a little horse trailer. Robes and towels are included for the 3-minute walk to a hot shower where outlets can also be found to charge your phone. An outdoor kitchen just a few steps away includes a large sink with running water, lots of counter space, a bear-proof icebox, and a hefty gas grill. A large fire ring and plenty of firewood are readily available just a few steps from the river. Trails thru the property and alongside the river are wide and well maintained. All this is a short (1/2 mile?) walk to Big B’s fruit grove where you’ll find rows of apples, pears, grapes (you name it) a store, a restaurant, a bar, and, often, entertainment.
In short, this is a perfect place to get away from it all.

Shaded Camp site on gentle canal
I loved camping on George’s land! We were there for the show at Big B‘s, which is right next-door and an easy walk there. I loved all the little touches such as tables and chairs to sit on, hammocks, solar lights, and a full bathroom. I also liked that it didn’t feel crowded. Would definitely camp here again!

Shaded Camp site on gentle canal
A great campsite in a cool area!
George and Devon are excellent hosts. The campsite had everything (and more) that we needed for a relaxing and fun 3 days in the Paonia area. The site is thoughtfully furnished with metal tables and chairs, a hammock chair swing, a fire pit, and other interesting touches. The communal shower house was really great - super clean with a very nice shower and bathroom, and lots of hot water. The riverwalk trail is fun for exploring the property, and there are amazing artistic creations to discover as you wander around. The canal flowing past the campsite and the riverfront beach were great for cooling off us and our dogs during the heat of the day. We are looking forward to our next chance to come visit again.

Riverwalk RV Site 1
Completely appreciated the generosity and hard work of the hosts in sharing their beautiful land with campers. Just lovely! Easy to find, creative artistic aspects, and awesome bathroom. The creek was close and clean and there was a wonderful short walk alongside it. This is the best place I have ever camped and I plan to return. Thanks!!!
