The Lookout
This was a beautiful and peaceful site, easy to get to while still feeling off-the-beaten-path! We stayed in the last weekend of September, we were a little nervous about how cold it would be but we got lucky with beautiful weather and the fall colors were simply spectacular all around the site. Would absolutely recommend as a weekend getaway.

The site was absolutely beautiful. Upon arrival, there were cattle in the valley heading home for the evening. A blue jay kept us company along with a couple of squirrel. Peaceful and quiet. Just what we needed! Dogs loved it too!

I really enjoyed my stay at Serendipity Slope! It’s a beautiful and secluded site with a scenic valley overlook. Erica was a chill and friendly host, and the nearby natural spring near Victor was an easy and good source of water.

This was our third year camping at The Lookout and it remains one of our favorite hipcamp spots in Colorado. There's plenty of elbowroom for our four shelters: sleeping-tent, kitchen-shelter, living/dinning-shelter, and bathroom-tent (we definitely pack heavy)...without feeling crowded in at all. It's surrounded by a delightful stand of aspen with no other campers or homes in sight. And, the view over the valley is really quite lovely for breakfast in the morning and campfires at night. We look forward to our next long weekend there.

Very secluded! We didn't see or hear anyone else other than an ATV roaming every so often. Plenty of space and options for setting up your site. Be careful with dogs as there is some barbed wire on the ground around the outside of the site. Two tables, a grill, and a toilet provided if needed. Incredible views and you can park right on site. Great spot! Thanks Erica for the detailed directions.

We had a wonderful time at this spot. Erica’s directions make it very easy to find. Once you are there, you are surrounded by trees with a beautiful view down into the valley below. On a clear night, you can also see lots of stars.

I had a very relaxing time at the lookout. I heard some ATV noise during the day but once evening came it was peaceful and quiet. Erica was very responsive and helpful.
I found that Apple Maps took me right to the address. Google Maps only took me to the beginning of the dirt road. The directions given by Erica were also spot on!

We love staying here. So peaceful and silent, but still close to town. Easy to find and secluded spot. We'll be back when we need another quick escape!

I loved Erica’s incredible mountain space!! The land was well maintained, her instructions were clear, and it was incredibly peaceful. Definitely a one of a kind spot to recharge in nature, and I hope to return in the near future!

Beautiful spot, very easy to get to. Pretty well secluded with tons of acres to explore and hike. Going to head back here next summer.

We have actually not been to the lookout yet and cancelled our trip at the last minute due to illness (sunk cost, they have a strict cancellation policy). We hope to go another time. Host was very helpful and recommended a fun activity nearby that was a big hit with the kids.

Beautiful view is accurate, but the site felt small and a little cramped. Doing anything other than camping requires a drive. Owner supplied a propane grill, chairs, and tables which was nice.
Neighborhood was quiet but consists of a bunch of depressing, run-down dwellings. Still can hear a little traffic in the distance.
Also, the site-owner told us no campfires two days before arrival even though she advertised campfires, then capitulated after I wrote an email at 5 A.M. researching the lack of burn bans in the city and county. Felt a little bait-and-switchy.
Not bad, but wouldn't recommend for the price point. 3/5 stars.

Had a blast! Our dogs were big fans of this site and we loved seeing the cows in the morning.

Beautiful view and very private. Absolutely worth the two hour drive from Denver. The site had a nice in ground fire pit, gas grill in case of fire ban, table and camp toilet bucket just in case. There was lots of room to spread out, some natural shade for the hot parts of the day and plenty of flat ground to pitch a tent. It was still pretty cold in late June at night so bring layers!

The Lookout
Absolutely stunning little site close enough to towns to be super convenient with a deep woods feel. Don't be like me and skim the directions; follow them and you'll end up at Brown Dog Lookout. It overlooks rolling hills with 2 ponds (maybe seasonal?) at the bottom. Great views of the tree line, awesome sunset and sunrise. Could hear distant sounds and dogs barking here and there, but overall a fantastic camp spot. The host is also very helpful; let me know about local events and communicated great. I got the 5 gallon water jug for the fire. The wind coming from the hills WILL reignite embers - be sure to drown it. The drive in is pretty and easy to get to. When you get to the country road drive slowly, people live on either side and there's little kids doing country little kid stuff and lots of little animals. My att and boost phones had full service.

This was my first experience with Hipcamp and I was pleased. This site is pretty, quiet, clean, and there was no one around. It would be nice to know a bit more of where the boarders of the property are, but that's not a big deal.

This was our 2nd trip to the Lookout and we have already booked to come back again; it's a special place with nice privacy and a fantastic view. There's great hiking in the area and Erica is an excellent host. Vehicle with good clearance is preferable, though not absolutely necessary if you pick your track carefully.

My partner and I loved camping at the Lookout! Erica’s directions made it very easy to get to the site, even without cell service. The view was simply incredible, and amenities such as chairs, a “toilet”, a fire pit, and a tie-out cable for dogs were provided. Erica was quick to respond when we requested water to put out our campfire! We definitely recommend staying here, time and time again.

We had a really good time at Erica's camp site. Me my wife and dog all stayed here for 1 night but paid for 2 so that we didn't have any restrictions on when we leave the next day and cause it was super affordable! The views are pretty incredible, and surprisingly easy to get to. We got to the site with a 2014 Camaro, so only rear wheel drive and only 7 inches of clearance. It got a little rough once we got to the dirt road which is a couple miles I'd say but we'd be fine even with a lower vehicle. The actual site was super clean, cozy, and a very secluded feeling. We could hear some highway noises, and a chainsaw in the distance. Perfect spots for tents and chill spots. loved having a form of a bathroom at the ready, as well as a full propane grill with table and chairs. The setup is simple and perfect. The only 2 negatives are that we paid for the 5 gallons of water that we never got but we came with enough anyways plus we came with very short notice, (which we are super grateful Erica got back to us as soon as she did and had really good communication.) Lastly was the bees. There are tons of bees but not a hive they are just kind of everywhere. But after a while we realized they kinda have the behavior of flies so not very aggressive just annoying, and they completely disappeared when the sun went down. Overall, a great camping trip,

Absolutely loved the Lookout! The site feels super private & secluded (wildflowers everywhere!) yet you are still very close to Cripple Creek, Victor, and all of the great trails the area has to offer. Communication with Erica was excellent, from detailed directions to making sure we had everything we needed and were happy with the site. The weather wasn't quite as welcoming, so we definitely want to return for another stay in this beautiful spot soon!
