Amazing spot by the creek that we lucked into during the fall colors. True high country working ranch with great hospitality.

We absolutely loved our stay at Valley of the Bear Ranch and will be back next summer! Our 16 month old loved visiting the animals and the tractors. The camper spot is secluded by the creek with wide open views of nature and a sheep pasture. Barb was a lovely host and took time to show us the land and introduce us to the animals. We bought some of her lamb, beef and eggs to cook onsite and take home with us - it is all delicious. Highly recommended!

Amazing spot! Had a great time here. Easy to find and access. Camp spot is right next to a creek, plenty of flat area, surrounded by cute farm animals. Highly recommend if you need a place to stay for the night.

Unbelievable setting and hospitality. The creek and cows serenaded us all night. The fresh eggs and ranch raised beef were terrific. My favorite add on was feeding a baby goat. My husband loved the livestock guardian dog, Jessica who was super sweet with our puppy.

This was my wife and I’s second time at Barbs place, and this time we bright our daughter, son in law, and grandson with dogs up to camp. We knew the kids work love it there and it did not disappoint! Route County had a fire restriction so that’s how it goes these days. We had no fire, but we made memories nonetheless!
100% would recommend this hip camp site and Barb was very helpful and the baby goat feed was pretty epic with our grandson.

We had a delightful time at Valley of the Bear Ranch! The campsite is picturesque, right by the river, surrounded by the sweetest animals and beautiful views all around. We eagerly awaited our nightly visit by the resident guardian dog Jess. Barb has created the most wonderful and welcoming space and we highly recommend!

Exactly as advertised. Very private pasture with good views. Cute baby goats to watch. A friendly guardian sheep dog will come to visit. The site is relatively level with a picnic table.

We loved it. We hope to come again.
If you ever read Ivan Doig or Wallace Stegner or maybe watch the prequels to Yellowstone and wished you could experience a sheep ranch; this is the real deal. Land this beautiful is very hard to find.
The campsite was clean and freshly mowed. The eggs were delicious, the firewood more than we could use and the dog amazing, friendly and well behaved. The goats and sheep are beautiful and highly entertaining.

Overall this is a wonderful campsite with many beautiful features. It is lovely with gorgeous scenic vistas, next to a river and some very curious livestock who love people watching. The hosts were very kind and accommodating- especially when we got stuck in traffic and had to keep pushing back our meeting time.
The only drawback was that I do think that the description is a bit misleading - there are no “occasional” cow-pies - the entire campsite seems to be a part of the area where livestock move through so it is completely covered in animal waste. Perhaps this is not bothersome to campers who are in RVs or camping within a vehicle but for tent campers like ourselves you might want to take that into consideration.

Can’t say enough great things about this spot. Barb and Jeremiah were wonderful hosts! Very responsive and kind. Provided delicious eggs and firewood ready when we got there. Views were amazing and unobstructed. Right on the river with spot for hammock. Not tons of shade but did have small shady spots by river during the day. Loved walking to see all the animals. We definitely would go back!

We loved camping at this spot! It was great seeing all the different animals and the dog was super sweet. The field of wildflowers were fun to frolic in. The space felt private and removed enough from the main property. The eggs and wood from Barb were a definite plus! Even in rainy and windy weather we had a great time!

Private. No toilet. Bring shade. Pack out trash. No cell/internet. It was perfect space to get away with kids and feel safe. We love the ranch dog. Wish we could have met the baby goats. Stagecoach resevoir was a fun day adventere nearby,. Antlers Inn is yummy!

We loved pitching a tent right next to the creek and listening to it all night. The tent site has open views of the Yampa Valley. In the morning, Barb let us feed the goats and sheep. This is a beautiful, quiet spot that we would recommend.

We really enjoyed camping on Barb’s ranch for the weekend! She and her husband welcomed us in and showed us our spot along the creek with a picnic table. We got add-ons for wood to use their fire pit and fresh farm eggs that were delicious for breakfast. Their sweet farm dogs made us feel safe and loved seeing sheep and goats nearby! What a treat!

We loved staying here. The campsite is peacefully secluded next to the river in a beautiful pasture. Barb was such a lovely and welcoming host. She even met us at the goats and let the kids feed them treats! We will cherish the memories we made here.

My girlfriend and I spent two nights on the spotted fox meadow and it was fantastic! The camping spot was very secluded from the main house and situated perfectly next to the river. Jeremiah was extremely welcoming and had the best recommendations for food and hikes. We had and amazing time getting to know all the animals on the working ranch, especially the dogs. Start gazing is an absolute must at this campsite.

We had a great, relaxing time camping on Barb's land! Barb and her wonderful two dogs greeted us when we arrived. The site was perfect for our truck camper and our friend's camper van. We will definitely go back when we're in the area. I highly recommend it!

Barb has an amazing spot to camp and was very hospitable. The camping site has beautiful 360 views of the mountain and feels really private and spacious. Bath and Jeremiah were really welcoming and helped greatly with our car troubles too. I would recommend this site

We loved spending a couple of nights on Barbs land. It was beautiful, peaceful and very private! Exactly what we were looking for.
Barb came to meet us as soon as we arrived and gave us some information on the site. The back field has beautiful views of the Flat Top mountains and is perfect for sunset fires.
Can’t wait to return!

Camping here was a dream. They have such a beautiful spot tucked away where you can truly feel at ease. Jeremiah was great to hang out with and was a great host. Barb was out of town, but I’m sure she’s just as great as Jeremiah.

Coming from Denver, driving to this camp spot is a gorgeous 2.5 hour drive. When we arrived, Barb and her family were nothing but absolutely the most hospitable. Even while operating a full farm, they made time for us and made us feel so very welcome. All the animals were so very sweet. We walked the farm and saw the beautiful cows, sheep, goats, and chickens. Not to mention, I had to fight the urge to take their two sweet dogs home with us. The two dogs both came by our campsite to check in on us from time to time and I’ve never seen two more well behaved sweethearts. The campsite itself had mountain range views on both sides and the sound of the river overnight was unmatched. We walked along the river for a nice private walk during our stay as well. The picnic table and fire pit were just right. The entire site is pushed back to the back of the property and so very private. There was no sound from the road or anything. We even made the mile and a half walk to town during our stay to grab a beer. It was perfect. Every request was immediately answered by Barb and her lovely family. I would recommend this campsite to ANYONE. You are in GREAT hands!

Spacious, quiet, and an absolute looker. About 2.5 hours from Denver and it feels like an entirely different Colorado. Was looking to get away and unwind and this location did not disappoint. It is easy to access and extremely spacious. Barb greeted us on the way in and was helpful and courteous. The picnic table, fire pit, wood, and facilities made it a nice night. Livestock roams the property from time to time and makes the experience worth the drive! 10/10!
