Lovely Weekend Camping
William was an awesome host, super friendly and knowledgeable. The campsite was rugged, and the views were absolutely amazing. The only complaint I have is that the shower was broken, and we were depending on using the shower during our stay. The hike up the campsite is 3/4 of a mile straight uphill. If you are not in good shape, then this might not be the place for you. I took my parents here for the weekend with my husband and they are memories we will never forget. I would highly recommend.

Perfect bday getaway
Beautiful location, as pictured. Stove was helpful as it stormed as we were finishing our campfire dinners. Tent was roomy for our family of 4 and dog, although it leaked during the 2hr storm. Only downside were the biting flies which couldn’t be kept away even with lots of deer spray. Hike would be rigorous for those not in shape. Got to see the animals on our way home although missed the legendary Bill (though we read an article about him in this month’s Westward magazine).

Off the grid
Not for everyone, but a truly amazing and unforgettable experience. Great views and private site. Tent included fresh water with a pump, wood burning stove, chairs, paper towels, metal plates, and silverware. Porta-poty on site Must bring pillows and sleeping bags. Hike to site was not an easy one. 3/4 miles and 900 foot climb. William gave a tour of the ranch shared history of the property.

Great Staycation!
My boyfriend and I loved camping on William’s land. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the area. The tent is very private with stunning views. Highly recommend even just to get to know William!

This campsite has beautiful views of four fourteeners. The tent is spacious for a family. You’ll feel right at home especially with your welcoming host Bill, who was very happy to assist in every way possible and introduce you to all of his animals! Thank you, Bill!!! I highly recommend. Bring sleeping bags to stay toasty at night because it cools off at night.
