Zuma Bike Ranch Rocks!

12 ft campervan · With pets ·

I love Zuma Bike Ranch🌈 They have a network of sweet riding trails, and a great shower for people and bikes! And they are steps away from the Phil’s World trail system, amazing!

Awesome views and fun trails!

15 ft pop-up camper · With pets ·

Zuma Bike Ranch was an awesome place to camp! Tons of natural landscape and beautiful views. Fun bike trails and bike skills areas are directly next to camp, making mountain bike rides super convenient! Outdoor shower worked great and was a nice rinse off after a long day of being on the bike. We will be coming back to Jake’s bike ranch again!

Very nice well defined sites with views and privacy and porta-potty. Excellent location with access to Phil's World's MTB trails. A plus is Jake's an excellent MTB teacher. We'll be back.

The campsite was easy to find with clean instructions and signage. It was very clean and cozy and safe! The portopotty was also clean and within close walking distance. Jake was kind, helpful and responsive. I highly recommend and would stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Zuma Bike Ranch! The property is peaceful, well-maintained, and perfectly set up for mountain bikers. Having access to trails right from camp made it easy to hop on our bikes and explore without ever getting in the car. A fantastic spot for anyone looking to ride, relax, and enjoy the outdoors.

Great Potential

21 ft campervan ·

We enjoyed the location, and thought the place has a lot of potential. The price ($40+fees=$50) for the amenities seemed a much. We would like to offer a few suggestions. We didn't have a chance to talk to the host, so maybe some of these ideas are already being considered. 1. Add picnic tables. Encourage people to sit and cook outside. 2. Gravel the parking pads. Currently the dust is pretty overwhelming. 3. Construct a vault toilet. My husband is 6' tall, and it is hard to "do your business" in a port-a-john. 4. A map of the trails and how it ties to Phil's World.

Gotta stay!

Great place to stay in a beautiful setting, especially for tent and/or car camping. Close to all the Phils World trailheads. There are even two short trails on the property. Plus a hot shower awaits you after the days ride. Jake and the dogs are wonderful hosts!

Zuma Bike Ranch is beautiful!

Tent · Group trip ·

Zuma Bike Ranch is a very special place! The sites are situated on private ridge overlooking a canyon and adjacent to awesome mountain bike trails. We've camped all across the country always looking for just such a situation, which we call the "unicorn of camping spots" (where you can ride right from camp). The campsites are very peaceful and have beautiful views right from the sites. On top of that, the host is gracious and super helpful. The hot shower was a big hit with our group. This place is very special!

Amazing host, amazing spot, amazing trail access, shower… The only decision is do we keep this place a secret? Nah, we wouldn’t do that to Jake and Zuma! Thanks for a great stay! Rob and Bonnie

Great camping close to Phil's World

20 ft campervan · With pets ·

This is a great option for camping given the low inventory of dispersed camping and options in Cortez. It's a gorgeous plot of land and close to lots of riding. Jake came to meet us when we arrived and was super kind and fun to talk to. There is a shower, port-a-potty and water station available, which is a bonus!

Great host, site, clinic, and trail

16 ft car ·

Zuma Bike Ranch is an excellent place for any mountain biker or even someone just passing through. I stayed at the ranch for a Ninja clinic which the owner of the ranch himself instructs. The site was clean and spacious, I had plenty of room to set up my Tacoma’s camper-topper and did not need any leveling in the parking area. There is a porta-potty onsite a short walk from the campground and also a shower. The shower is very well built, and heated (primarily solar with a natural gas backup), adjacent to the shower is a bike wash which is a nice touch if it were to rain. The best part about camping at the ranch is the access to the trails built by Jake. They have variety, will challenge your skills as a rider, and you’ll have a blast, best of all it’s right off the campground loop, call it bike-in bike-out camping. It was a great place to take a clinic but would be a solid base camp to warm up on some of the private trails before exploring all Montezuma county has to offer. This really adds to the value of staying at the site. I would for sure stay here again.

The Zuma bike ranch looks like a beautiful space. I can't wait to camp there sometime. Unfortunately, due to a pet emergency, we didn't make it for this reservation.

We had a great spot looking over the ridge to the canyon below and over to the La Plata Mountains. It was quiet and beautiful!! I participated in a mountain bike clinic all weekend so having a campsite and trails and incredible instructor right there made it an amazing experience. All the thanks to Jake! He's worked so hard at the entire property, but I was most thankful for a beautiful hot shower after a long dusty day.

Great spot - close to everything we wanted to do. Loved the semi-outdoor shower (hot!). Jake was a great host - attentive but did not hover. Overall a great experience!

Absolutely gorgeous plot of land in a great location. Site was level enough for our truck camper with just one little block for adjustment. Jake has some fun trails right on the property that drop down into a beautiful canyon, as well as a little skills area that my daughter had a blast on. Access to the northern section of Phil's World is 2 minutes of riding away, and that puts you on some really fun trails as well. Not far from town, or the other Phil's World trailheads as well. Thanks for the great stay!

Riding right from Camp

Tent ·

Great experience! Tent camping was awesome with great views. Very quiet, met some great people, porta potty super clean and the hot outdoor shower great. Best part was the fun trails within the campground and you were able to jump on the In and Out trails to Phil's North Cash trails. Jake, Jeannie, Yazzie and Sid were amazing hosts. Thank you! We'll be back!
