Valmont, CO · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to our charming 2-acre meadow nestled in East Boulder. Just minutes from town - near bike trails, shops and restaurants. A great pitstop on your way to or from the mountains - or base camp for the adventures in Front Range. We aren't fancy, but we are convenient, cozy and safe. Gate code will be provided 48 hours before arrival.
We have spots in the wide open meadow for Tents, Motorhomes, Vans, Trailers, and Rooftop setups. The grounds are a bit sloped but we've got leveling boards (please leave them behind).
We've got Boulder's best eggs (help yourself up at the coop), a few walking paths through tall wild grasses, a campfire ring, solar shower, small sink, gas grill, and a lovely porta-jon that’s cleaned weekly.
We can handle RVs up to 45 feet - truck and trailer. It’s a big field, but a narrow, winding and steep gravel ramp to get in and out.
We have a community fire pit with free burn wood, though the big logs are few and far between; your own firewood is recommended - as well as an ax or saw. If it's windy, please skip the fire... the BFD is very strict about this!!
We have well water feeding a solar shower (only hot when the sun shines) and sink (non potable unless you have a filter).
We have a wading / dog pool continually refreshed from the creek. It’s a saving grace in the summertime. 8/29/26- creek is all dried up, pool is out of commission.
Well behaved dogs under voice control are welcome off-leash. If you find your dog to be problematic, please keep them on-leash. The chickens free range during the day, so please mind your dog. There is a 3-figure dead or injured chicken fee.
THE GOOD:
*Easy in and out location close to town
*Lots of sun
*Outdoor solar shower
*Cold creek water plunge pool
*Fresh eggs
*Good view of small airplanes
*Community fire pit
*Gas grill
THE BAD:
*Daytime road noise
*Small airport nearby
*No Generators - no exceptions
*Almost zero shade
*Shower only hot when the sun shines
*Pool is fed from a creek
*Good Morning Rooster
* No access to the pond on adjacent property
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
Safe travels!
Sincerely,

A-Lodge Boulder is a 30 room lodge just 2 miles above downtown Boulder, Colorado. We are located in a wilderness area of Boulder Canyon, right at the junction with Fourmile Canyon. We have three #vanlife sites and four tentsites for offer on Hipcamp.
We have a BRAND NEW barrel sauna, hot tub, grills, seasonal pool (Memorial Day to Labor Day), meeting space, outdoor beer garden, bathrooms and showers for campers and a wonderful trail to Betasso Preserve right from your campsite. The Fourmile Creek runs through our property along our large lawn area. Great views and you might see bear, deer, elk, moose, foxes, or even a mountain lion!
Walk-in sites are just a short hike, about 100 feet, on an unmanicured trail to our platforms. We provide the platform for your tent as well as access to all of our lodge's amenities; front desk, lobby, bar & beer garden, fire pits, grills, bathrooms, shower, outdoor common areas, free wifi, etc.
A-Lodge has a 7-day non-refundable cancellation policy. If you cancel within 7 days of your arrival, 50% of the total is non-refundable.
Our guests love us too! Check out what a fellow camper had to say:
"First time Hipcamper and A-Lodge visitor here, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re traveling to the Boulder area. The tent platforms were easy to get to and spaced far enough apart for privacy and generally a nice break from setting up a tent on a gravel pad. WiFi was stable throughout my visit and I was able to get some work done before heading home."

Nederland, CO · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Welcome to Camp Wilder! We are an off-the-beaten-path camp offering peace and solitude.
The cabin is very special to my family and me. It was passed down as a mining claim from my grandmother who founded it in the '60s. The vision for the land was simply perfect.
A small 10 x 10 cabin with the whole mountain to explore and whoever they wished to bring with them.
The town of Nederland is 10 minutes down the road where you can fish at Baker Reservoir. Lots of fun little stores in town to keep the family busy.
Wildlife is everywhere up by the cabin/campsite, always remember don't leave food lying around with lots of great things to look for around the magical town of Nederland.
The cabin sleeps up to 8 with the futon downstairs being very comfortable and 3" foam upstairs in the loft for more sleeping area. Bring your sleeping bags to stay cozy at night. There are lanterns inside to light up your night with a wood stove to keep you warm at night. The ground around it is sloped so you may have a hard time setting up any tents around the cabin.
The grocery store is in Nederland where you can buy food, Coleman green propane bottles, gallon jugs of water and wood. There is a 3 burner Coleman, stove to cook on with limited pots & pans as well as silverware.
Road disclaimer, the road to the cabin is one lane dirt road. The drive up to the cabin is pretty good but the turn onto the single dirt road to the cabin has a slight dip, if you have a low-clearance car it may bottom out when you are turning so be careful.
No Trailers. They will not be able to turn around once there.
Recommend vehicles with AWD. Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles. Park on the left. Hike down to the cabin between yellow stakes.
We are @ 10,000 feet and it is a slight hike to the cabin. Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles
When leaving please make sure both door locks are locked, put the key in the lock box and mix the code for the next camper.

Spend your days hiking or mountain biking on nearby trails, paddling or fishing on the reservoir, climbing at Horsetooth Reservoir’s famous bouldering areas, or simply finding a quiet place along the water. Fort Collins is also within easy reach, making it convenient to visit local breweries, restaurants, shops, and Old Town before returning to your peaceful mountain escape.
This is an ideal stay for couples, solo travelers, outdoor adventurers, visiting parents, or anyone looking for a relaxing Colorado getaway without giving up convenient access to town.
The real luxury here is the setting: fresh mountain air, dramatic skies, abundant wildlife, and panoramic views in nearly every direction. Bring your morning coffee outside, enjoy dinner with Horsetooth Mountain as your backdrop, and end the evening watching the city lights come alive beneath you.
Colorado’s foothill weather can change quickly, adding to the wild beauty of the experience. Guests should come prepared for sunshine, wind, cool evenings, and the occasional fast-moving mountain storm.
Wildlife may also pass through the area, so please admire animals from a safe distance and help us protect this special place by keeping the site clean and respecting the surrounding land.
Whether you’re planning an active weekend on the reservoir or simply want a quiet place to slow down and reconnect, this Horsetooth camper offers a front-row seat to some of Northern Colorado’s most spectacular scenery.
Come for the adventure. Stay for the sunset. Wake up to the mountains.

Nestled in the beautiful rocky mountains is historic Ferncliff, Colorado. Come experience wellness in the wild and your home away from home with our open back area perfect for the overnight dry-camp or small camper parking. Ferncliff sits just 20 minutes away from the town of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, known for their rustic mountain charm and incredible hiking/sightseeing. Our property has a couple other cabins within the 2 acres, and the van/camping spot is located in the back of the property.

Welcome to our property!
Please don’t remove any animals from the Ranch. We have guardian dogs that may come visit you. If they bother you please call us. Do not take them away from the Ranch.
This is a very scenic property, that is rich with history.
The Virginia Dale Stage Station is about three miles away and the overland trail has several branches going through here.
We are a fifth generation cattle ranch.
We are in Wyoming, on Highway 287 between Fort Collins, CO. and Laramie, Wyoming. We are still building out our property with a
General store, and Western Themed Town coming soon. We have campsites for RV’s or Tents. We have an amazing 1000 acres to have your own hiking, wildlife, birdwatching, adventure. We have great hiking and wildlife viewing, marmots, pronghorn, antelope, deer, elk, and an occasional moose. Birds of every feather gather here so bring your binoculars. Hikes include balancing boulders and rock formations. Wonderful stargazing, our stars are so bright it seems like you can reach up and touch them. We are a working ranch and do have livestock. Don’t mess with the bull.
Firewood, for $7.00 per bag.
The bags make a great trash bag when empty!
Do not bring your own firewood, as we don’t want more pine beetles and noxious weeds.
Due to the high volume of people coming in separate vehicles, after two vehicles per site, its $10.00 per vehicle extra per night. We have portable outhouses available.

Leaf’s land was beautiful and peaceful! My husband, dog and I booked very last minute (about 30 mins before arrival) and our host was so welcoming. There was enough space to have privacy but communal space to connect with others. We tent camped this time, and want to try out the teepee next!

As usual, People of the Honey provided a magical setting for an incredible experience. This time I brought my kiddos and we stayed in the tipi. They thought the tipi & the campfire, host Leaf & his guinea hens, and the full moon were all incredible (so did I!). It was a packed house this time and everyone was respectful of each other. So much love and gratitude for this place!

We thought we could park somewhere else. Found Bonnie through Chat GPT. She responded immediately and gave precise directions. Fortunately, the spot was three miles from where we made contact We did not actually stay in the RV but at my sons. However, had we done so, Im sure we would have loved it.

My partner and I were looking for a spot close to Denver after seeing a concert and chose this one after seeing it was only 30 minutes away. We wanted a site that would still offer us privacy and good views. This site exceeded these expectations and we were left with a comfortable and relaxing stay. Bonnie was extremely helpful and provided great communication. She shared the sites history that brought us even closer to the space and answered all my curiosities about the history! I highly recommend this site if you are looking for a convenient, but still relaxing and secluded stay as well as a warm and hospitable host.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about camp ACA, Chantelle, and her team. My husband and I found camp ACA for his first camping experience, and to help ease my anxiety around CO camping. Mission accomplished! Upon check in, Chantelle upgraded our accommodations to the most perfect micro cabin overlooking the aspens and valley due to rain. She made sure we had everything we needed, and helped keep us dry! Minutes after setting up camp, we saw one of their famous locals, a moose! To add to the fantastic-ness of camp ACA, their mission is one very near and dear to my heart. As someone in and an ally of the disability community, I was so excited to hear of all the amazing work ACA is doing to make nature accessible and more equitable. We will be back, many more times!

Great for escaping and reconnecting with nature.

2 nights at Creekside Paradise
We loved our visit to Yurtopia! It was one of the most unique experiences I’ve had camping or “glamping”! It was also only about an hour to Rocky Mountain National Park! Shawn was very accommodating and responsive and you can tell he loves and takes pride in both the Yurt itself and the land around it. We had a full night of rain one of the days we were there and everything held up well! However it seems owning a yurt is a perpetually ongoing process and the site and accommodations are PRIMITIVE! As long as you know what you’re signing up for and READ THE RULES AND INFO that the host took the time to write up you will have a wonderful stay. I know we did and I would recommend this site to anybody looking for a get away and chance to unplug for a bit. Thank you Shawn!
