We offer a parking spot at night to have a quick safe place to stay. We do not allow the camper to stay multiple continuous days without leaving as you must leave during the day time, but are welcome to return at night.
---We sometimes have Buses leaving or returning to our facility late at night, so just know you might hear a large bus pulling in late at night.
---PLEASE DO NOT block our Iron Gate with the H on it, or stick out into the entrance of the facility. If you stick out too far, you need to park North to South , which is parallel to the wood fence with the customer parking signs on it. You can block the handicap signs also if needed. You are also welcome to park in between the building and the front garden bed area as well if you prefer. The ground is not too level there, so you will need to level your rv.

Jeremy has a wonderful spot here. I enjoyed the camping thoroughly - quiet and beautiful. The disc golf course is fantastic, although the terrain and wind got the better of this flatlander. It's in a great location for taking advantage of the nearby attractions without being in the thick of tourists.
When i was leaving, I zigged when I should have zagged and ended up taking the ~25 Mike Phantom Valley Road. While it happened as a fortunate accident, I'd highly recommend this alternative as the views are spectacular.
Well done, Jeremy.

What an incredible spot to stay. We were on the road just passing through and didn’t have time or energy to find a campground so we ran across this amazing spot right across from the red rocks open space. It was perfect and just what we needed for a safe easy stop for the night.
We hiked 6 miles the next morning with our two dogs
The host was amazing and communication was great. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again.!!!

What an amazing experience this was, staying at Erin's hostel! I'd never been to a hostel before but can say with confidence I'll definitely come back through the next time I'm in Colorado Springs. The atmosphere was welcoming, supportive, and I felt extremely safe. It felt a bit like a grown-up summer camp--there were activities every day, nightly dinners (for a super reasonable fee), and it was the perfect place to set up with my shuttle bus for a couple of days as I passed through. I would highly recommend it!
