I was excited to stay here just from the photos and the description…. Then we pulled up.
It was private, boutique, and romantic. I see why it doubles as a wedding venue.
We were only able to stay one night but it was enough to get us hooked. The host and hostess were communicative, thoughtful and had outfitted the whole property perfectly. It hardly felt like camping. We lucked out and had the whole place to ourselves- the bistro lights, nearby orchards and proximity to town made it easy to unwind after traveling.
We can’t wait to stay again- for a couple of nights.

It’s pretty rough and rustic, but it’s quite pleasant when you park your rig right on the shore of the lake and focus your views that way. I enjoyed walking around and exploring the property. They’re actually four or five lakes in the vicinity. I’m used to amazing views so I did not find the the views as spectacular as some other others said, but the sunrise and sunsets are very, very pretty and very worthwhile. Peacock’s next-door, which is really fun, also heard sandhill cranes, plus of course, tons of other birds.
My cat had a fabulous time exploring everything.
It was a super convenient location to visit with friends in various parts of Palisade and Grand Junction. The host is super chill, appreciated.Would definitely stay there again.

15 ft travel trailer
Great spot to camp with electric, also an outdoor shower, hot and cold water, and toilet.
Dirk was a great host. Rode bikes into town and went on a great hike. Highly recommend it.
