There is a 6-person tent set up near an old loading shed with a queen sized cot, an available metal fire pit, wood, and plenty of space to spread out or pitch additional tents. Plenty of rock outcroppings surround the space to give you your own private retreat. Please note that our road does include passing our neighbor on your way up.

If you want to camp in privacy and enjoy the idea of staying near a working goat farm, with chickens, guinea fowl & a rooster you will likely hear, the ability to quickly get into BLM and hike the many trails then this is place for you!

Gondola Village at Holy Cross is a little sanctuary in the mountains between Aspen, Vail, and Leadville, Colorado. There is little else in the area except for the next door Holy Cross Wilderness, with a lifetime worth of trails, lakes, and peaks to explore -- all accessed from a trailhead only two plus hours from Denver. Gondola Village at Holy Cross has direct access that many only dream of to Colorado's water wilderness, and some of the best backcountry skiing, hiking, scrambling, backpacking, and fly fishing in the Vail / Eagle County / Leadville / Aspen area.
Our modern alpine cabins (Alpine Gondola Lodge and Lost Gondola Lodge) are some of the cutest cabins you've seen, complete with a mix of amenities (think Coleman stove, Miir mugs, Rumpl blankets, Goal Zero Yeti, Metolius couch, a guitar, Dometic cooler, Sea to Summit shower, and more) to make your wilderness stay a bit more comfortable. Don’t forget your camera, and a good book (or read one from our large library while you’re up here).
Gondola Village at Holy Cross is at almost 12,000 feet above sea level (believed to be one of the highest altitude Hipcamps in the world). Gondola Village at Holy Cross has been featured on Discovery Channel’s Reclaimed, Airbnb's OMG! Fund, Arch Digest, numerous other publications and brand product shoots. The managers of this property have worked in modular construction (cabins, yurts, and homes) and hospitality for many years and have brought together some of the best Scandinavian and modern mountain design with a mining town aesthetic. With such challenging access (larger items can only come in via helicopter), each piece of furniture and amenity is carefully chosen.
The trip up can be challenging (only off-road, winch / locker equipped vehicles dare try the 759 Holy Cross City jeep road, others will need to hike in at least 2.5 miles), but the views and cabins are well worth the trek. For successful navigation without reliable cell service, a map app like onX is recommended. Snow free season tends to be June 15 an October 30 annually, and outside of this guests should be prepared for up to 11 miles of over-snow travel with no cars allowed (a bit less depending on snow coverage in the shoulder seasons from May 21 - early June and late October - November 21).

Tim was very helpful and responsive to all our questions! He helped us bring all our stuff up to campsite D in hand wagons. It’s a short walk from the parking lot but it is a little steep, so good to keep in mind while packing but really overall not a big deal. We still opted for the campsite a little further up. It was nice and secluded and we couldn’t really hear any of the other campsites. We were surprised to hear that Tim has only been doing Hipcamp on his property for a short while. He has it really dialed in. He had a dish basin, trash bags, a fire ring, toilet paper, camping chairs, and the best part was easily having access to potable water. Tim told us about all the changes and improvements he’s making to the property and we’re really excited to come back and see them all in future seasons!

Ginger’s place was excellent and even better than the pictures showed! The views were incredible and the inside was bigger than expected. I loved the outdoor shower. The bathroom situation is unique- I’ve never used a dry toilet before. The stars at night were super bright. Definitely recommend screenshotting her instructions on how to get to the property once you lose cell service but the instructions are very accurate. I purchased one of the hand made cards to send home which was a nice touch. The location is really close to Basalt but you feel like you’re the only one on the mountain. We used it as home base to go between Aspen and Carbondale. Would love to visit again.

My family adored the Aspen Yurt. We had to change camping plans last minute due to an injury, and once we found this location, we were sold. Our vacation was not canceled, just happily adapted. Aspen Yurt was everything we wanted, and it was so beautiful. Roomy enough for a grown family of 4. The outdoor freshwater tub was a hit, along with the beautiful outdoor shower.

My husband and I and our three Shelties spent five days at Pronghorn Oasis to relax, hike, and avoid the fireworks during the 4th of July week. What a beautiful place to camp! The weather is 20 degrees cooler than Denver and so very peaceful and quiet. I hiked the dogs off leash every day exploring the area (there are dirt single-track roads that run all over the South Park basin). We had such a great experience and can’t wait to return!

Ok...so we are hesitant about writing a review. Becuse we want to be able to book here again and not in 10 years. The campground is one of the most clean and taken care of we have ever seen. The owners have so much pride in their place and it shows. There was a fire restriction over the 4th unfortunately, so no fireworks or fires ( insert sad face). The owners took it upon themselves to feed the camp, serve cake and ice cream Sundays and provide live music for everyone at no charge. It was one of the most memorable 4ths we have had. Thank you for everything you did for us over the holiday weekend.

Tim is the best host ever! He was there to great us, late in the evening, to make sure we arrived alright and found parking. Then, he helped transport all of our camping gear to the site, and make sure set up went well. When we realized we forgot our sleeping bags, Tim offered us a glamping site so we could still camp and not get cold. Plus, he had extra sleeping bags for us to use! The tent site and glamping sites are 5+ with all the amenities you could hope for. The glamping tent cot is super comfy, all things were clean, tidy, and cozy. Can't wait for our next stay!

Host was super welcoming! Our site was gorgeous and very private. There's a creek that runs on along the perimeter and we were surrounded by Aspens. Clean bathrooms and laundry facilities. They also had live music for July 4th weekend. It looks like there's a mini stage set up year round for entertainment. Site wasn't really near anyone so noise wasn't an issue. During the day this site gets a lot of sun for those that are wanting to hang around at their site for most of the day. Would definitely recommend and return - especially in the fall!

4 nights at Basalt Mountain Homestead
Beautiful yurt with a great porch and great view! The solar setup worked perfectly for running the small mini fridge and charging devices. Kitchen was well-appointed, bed was comfortable. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Shanahan Goat Farm! Sadly we did not partake of the optional tour, but we could sneak a peak at the goats up the road! This was a great place to be out of the rush of everything but so so close to Buena Vista. We enjoyed the views and were glad they had put a table out for us to use-it helped a lot with getting set up. Jennifer was very easy to work with and we had no problems whatsoever!

Camping at Creekside Chalets at the Mt. Pahlone site was great. Sleeping next to the creek was very relaxing - and covered the sounds of the road pretty well. Sites clean and well-maintained. 15 mins away from Salida, a town that has everything you'll need. At the property you're surrounded by rental cabins. The walk down the lane to the porta potty wasn't too far, but a bit of an inconvenience. Porta potty was clean but heated up in afternoons. It would be nice to have a shower option. And a hot tub option! Mt. Pahlone site is the larger of the 3 campsites available. Staff was nice. We got checked in on twice. I'm glad we booked here.
