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, 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.
Please help yourself to eggs up at the coop - look for the Venmo QR. The chickens free range during the day, so please MIND YOUR DOG.
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

"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."

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.

Tucked away on 8.5 acres at the edge of Boulder, Vali Soul Sanctuary is the kind of place that feels worlds away from the city, yet sits just minutes from downtown.
Located at:
6717 Valmont Rd.
Boulder, CO 80301
Mature trees, green lawns, community fire pits, a small pond, and flat areas perfect for tents, vans, and car camping create a nice place to stay for a night or few. The land is irrigated and stays lush throughout the season, with paths winding through the property that make it a joy to explore on foot.
The property is home to a vibrant community event space that hosts gatherings, music, ceremonies, and celebrations throughout the week.
Expect good energy and, occasionally, a thumping bass line in the evenings (usually Tuesday nights until 10 p.m.).
The property is quite large, however, and most campsites are several acres away from the event area, where the music is barely audible. Learn more about upcoming events on our Facebook group (still working on it).
Daytime is for hanging out, exploring the grounds, relaxing under the trees, or simply enjoying nature on the edge of Boulder.
Mosquitoes are part of the local ecosystem and can be plentiful in the evenings during certain times of the year. We're doing our part by installing as many bat boxes and propane traps as possible!
This property is best a small airport so expect some air traffic sounds from single engine planes in the daylight hours.
Please note that property management/ownership is currently in transition, so you may notice ongoing cleanup projects and improvements as we continue to develop the space and build a working website and event calendar.
If you're looking for a campsite with character, beautiful surroundings, community, and easy access to everything Boulder has to offer, Vali Soul Sanctuary is the perfect spot.

Beautiful views! Wide Awake was very accommodating when we asked if we could switch sites. We had a great time and even got to see a beaver and two moose right there in camp! Seriously awesome!

I had one of the best nights sleeping under the stars! It was quiet and the land felt sacred. Leaf had good energy, walked me through the property, and answered all my questions so I felt super comfortable. He also had good hiking recommendations. I would love to come back sometime!

Really neat place- the pond and paddle boards were a perfect way to cool off and have fun with a kid and a dog, and our campsite was lovely and shady. The hosts are so kind, and the water is something special. Had a wonderful time! Not the place to go if you want to get away from people, but it is tucked far back away from the roads, and very quiet overall. Would love to go back!

The location was beautiful, and the hosts were extremely kind. We had lots of privacy at our location, and saw two Mouse on the dirt road to the place as well. The heated water tanks were a surprise, but we did not experience them because we had our elderly pup with us. The hosts are super dog friendly, but we did not want to burden them with our pup being in the heated tank room. Wonderful experience all the way around. We will go back for sure.

We had such an amazing stay. The site we stayed at was above and beyond our expectations! Not only did my kids get to explore close to camp but also they had things set up for the kids to do. We really enjoyed being outdoors without the hassle of setting up our own tent and camp site. The outdoor kitchen was my favorite and of course we loved the outdoor shower. We are already palling our next trip we really really enjoyed it.

Such a peaceful property, with a very kind host! Leaf was helpful and happy to accommodate my few needs, and showed me around the property to get a lay of the land. I was lucky enough to be the only camper during my stay.
Calm and intentional vibes that I really appreciate when camping.

We made a sudden last minute decision to camp here on a Sunday night and boy were we glad we did. What a sweet spot! We had the place to ourselves. The kids loved paddle boarding (which were supplied for free plus life jackets). And the owner, Matt, showed us around the place. He is lovely and super helpful. And even gave us a tour of the soak lounge (which we were very sad not to be able to use--our kids are just too active and young). And we got to sample the Artesan spring water that they filter on site. We wanted to buy some to take home and completely forgot and now are super bummed. Best tasting water ever. So we will just have to be back. He let us catch-and-release fish in the upper pond. The place was clean and so were the porta-potties. We stayed at site #1 right on the lower pond which was amazing since we had the place to ourselves. But I think it might have been too crowded on a weekend so keep that in mind. We loved it and will definitely be back. Great spot and great hosts!

Some friends and I went for a 2 night getaway and we had the time of our lives! All of the workers were super friendly and even escorted us to our site when we first got there. At night, the sky looks amazing, especially when you hike up the mountain to the abandoned mine. Not only that, the swimmable lake was warm yet refreshing and a blast to be in. Overall, I rate this place 10/10 and I will 100% be coming back one day!

We have such a great weekend at this camping spot. It’s very secluded and away from everyone else which we loved. We will definitely be back
