Set apart from the main house, sitting in Trujillo Canyon, and surrounded by BLM/National Forrest, its the perfect spot for recharging. Located off the beaten path so amazing for star gazing but also close enough to the Sand Dunes for day adventures. Our property is off the grid and allows you to disconnect for a little while and there is a nice creek to go and sit by. Each stay also includes a farm tour if you are interested. The night skies have little light pollution and are perfect for star gazing. We can't wait for you to come and stay with us!Don't take our word for it, guests love their stays with us! "We struck gold finding this magical place. The yurt was so cozy, comfy, and full of tons of extras that exceeded our expectations. We booked our little trip to visit the dunes, but this farm was by far the best part of our trip. We loved our walks to see all the animals. The camels and donkeys were so friendly!"

Base Camp Family Campground is owned and operated by the Baker Family. Josh Baker first lived in Southern Colorado in the early 90's as a child, but his family moved away after a short time. His desire to move back here as an adult prompted him to start bringing his own family to Colorado for vacations. They purchased land in the valley in 2014 and moved to Colorado in 2020. They are using all they've learned from years of RV adventures, to continue the park's mission of providing a clean, affordable, spacious, well-run camping facility, and to be a centrally located "base camp" and hub of information for everything this unique area has to offer.
You'll be camping in the shadows of 14,000 ft. mountain peaks, in the largest high-desert alpine valley in the world, that is sprinkled with free-flowing artesian wells, hot springs and wet lands. Daily summer temperatures average 65 degrees, and it will get down into the 50's at night. That's perfect camping weather!
For native American tribes, including the Utes, Apache, Navajos, and others, this valley is considered the source of life, a place where humans and spirit enter and leave this world. The valley was considered so sacred, that no war would be waged here.
The ET Connection
As if all of the mountains, deserts, hot springs, and sacred ground weren't enough, The San Luis Valley is also known as a UFO hot spot! UFO sightings have been reported as far back as the 1600's.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Glamping Tipis on Off-Grid, 70 Acre Working Ranch
My husband and I showed up late. However, Deborah turned on the Pilate stove for us, so the tipi was nice and warm when we arrived. The tipi is located on the ranch behind the house. Beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The stars were amazing! The mountain views were just breathtaking. We utilized the pond for fishing. Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything. But the horses put on a show for us. She had everything you could possibly need to be comfortable instead of having to go to the nearest store which was almost an hour away. Other than the spiders in the bathroom and shower it was perfect! I would definitely come back.

This was such an amazing stay. Incredible location in Abiquiu right on the chama river. I stayed with my 3 small dogs and it was so pet friendly. Robin is an absolute gem and was so welcoming and helpful. The Little Dipper had everything I needed, bed was comfy, and I could cook whatever I needed. It even has a tape deck and provided tapes to listen to music which is so fun.
The property has kayaks you can borrow, easy access to the river, hammocks, and a wonderful gazebo that I'll miss incredibly. It was super easy to find and there are so many fun animals that you can visit on the property as well. I also have to shout out the awesome outdoor shower, such a cute space with lots of hot water and amenities.
10/10 stay, can't wait to come back.

Group trip
Where do I start? This trip was so amazing! The landscape was absolutely pristine and the yurt was everything I needed for spending quality time with teen boys and daughter. There were creeks, fishing, cornhole, bikes, horses and that was just the surface of all the things we experienced. And the stars were phenomenal to top it off. Deborah was so kind, hospitable and willing to help make our stay as wonderful as possible. On last day, we stoped at their restaurant, Chili Dept Line depot, and had amazing food and pie. This trip absolutely one of the best travel experiences I have shared with my kids. This is definitely a destination you have to experience for yourself!

The only negative about my stay was that I didn’t stay longer. Kate was lovely, the yurt was magical, and the view was spectacular. Looking forward to going back for a longer stay

Really nice well set up yurt. Great views and privacy. Comfortable beds. Has lights, heat, power, and some water provided. Has a camp stove but we had a problem getting it to light, so we used our own. The only issue was some barking from nearby dogs intermittently during the night that woke me up a few times, but obviously that's outside the owners control. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

The yurt was clean and cozy and the composting toilet was well-maintained. The bed was comfortable. It can get quite windy on the mesa top and the stars are visible through the top of the yurt.

This is a very peaceful place where sunset hits the site perfectly. Everything you could possibly need is provided. It has a gentle, home-like feel. The bed is very comfortable as well which was a big plus after 18 hours of driving.
