This property has been in my family since 1900. It is still a working farm/ranch but we are looking to let a select few others enjoy our property. My grandfather built the lake with a d9 cat bulldozer in the 50's and we are just completing a sediment clean out and refurbishment of the lake. All of the trees were planted by my great grandfather and they afford lots of wildlife cover; wild turkeys, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, etc. The area we selected for camping is in a bowl so you have good privacy. The lake is stocked for fishing and because its private, no license is needed. The fishing hole and swimming hole are separate from the main lake and offer cheaper accommodations.
We limit ourselves to 2 campsites to the 100 acres, so there is plenty of privacy. There is some road noise and smell from the local dairy that is about 1/2 mile away if the wind is right.
Simple private camp spot - there is a swimming/fishing hole with dock and ladder. There is a year round creek and some small islands that can be explored. Fire pit, portapotty and propane grill are available. Potable water and sewage dump is available at main residence but not at camp site. This is designed to be a family friendly area that's great for younger kids. Area is also a pasture so cows and cow patties could be encountered and wild deer and turkey are around. If you have a larger family than 4 remember hipcamps policy is that younger children do not count towards the limit.

When the farm house was built in 1909, the cabin was already here. We bought the weed patch with the intention of starting a flower farm. It was a cattle feed lot years ago and the soil should be very fertile. We'll use the composted manure in the Spring.
Learn more about this land:
Farm land off I-76 and Hwy 6. Set up camp under old cottonwood trees, between the wild plums and spruce trees. 31267 Road U, Brush CO 80723. Prewitt Reservoir and Elliot State Recreational Area nearby. Sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. See the stars at night. Wake up to the rooster's crow. We have alfalfa and corn to the north and grasslands to the south. Outhouse/port-o-potty is available. The train adds to the country feel. Irrigation ditch runs at least two days a week. Our chickens are friendly and used to dogs. Site #1 is better for small vehicles and tent camping. It is more protected. Site #2 is better for large RVs and trailers.

Such a beautiful, quiet property. An even more beautiful sheepwagon! Such a cool idea.
Shannon has made it so extremely comforting inside, and I was so warm with the heater and all of the cozy bedding. Such sweet animals - including a cat to keep me company each time I used the bathroom in the barn haha.
Thank you so much for opening up your space, coming from Pennsylvania, this was a great visual opportunity for me to gain inspiration in the life I feel called to.

We pulled in late, and Andy was there to meet us and help us find the site in the dark. The site was clean, quiet, and level. We were there for a short time before an early flight in the morning, so we didn’t use the amenities, but it had a table and chairs, outhouse, and access to water. Great spot for anyone looking for a place to stay near the airport.

Weekend Trip to Silent "P" Ranch
The property was extremely beautiful and Shannon was very kind, friendly and accommodating. The wagon was charming and the decor was very inviting. There was even a friendly farm cat that came and said hello to us! The trip felt magical overall. Wonderful hosts, wonderful scenery, and very welcoming.

We needed a place to test some new gear, and this spot has a nice small town, Brush, just minutes away. The location is a backyard of a small ranch with chickens and very nice shade. Fair warning, there are trains passing through, the tracks are approx 1250 feet from the site. The host is as nice as they come, very accommodating and the area itself has virtually no traffic, but the freeway is within hearing distance as it runs parallel to the train. If you're looking for something centralized in Northeast Colorado, this is an excellent choice.
Also, a curious yellow dog may wander nearby, just checking on you. He's friendly and keeps his distance, so nothing to be alarmed about. He's probably the neighborhood watch.

Very easy to get to and perfect for what we needed. Andy was incredibly nice, helping us get to our site and even assisting with hooking up our RV! The land was so beautiful in the morning and our dog loved running around in the doggy play area. You won’t regret booking here!

I am so grateful that Eric is sharing a bit of his heaven. I grew up on a small farm in Poland , so sounds of chickens , or goats , is something I am used to. Maggie (the pig) visited us in the morning , sadly we missed her, so she decided to leave a little souvenir 💩 in front of the stairs to show she was there 😂 That made me laugh so hard, and again brought back the memories , when I was on poop scooping duty 😂 you stay on a farm , so be prepared for that kind of thing and do not complain. I personally loved everything about this property, and I can also easily say that I made friends with horses.
Couldn’t stop petting the goats , and simply enjoying the simplicity of that kind of life. I totally recommend this place for those who appreciate farm living!

Great host and some pretty killer views! Andy has worked hard at providing a lot for his guests. Outdoor furniture and shade canopies for tent campers and RVers too. We were headed west and wanted a one night stay near Denver. Worked out perfectly for us. Will stay here again if ever passing through.
FYI, there is a great grocery store in Bennett, King Soopers, where we could restock everything for our trip.

Overview
About
Often referred to as an “oasis in the plains,” Jackson Lake draws visitors with one of the largest reservoirs in Colorado, perfect for swimming, boating, sailboarding, jet skiing, and water skiing. Anglers can go fishing year-round—winter ice fishing is a must-try. There’s plenty to do on land too, including hiking and biking trails, OHV trails, and educational programs, while the location along the Central Flyway attracts bird-watchers and hunters. Stay overnight to appreciate the park’s International Dark Sky Park status—you’ll find 251 campsites to choose from, including RV sites, tent sites, and a group campground, all with picnic tables and fire rings.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for boaters: The Pelican Campground is the closest to the marina and boat ramp.
- Best for swimming and entertainment: The Cove Campground is located right by the west swim beach and amphitheater.
- Best for large RVs: The Lakeside Campground can accommodate RVs up to 60 feet and offers 20-, 30-, and 50-amp electric hookups.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- All campsites require a reservation. Make a reservation as soon as you know your dates during peak season—they can be booked up to six months in advance.
- If your plans are flexible, try to visit the year-round park during the week, during non-holiday periods, or in winter for the easiest time securing a spot.
- Seasonal opening and closing dates vary by campground. The Cove, Pelican, and Lakeside campgrounds are open year-round.
When to go
Peak season is from April to early September. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, programs are available on Friday and Saturday evenings at the amphitheater. Boating is allowed from when the ice has melted to October 31, while the lake usually freezes from November to mid-February for ice fishing and ice skating. Showers and flush toilets are winterized during the off-season (fall, winter, and early spring), though vault toilets are still available. Hunting is permitted from the Tuesday after Labor Day to the Thursday before Memorial Day.
Know before you go
- Boat, jet skis, and other water sport equipment rentals are available from the Shoreline Marina.
- Swimming is permitted in designated swimming zones only, and no lifeguards are on duty.
- Fishing licenses are required for those over age 16.
- Hunting is permitted at two designated areas within the park, using shotguns with birdshot and bow and arrow only.
- There is one accessible campsite (#35) at the Lakeside Campground.
- Bring bug repellent—mosquitos can be an issue here.
- Fires are only permitted in provided fire pits. Do not collect firewood or bring firewood from another state.
