Sorry but our zoning does not allow for any camping of any sort on our property. Come experience the Old West as it was and still is as you meander along the road through working ranches that were homesteaded back in the early 1900’s...their weathered log cabins still standing and often still occupied...others are close enough for a great “back in time” photo opportunity. As Colorado's open range law permits ranchers to graze their cattle without borders, you will often find them on the roadways or you may even get caught up in a cattle drive as the ranchers move their cattle from one pasture or paddock to another. Springtime brings all the calves and branding time! Observing the rancher, his horse, and dog working together is a genuine treat. Look along the roadside for sage grouse, in the open fields for pronghorn, down in the willows and streams for the bull moose, in the trees for the mule deer, and on top of the ridge lines for the elk. There are also bald eagle and osprey nests, alpacas, horses, sheep, and goats. All this just on the ride into Williams Fork Lodging! Our residence sits above this scenic panorama at the end of the road and adjacent to public lands tucked beneath Copper Peak on the Williams Fork Range. The elevation is roughly 8,500 feet and the 180 degree view is breathtaking...encompassing three mountain ranges, many peaks, pastures/meadows, forest, and ponds. Soak in everything from the glorious sunrises to enchanting full moons to brilliant stars that truly seem closer than they are…the view of the Milky Way is unobstructed by light pollution for outstanding celestial shows…and meteor showers are spectacular from the hot tub! We live on the same property as the Lodge and are quite self sustainable: hunting, fishing, gardening, gathering wild berries, and raising our own poultry meat. The Lodge and cabin are constructed of concrete and rock as well as high efficiency windows and takes full advantage of passive solar heat; backup heat and the hot water are provided by wood via an outside boiler maintained by us. if interested, Dale offers fresh baked caramel rolls and other enticing breads and/or meals. Every season has its own special beauty: Spring brings abundant wild flowers, contrasting greens of pine, aspen and sage. Newborn livestock and wildlife. Thunderstorms and brilliant double rainbows. Birds singing, chickens crowing and warm, quiet evenings are welcomed in summer. Our view of the fall colors are hard to match ~ the changing yellow, gold and reds quaking in the valley are quite beautiful. Winter brings diamond-sparkling white snow untouched by humans and cobalt blue skies and picture-perfect post card and right out your

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.

3 nights at Rocky Mountain Glamping

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.

Sunset runs LATE so you sooo much time to enjoy the sunset and golden hour.

Weekend Trip to The Bluebear at Y Double-K Ranch

Just finished my 2 night stay at Blue Bear. Upon driving up to the site the first thing we were struck with was a gorgeous mountain view. The site contains the converted shed with a loft bed, couch, wooden burning stove, mini fridge, microwave, wifi (starlink) and nice comfortable cabin decor. Outside the cabin was a table with 4 chairs covered by a retractable shade, an outdoor wood burning stove and a propane grill. The propane grill was a great touch especially with the current fire ban. Behind the cabin is a cold shower and an outhouse. Taking a cold shower in the early afternoon after a long hike felt amazing. There is a trail that leads behind the cabin that leads directly into the National Forest for exploring and wandering. My husband and I visited for our anniversary with our 2 dogs. The place was the perfect size for us and provided a romantic atmosphere. We were very impressed with all the small extras like the basket of extra water bottles and snack bars, paper plates and plasticware, lighters, hand sanitizer (in the outhouse and in the cabin), paper towels, and cleaning supplies. The location is in the back of a gated private property down a dirt road, which provided lots of privacy. For a dirt road it would be manageable for most cars, but I would suspect visitors in the winter would need chains and 4 wheel drive. Between the location, cabin, and amenities everything was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The tipi was amazing! Beautiful land! Great campsite.

Honestly, I am so tempted to not write a review cause I want to keep this secret so I can go whenever I want and not have it get popular. However I can’t lie even by omission. This was the best set up I have ever been in. The tent is great. The kitchen set up is fabulous. The area is great. There are lots of lovely seating areas. The patio/eating area is lovely. The shower has amazing water pressure and it was so nice to come “home” and shower after a hike. I cannot over state how relaxing and lovey this stay was. There’s a little road noise from being in a canyon and the port-a-potty is shared with another site but that in no way reduces the enjoyment of the location. Dot is lovely and responsive. I am literally planning on going back again this year.

We stayed in the tipi on Leaf's property for one night and it was a really nice space. He's a wonderful host who has created a special campground in the mountains. We appreciated the personal welcome and small touches like extra blankets for padding under our sleeping bags and the candles. The road in should be taken slowly, but it's not tough with AWD/4WD and is only about 20 minutes from Nederland.

Special. And Leaf was amazingly accommodating, genuinely wanting to ensure that we had a great time. I did everything good to ensure that.

What an amazing first experience with Hipcamp. Dot and Byron were awesome hosts and the tent and grounds were absolutely fantastic. I can’t say enough about how great these two are. You can tell how much love they have put into this place.

You can Glamp in in your own Frontier Tent, are you ready for adventure where gold miners use to prospect?

We had so much fun here! The site is amazingly well-stocked. The only things we needed to bring were food, clothes, roasting sticks, and swimming towels. Comfy bed, super nice camp kitchen, warm water for the outdoor shower, and so much to explore. It’s magical down by the creek. You can go into Rocky Mountain National Park before 9 am without a permit, and there’s an entrance (Wild Basin) just 20 minutes up the road, so we had a breakfast picnic by the lake and did a little hike one day. Dot and Bryon are great. I can’t wait to go back. Perfect for families who don’t want the effort of a full camping trip.

What a gem of a place. Unbelievable views of Indian peaks and super quiet panoramic vista. Hosts were kind and extremely helpful with everything we needed. The shower is fabulous. The toilet is immaculate. The picnic table and shade and grill and outdoor fireplace make for phenomenal cooking. I will definitely try to come back!

My husband and I celebrated his 67th Birthday by staying in the Tree House. The loft bed was very comfortable. The camping area was beautiful and relaxing! The port-a-potty was a short walk away, and well maintained. The dog Nukka was so sweet. I loved having her check in on us throughout the day! Amy was was very kind. We would love to go back again!

Weekend Trip to Old Homestead Campground

What a gem of a quiet, peaceful campground. Located between Walden and Granby, you can tell that this campground is a labor of love. Our rustic cabin was perfect and met our needs as a family of five. It had electricity and the refrigerator was wonderful. The bathhouse is super convenient and super clean. I appreciated having running water and the ability to have a shower if I wanted.

We loved staying in the Tipi Beehive & appreciated Leaf’s hospitality, guidance on staying in the area, and good energy! The land was absolutely beautiful & near our hike at Brainard Lake, which was super convenient. It was an awesome experience! We hope to return for deeper journeys in the Sacred space that People of the Honey offers & learn more from Leaf’s wise soul. Deep gratitude for you dear Brother!

This was a very fun and unique camping site. The full kitchen is very helpful. We loved all the games that were around. The site itself is gorgeous with a stream running through and ponds. Having a propane fire was nice because it was one less thing we had to worry about. The covered wagons having lights was really nice. Me and my husband and my six-year-old son stayed in one wagon. All around it was a very enjoyable stay. This is definitely GLAM-ping!
