Remote, dark, quiet. Not much to it, but it is really close to great hiking. I saw multiple shooting stars. Spectacular.

Beautiful spot. Loved the views from the outdoor potty! No signal at all for AT&T. I had to drive back to Twin Lakes to communicate with the world.

Quiet, peaceful, dark. Near cool stuff.

Quiet, secluded spot. There are homes nearby, but you won’t see anyone. We heard some far away voices and a dog barking a few times, but otherwise it was peaceful.

The shade tarp over the picnic table was awesome. It cooled the site down by 10 degrees, it seemed. The little overlook is nice. We didn’t catch a sunset, but I’m sure it’s lovely.

I brought my [email protected] camping trailer up there and was mildly challenged by the road into the site. Going slow and watching for branches was key. The area I could park was not level, so if you’re going to bring a small camper, bring your levelers too.

Nice spot. About an hour from Salida. I will return.

Pros: The views were spectacular and access to Eleven Mile very convenient. It’s a quiet spot.

Cons: The last 4 miles when you turn onto the dirt road is a serious washboard. Add 20 minutes to the drive if you’re hauling a trailer and don’t want it to look like an earthquake hit. Also, there are many many cows who will walk near or through the site. Not a big deal if you don’t have dogs.

I would stay here again, no doubt. It’s a nice spot. We had no problem with the winds, but they did pick up quite a bit.

Quiet. Beautiful views. I already have reservations to return.

This was the perfect escape from reality that I needed. As you’re driving down this long, washboard riddled road for 9 miles you wonder, have I made a mistake? Then you turn onto an even rougher road with big rocks and ruts and wonder, is this right? When you finally pull up to the sight (directions were spot on, by the way), you think, ah yes. Perfect.

Yes, it’s remote. But yes, it’s quiet, clean, and beautiful. The little table left for use was awesome. We didn’t light a fire, but the firepit was nice too. There wasn’t much shade or ability to set up in the shade if you’re a tent camper, so bear that in mind if it’s a hot trip.

I dragged my little teardrop trailer down there without much issue. As the host states, just go slowly. My dog had freedom to roam and sniff all the sniffs yet still stay close and safe.

I had a decent signal with AT&T most of the time. I will definitely be back!

I didn’t actually get to go because of the weird Blizzard of May 2022 in Colorado. I look forward to getting out there over the summer when there isn’t a foot and a half of snow on the ground!

Andre was very responsive leading up to the weekend and I’m sure is a great host.

I had high hopes based on the reviews, but it seemed like I wasn’t expected. The bathroom and advertised areas to cook and hang out in the barn weren’t ready for company. Also disconcerting for me was that the gate in and out of the site was locked when I was ready to leave early the next morning. Joe quickly remedied the issue, but not knowing the combination or how to get out was not a good feeling.

This spot was exactly as advertised - quiet, great views, easy access to adventure. Alex was a great host. I love that he was honest about the fire damage from the Lava Fire last summer. The site itself was fine, but if you wandered away from the site, the burned brush was pointy if you didn’t watch your step. My dog and I explored anyway without issue.

Plenty of space for two trailers in one spot. We could see the second spot, but no one was there all weekend.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
