We are on a leach field, no paper products please). Also, there are 7 dry camping spots, park on the gravel pad and enjoy the short walk-in to the camp sites. Because it's a working ranch we prefer if we personally show you the route to the site as we have exposed irrigation, irrigation ditches, and a pond. We prefer not to fish you out of the pond. LOL The Bear Family Ranch crew are up early and usually busy in the field, or around the ranch, as there is always something to do.! Bear Family Ranch has cows are here Feb/May and Sept/Oct all dependent on weather and availability of grass in the fields. When you arrive, we will assist you in getting you and your guests to your location. We have irrigation exposed in places, along with irrigation ditches we use, we don't want you and your loved ones to end up in the pond. LOL. Thank you! from all the family ranch hands at The Bear Family Ranch, and we are here to help. Someone is always here at the Ranch, and if you experience a problem, we can try our best to figure it out and 'get'Rr-dun!' The goats, Tom Brady and Darelene along with baby goats, Haas and Cinnamin, are very happy to see you, but you can't go inside with them, without a Ranch hand. We have ducks, Turkeys and chickens. Farm eggs, ice, and firewood are available for purchase as availability allows. Chickens have a say in the eggs, LOL Eggs $2 per dozen. Ice: $1 (one gallon zip lock bag, weighs just under 3 pounds per bag. There is a small store in the Salon, between the main house and the RV parking. The Salon is available with an appointment made at the Bear Hair Salon with April. There are limited use of the washer and dryer., and what is being washed, if you need to wash bulky or excessively dirty laundry we recommend the laundry machines in Fruita. Sewer goes into a leach field and can only handle so much water, thanks for your understanding and flexibility. Bear Family Ranch is a secluded and hidden ranch, you cannot see the ranch from the roadway. Originally farmed, by a bigger farm, "Hudson's Farm', then pigs in the 80's and 90's, the farm fell in disrepair and was purchased in 2021 by April and Brian. The Bear Family Ranch sits in a desert like valley with, trees in and around the property, there is a pond (not stocked) and the ranch has animals around. Go for a walk around the pond, explore the property, hike a mile to the Mack Wash (which is a small river) and you get there by crossing 1st creek, and winding through the small hills, down into the old flood area, and down to the river. Along the upper small canyon there are naturally formed mini rapids. You can mountain bike around the property. This is a bird watchers paradise. It's quiet with birds chirping, and there are grand views of the Colorado Monument, Grand Mesa, and the book cliffs. The sun setting on Colorado Monument it is "breath taking." This is relaxing location on a private unknown spot, with lots of space! We are 30 minutes west of Grand Junction. A family water park 15 minutes away. 1/2 a mile from the Annual 3rd week of June Country Jam, 2 miles from Colorado river, World Class Mountain Biking in Loma, Kokopelli trail, Horse Thief Canyon, 18 Road into the Fruita Desert, and Mtn Bike lunch loops in Grand Junction. 10 min from the Colorado Monument. 1 hour to the Grand Mesa, 1 hour and 15 min from Moab. The dry camp sites are a short walk, we have a pull wagon, if necessary one of our family ranch hands can use a quad with a trailer. This is because of periotic and seasonal wet rainy times causing incredible muddy conditions all over the Grand Valley we must have vehicles stay off of areas not graveled. For this reason, we currently do not have a park and camp sites. (**if dry conditions exist, and our necessary watering times allow, it may be possible to park closer, but there is absolutely no parking at the dry camp sites. This does not apply to the RV sites as they are on road base and gravel). Important, if needed we can provide specific directions to the property, upon contact through Hip-Camp, for peace of mind and due to some map apps don't give direct location.

Bear Family Ranch RV and Camping

10 sites · RVs, Tents150 acres · Mack, CO

Bear Family Ranch gives you a feeling of remoteness, west of Grand Junction and less than 2 miles from I-70.

When the sun sets on the Colorado Monument the monument comes to life. 3 RV and 7 dry walk-in camp sites. Originally farmed, by a bigger farm, "Hudson's Farm', then pigs in the 80's and 90's, the farm fell in disrepair and was purchased in 2021 by April and Brian. The Bear Family Ranch sits in a desert like valley with, trees in and around the property, there is a pond fed by an irrigation stream, the pond is not stocked at this time, there is a creek nearby, and a river 1 mile and on the property. Farm animals we have, most are in pins, but you are welcome to explore. Go for a walk around the pond, explore the property, hike a mile to the Mack Wash (which is a small river) and you get there by crossing 1st creek, and winding through the small hills, down into the old flood area, and down to the river. Along the upper small canyon there are naturally formed mini rapids. You can mountain bike around the property. This is a bird watchers paradise. It's quiet with birds flying and chirping. This is a very private and secluded location with lots of space! ARRIVAL: When you arrive, we will assist you to your spot, there are 3 back-in RV spots, on a gravel and road base pad, with 30A/50A, water, and limited sewer hook-up (see below). There are 7 dry camping spots, short walk to site from where you park. Roughly 400 feet. You will park on the gravel pad and enjoy the short walk into the camp sites. (See dry camping below) Because it's a working ranch, we prefer to familiarize you and your guests to the ranch and show you the route to the site as we have exposed irrigation, irrigation ditches, and a pond. We prefer not to fish you out of the pond. LOL. Near the camp sites we have provided an outhouse with 'camping' toilets. Thank you! from all the family ranch hands at The Bear Family Ranch, and we are here to help. Someone is always here at the Ranch, and if you experience a problem, we can try our best to figure it out and 'get'Rr-dun!' The goats, Tom Brady and Darelene along with baby goats, Haas and Cinnamin, are very happy to see you, but you can't go inside with them, without a Ranch hand. We have ducks, Turkeys and chickens. Farm eggs, ice, and firewood are available for purchase as availability allows. Chickens have a say in the eggs, LOL Eggs $2 per dozen. Ice: $1 (one gallon zip lock bag, weighs just under 3 pounds per bag, and firewood. There is a small store in the Salon, between the main house and the RV parking. The Salon is available with an appointment made at the Bear Hair Salon with April. There are limited use of the washer and dryer, and what is being washed, if you need to wash bulky or excessively dirty laundry, we recommend the laundry machines in Fruita. Sewer goes into a leach field and can only handle so much water, thanks for your understanding and flexibility. The Bear Family Ranch crew are up early and usually busy in the field, or around the ranch, as there is always something to do.! Bear Family Ranch has cows are here Feb/May and Sept/Oct all dependent on weather and availability of grass in the fields. We are 30 minutes west of Grand Junction. A family water park 15 minutes away. 1/2 a mile from the Annual 3rd week of June Country Jam, 2 miles from Colorado river, World Class Mountain Biking in Loma, Kokopelli trail, Horse Thief Canyon, 18 Road into the Fruita Desert, and Mtn Bike lunch loops in Grand Junction. 10 min from the Colorado Monument. 1 hour to the Grand Mesa, 1 hour and 15 min from Moab. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: DRY CAMP SITES are a SHORT WALK. Roughly 400 feet. We have a pull wagon, if necessary one of our family ranch hands can use a quad with a trailer. This is because of periotic and seasonal wet rainy times causing incredible muddy conditions all over the Grand Valley we must have vehicles stay off of areas not graveled. For this reason, we currently do not have a park and camp sites. (**IF DRY CONDITIONS EXIST, and our necessary watering of grass it may be possible around the camp sites, we can allow you to park closer, but there is absolutely no parking at the dry camp sites. (This does not apply to the RV sites as they are on road base and gravel). DIRECTIONS: If needed we can provide specific directions to the property, upon contact through Hip-Camp, for peace of mind and due to some map apps don't give direct location. LIMIITED SEWER (If you need to dump grey or black from your tank, please help us keep our leach field from being saturated, If you need to dump grey or black water from your RV we recommend the really nice rest area in Fruita, EXIT 19 off of I-70, which has a free dump station. We are on a leach field, no paper products including toilet paper into the sewer, please and thank you. CHECK-IN is between 1 pm-8 pm, any sooner or later please notify the Host through Hip-Camp, for possible arrangements to change the check-in time. Check out is 11 am.
