Aspenwald Tent Site 2
Aspenwald was great!!! 10/10 would recommend. The host, John was attentive to his land rental. He checked the tent site days before we arrived to let us know what to expect. Some spaces were a bit water logged, but not uncomfortable at all. We expected a cooler stay, so the wetness was not a surprise. I anticipate the camp sites would all be dry june/July. Our site was cool & dry and John provided plenty of firewood for the site. We are already making plans with Family to return! Beautiful landscape, quiet, and we even had wildlife visit us our first morning! The only thing we didn't love was having to walk through other campsites to get to the firewood/toilet but not a deal breaker by any means!

Snow Camping At Aspenwald
This Hipcamp sits tucked between mountains nearby the Pike-San Isabel National Forest off a network of gravel roads. It offers 5 walk in campsites surrounded by Aspens behind a locked fence for a little extra security.
While I would highly suggest camping here, I think I may have missed the ideal season at Aspenwald since all the leaves had fallen and thin layer of snow covered the ground, providing a little less tree cover than usual. Either way, this campsite was easy to find and access based on the directions, and have everything I needed for a night outside.
I camped in campsite 4 which is the closest to the parking area to access campsites 1-4 (5 is a drive in site on the other side). All campsites had fire pits, level land to pitch a tent, and were surrounded by trees. At this time of year you can see the road from the campsite but traffic was low. Campsites 1-4 are walk-in and be aware that you have to walk through campsites 2 and 3 to get to 1 which is the farthest away. All campsites are fairly close together so you will never have to travel too far from your car.
Highlights include the fire wood shed which made starting a fire easy, even in the snow, the surrounding mountain views that you could catch from the far side of the campground and on the surrounding roads, and of course being surrounded by the unique Aspen trees!

Aspenwald Tent or RV Site 5
quiet cozy land
Nice quiet property, unfortunately had lots of snow when we went but what we could see was beautiful. The stars out there were absolutely breathtaking…too bad it was 18 degrees. The dirt road was a bit bumpy but once you gain the courage to go the speed limit the suspension takes over and it’s not too bad. Also had zero reception once we hit the dirt road, so be prepared! overall great location.

Aspenwald Tent or RV Site 5
The ground was uneven so I needed some leveling to sleep flat. Other than that, it was fantastic. 10/10 would book again. Quite & beautiful space with free firewood included

Really nice spot
We only stayed one night but it was great! We picked site one for the fire pit and rock formation. It was everything we expected! Road wasn't to bad at all, the only slight negative was the walk from the parking area to the site and honestly even that wasn't bad just recommended you have a wagon to haul your gear down. Yes there is a road right by it but you could only see the backside of our tent from the road and there is hardly any traffic on it so it doesn't disturb you

Great trip!
The site was beautiful! You will have to walk past multiple other tent sites but it’s not too awkward. There is only one drive in site, I wouldn’t try and drive your car in past site 4 unless it’s a smaller 4 wheel drive car! The aspen were out of this world on October 7th! We met John briefly and he and his family were super nice. The dirt road is 11 miles long to get to the site so just be aware and make sure your suspension can handle some washboard.
