The view was gorgeous and the neighborhood was quite and secluded! Very close to plenty of trails and Red Rocks!

Such a beautiful site, up high in the mountains and tons of wildlife! A mama deer and her two babies made a visit to the site, it was an amazing experience. Eric was also very nice and accommodating! If I am ever back in this area I most definitely would come back to camp here!

Great site. Saw deer and a fox almost every night of our stay. A bit of a hike down to the tent pad but that's to be expected. Overall A+

Our stay at Eric's was perfect for what we needed! Just a nice, safe, quiet, affordable place to lay our heads after exploring Red Rock's and Denver. Be mindful that it is a slight uphill walk to where the car is parked, so if you are planning on doing a lot of cooking just keep that in mind! Since you'll have to leave your food in the car because of bears. This spot is perfect if you're mostly going to be out and about during the day. It's really easy to find and it's really accessible to freeways. I loved how safe it felt and Eric was so nice and accommodating.
