Welcome to Clear Creek Getaway Please understand that Please note these Mountains are home to a lot of people therefore I do not allow any open burning wood burning no one wants start a forest fire even though the county will say it’s OK for open burn. Please respect The neighbors they request that we do not have open flame. I’m sure you can understand. Beds : you will need to bring your own For the glam dome: file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/cd/13/3781DC46-F036-428E-BFC5-447B16E14D54/Image-1.jpeg Roads : This is a mountain getaway so the roads are dirt. If you have Awd and keep your speed up you will make it fine. The road is a loop the backside can have rocks so please drive up in high clearance vehicles no need for crazy lifted just SUV-Trucks type We are available all year round. No power in units. All A-Frames come with a grill and propane (see photos), and there is also a solar motion light on the deck.. Located 10 minutes by car from historic gold town Idaho Springs. River rafting when in season. We also have some of Colorado’s best fly fishing. Awesome hikes nearby (Gray's Peak). We are also close to st Mary’s Glacier, gold mine tours, great small-town restaurants (Marion’s pizza, Beau Joe’s) Hot springs within miles. We have portable toilets located close to the units Great views and there is an old mining cabin at the top if you find it please post your pictures! Georgetown lake 5 miles west I 70 Paddle boarding , train ride through the hills Grays Peak Fourteener 7 miles west I 70 St. Mary’s glacier 2 miles east I70 Hot Springs 2 miles east I70 All mining roads can be used for off-road purposes at your own risk. Be careful, very steep and rocky. ( Please note ) after tremendous amounts of work on the road, it seems 2wd cars cannot make it and this place is not suitable for those campers. Please do not block the road going up or the residence in the mobile home park on the front of the road. When coming from east exit 234 Dumont go left over I 70 to Stanley and then left behind the mobile home. Come from the west 235 go left under I70 at Starbucks turn right go 1/2 mile first right go back over I 70 to Stanley and harvest moon trail go left up behind mobile homes NOTE THIS IS LOOP DONT TAKE STEEP ROAD (GO TO THE LEFT).

you should really have 4x4 to get to the site there isn't any light in the cabin, if you are ready for that it could be a fun get away! there is also corn hole and a bbq super fun! but i would suggest bringing your own power source and a heater because they don't allow fires.

Lovely little site
Great value for money! I stayed two nights, the noise from the highway turns into white noise pretty quickly once you arrive. The road is also very manageable as I drove a stock crosstrek.

Blown away by this stay!!
I love this place. Everything about camping here was perfect. We even had 5 elk walk right up to our door. The host was responsive and helpful and extremely accommodating to our long stay. We had the best time as they were kind enough to upgrade our stay. My son and puppy were able to run up and down the mountain freely without worrying and were able TJ enjoy nature safely. It was fun to explore the site and the A frames were perfect. This is primitive camping, but if you come prepared you will feel at home. I want to come back and stay here every year. We stayed almost two weeks total and everyone in Idaho Springs, Dumont, and surrounding towns were so kind and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend staying here if it’s one night, two or a month! Lovely spot. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Globe
Our Honda Accord made it about halfway up before the loose gravel and steepness got to us. 4WD would be ideal, but if you’re comfortable with your vehicle and have some skill, you can make it up to the first 3-4 lots. We ended up staying in the Globe for 3 nights and it was fantastic! Only downside is hearing I-70 but other than that it was really awesome. The bed in the globe is comfy and linens are provided although I’d recommend dressing appropriately for the nighttime temps. Rick was super helpful and timely in his responses, and we will stay here again if able.

Base camp C-3
We had an 8 person tent up at C3 and it was great. Clear path to see the stars from the tent. Very kind host. Great check in and check out time. Great price. Excited to try this place out again. They sound like they have a lot of great plans for the future!
