100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not allow campfires at our campsite at any time, regardless of fire bans or not. We had a fire hit our property last summer and no longer feel comfortable letting visitors have fires in such a high fire danger region. Thank you for understanding! Wild Abandon Ranch is a gorgeous 50 acre property that we purchased in March of 2023. Sadly, the property had been abandoned and neglected for over 20 years and we are doing our best to breath some new life into her. We are chasing those land dreams! This property has a wild amount of potential and an endless story of labor and we hope to bring a new vision and purpose to this very special place. The Hipcamp site is located down by the creek (on the SOUTH side of Minnesota Creek Rd) where you'll have total privacy and room to relax and explore. It is a beautiful place to get lost amongst the trees and the rhythm of the creek. Our property is only 3.5 miles from the town of Paonia so you're oh-so-close yet so far away from it all. Paonia is central to the abundant North Fork Valley and there is so much to experience in this area. From hiking, biking, camping, or swimming to touring the many vibrant vineyards or galleries. Your visit is very directly contributing to this land's second chance. We hope you'll visit again and follow along in the evolution of Wild Abandon Ranch. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!The "Wild One" site is our first and only Hipcamp spot here at Wild Abandon Ranch. It is perfectly situated right along Minnesota Creek with ample privacy, shade, and beauty. We've cleared out a nice flat section that is perfect for a tent or vehicle. We've provided a wood picnic table and some solar string lights to make your stay under the stars a bit more cozy and comfortable. Once you've reached the site, you can situate your tent(s) or RV however you'd like within the cleared out section. Enjoy the beauty and serenity of Minnesota Creek creek and the epic night sky. Paonia and the North Fork Valley are abundant places with much to offer. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like local advice. By staying on "Wild One", you are directly contributing to us reviving and stewarding a 50 acre guest ranch that has been abandoned for over 20 years. She needs a lot of love right now, and your visit is aiding in her care and growth. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

This place is an amazing hidden gem! It’s secluded and peaceful yet still close to town, has plenty to explore, including little trails, meadows and a creek — our dogs absolutely loved it— and the sky at night is breathtaking. The toilet was a nice amenity to have while camping, and we loved the little fire pit and all the string lights. Maegan was communicative and helpful as well. Such a magical little spot! We really enjoyed staying here and hope to come back soon!

Loved your spot. Beautiful area you’re creating with all the lights and curated spots for your future plans for the area. Perfect access to town while still feeling away from it. We’ll be back! Thank you!

Nice, private spot with some little trails for an interesting view. The creek was a little fast running during my visit but would be great swimming for dogs when it's calm.

Highly Recommend

We absolutely loved this campsite! This was my first time using Hipcamp and it will surely not be the last! Maegen’s land was peaceful, beautiful and so thoughtfully appointed; solar lights in the trees, clothes pins on the line and chairs by the creek! All so perfect and appreciated. The property and close area offered tons of opportunity to explore.
