Love this spot!

Beautiful spot. Gorgeous views! Very well instructed on how to get in. Definitely need a 4x4 with how steep the road gets but the amenities and bathroom were a great touch! Thanks for having us!

Beautiful views that pictures can’t fully do it justice. We arrived just before sunset and before the wind picked up. It was a little too cloudy and bright to see stars but the moon was amazing and bright orange over the horizon. Very serene and worth taking the short trail to the meadow! Our dog loved being able to run around and have so many sticks to choose from. A great start to our anniversary weekend!

The Vista

The Vista is remote, quiet, and peaceful... exactly the kind of experience I am looking for when I go camping. The site is spacious with great visibility, which allowed me to give my dog decent range to wander while still being within eyesight. I particularly appreciated the solitude afforded by Azure's land, it was quite refreshing. And of course, the views truly are amazing. I will definitely be coming back next time I need to do some decompressing, highly recommended!

Gorgeous views on the butte!

A little piece of heaven on a butte-side. The host was very communicative and I could see a longer stay here with the lovely amenities provided. It’s almost on top of a butte so the views are FABULOUS. Cute outdoor shower and clean little bathroom space. A cute little hike to a bench looking over a meadow is great for coffee walks. Genuinely take note that it is WINDY. And I mean your tent is going to take an absolute beating. We felt like we were camped on the side of Everest. Bring warm clothes!
