What a wonderful surprise to our trip in Late July 2020. We had another location planned out in Souther Colorado and it was just too hot, so we headed north and at the last minute secured this camping site. Christopher answered several questions the moments before I booked it, was prompt and informative. Now comes the surprises... only because we booked at 5pm and headed to the site straightaway. I’m usually a planner and there was no time to research the area, so we just went. The reviews said we needed a high clearance 4x4 vehicle to get there and we had that, and are glad we did. It is located on a Well known forest service road near Montezuma on the OHV trails known as Saints’ John and deer path up and over Glacier Mountain. THe camp is on the Saints’ John side just up at the tree line. Not a lot of wind break or shade in the actual camp site, but the forest and mining relics are right there to explore. We arrived after the sun had set behind the mountains to the west, and it began to rain hard. We waited it out and surprisingly the ground at that elevation dried out almost instantly. We had a large family tent with a footprint of 10x 13 and it was a little hard to find a flat spot without boulders but we managed. The real treat was discovering the OHV trails that went beyond the campsite upon leaving after 2 nights there. We saw mountain goats and stood on glaciers, traveled over amazing mountain peaks and ridges, and meet many awesome people all on their own journey in the mountains. My two young sons and I had an amazing adventure there, We will be back again soon.
Things to consider: You are quite a ways from a town with a store or gas station. Fuel and stock up before you get to Keystone on the way to Montezuma. Plan to contain food and trash in your sealed vehicle, there are bears and other wildlife up there to share this site with. There is no cell service at the camp, but a steep drive to the top of Glacier Mountain (20 min?) will find a weak signal. That being said, be sure to download driving instructions and maps ahead of time. Also look up OHV and trail maps of the area so you know what else there is to do while there.
Book this spot. You will not regret it!
