We border a national forest where you can hike and just enjoy the outdoors. The Ceran Saint Vrain trailhead is less than one mile away and Brainard Lake is a short 20 minute drive. If you feel as you need to go to town, Boulder, Estes Park, and Nederland are all a 30 min drive. Away, yet close enough!Please read entirely: Enjoy spectacular views of the Indian Peaks and surrounding mountains all in complete privacy while enjoying the glamping experience of being in an insulated space. The wood burning stove provides heat and you can enjoy modern day amenities such as WiFi and electricity generated by solar all while being completely off-grid! There’s no running water, so please bring as much water as you will need for your stay. The outhouse has a toilet only. There’s an outside cold water shower, that can be used during non-freezing temperatures. (June through October) If you need more water, we do have a water spigot with well water available about 1/4 mile away from the Blue Bear. Our 5 year old son cuts firewood, so that he can buy a toy of his choice. The firewood is $5 the bundle. One bundle usually lasts for one night. Note: In order to preserve water and lessen our carbon footprint, we encourage you to bring your own bed sheets or sleeping bag. If you would like for us to include sheets, pillow cases and comforter, a $20 additional fee will be applied. Pets are welcome for an extra $50. Please make sure your pet is accounted for on the reservation. Thanks. We can also accommodate your horse overnight, if you like to explore the trails on horseback. Please let us know ahead of time, so we can provide you the link to stay with your horse. Check-in instructions: Once you are on Hickok trail, you will get to a black gate. Please use the code: four times the number four, then press enter (the button with four arrows on it) to open the gate. Then follow the signs to the Blue Bear. The key is located in the black box next to the entrance door. On your way out, the gate will open once you approach it with your car. WiFi: Starlink Password: Bluebearguest1 For those sensitive to scents, we have added an essential oil diffuser to help keep flies away during the summer months. The scents used are peppermint, citronella, lemongrass, geranium and cedar wood. Feel free to put the diffuser outside if the scent is too strong.

Fantastic stay at BlueBear!
This is the most magical HipCamp we have ever stayed at! Very clear instructions and had no issue finding location. They had started the fire inside for us before we got there and it kept us plenty warm throughout the night. Thank you for creating such a wonderful spot!

This exceeded expectations by a mile! The view is beautiful and the lodging is extremely well kept. There are plenty of things onsite that beginner camper/glampers like myself forgot or didn’t even think to bring. It was a great experience and I’ve already recommended it to friends. I hope to come back again!
