Learn more about this land:This camp site is directly across the road from Eleven Mile Reservoir. With this site being around 3000 feet from the reservoir you will be able to enjoy all the amazing views and amenities the reservoir has to offer without the crowded camp grounds. You will need a park pass to access the reservoir but not to camp on the land. A 1/4 mile down the road is access to nation forest for going off road or get a parks pass and fish at one of the many amazing fisheries in the area like Eleven mile, Spinney and Eleven mile canyon. The south shore boat ramp is less than 4 miles away. This area does get windy so be careful setting up awnings and pop up tents or anything the wind likes to blow away. The site has a slight pitch but leveling out your camper should be relatively easy. No trees on the land to block your 360 degree mountain views.

1 notable "house" rule:
SMOKING AND OPEN FLAME POLICY
No smoking of any kind anywhere on the property. Smoking at the end of the driveway is also unacceptable.
No open flames of any kind in the space or on the property.
Fire danger is great in our dry climate.
This is mountain living so take care when on the property. Lots of uneven ground around the property. The views are spectacular but with that comes the risk of a windy day once in a while too.
COLORADO WINTER TRAVEL:
There is a possibility of snowy roads anytime from September through March. It's such fickle weather. One day can be sunny and 50 degrees and the next day a 6-inch snowfall. Generally, the roads clear up within a day or two of a snowfall so the impact isn't too troublesome.
If you rent our place in this time frame, good all season tires are advisable. Our driveway is fairly flat and the county road to the house is plowed often.
If there is a snowfall during your stay, we will have the driveway plowed out if we get more than 4 inches of snow and after the snow has stopped falling. If a snowfall lasts more than a single day, we may have it plowed out each day of a snowfall if more than 4 inches accumulate.
Use caution during any snowfall as ground can become unexpectedly slippery.
Message us if you have any issues.

What a wonderful visit to the sweetest Cabin imaginable. Hartsell is a darling little town with lots to do within a short drive… Hot Springs, a drive-in, movie theater, great restaurants and outdoor activities. The house was exactly as pictured with wood for the fireplace, a well stocked kitchen, a cozy bed, plenty of extra blankets and pillows, and absolutely stunning views.

We loved staying on Tim's land. He was attentive and suggested places to go and see and the site was secluded but also has access to a community area. The scenery couldn't be beat.

Tons of wildlife! Saw plenty of pronghorn, deer, eagles, and a massive heard of bighorn sheep. It’s a very open area which means the view is great, but it can get extremely windy in the afternoon.

Stayed here in mid-October at the Boondock Tent Site, which is a large area of heavy gravel that is quite level on top of a little bit of hill. Given the exposure, we were subjected to some hellacious winds for the first day and a half, which isn't unusual in the mountains, but the flip side of that is some great views. The ranch has a large corral area nearby with the cutest cohort of goats, mini-donkeys, a horse, and two Great Pyrenese guard dogs, one of which roamed the property and was super sweet and friendly, but well trained enough to leave you alone if you told it too. We appreciated that the animals were kept in their own space, as we've stayed at other ranches where the animals ran amok through our campsite at all hours of the day and night pooping all over the place. This is much better! While we didn't use the common area a ton, there was a propane fire there and some cornhole games. Guffey Gorge was a nice hike. The town is tiny but charming, and Canon City isn't too much of a drive either. Generally speaking, we enjoyed our stay there and would definitely do so again.

Great experience! We stayed at site 2. It felt very private, and was plenty flat for our RV. We would definitely come back

Absolutely gorgeous place if you need/want to disconnect and truly enjoy some peace and quiet. The huge fire pit with log seats, hanging grill and picnic table was great and we appreciated the thoughtful wood pieces left behind to use for the campfire.
Arthur is super responsive and the views both in the morning and at night were stunning.

The campsite was private and well maintained. Plenty of firewood in the tree line and the fire pit was designed perfectly for the winds. Be prepared for high winds! Great site! And great host!

This is one of the most beautiful camp sites we have been to this year. Tim is great to work with and we appreciate him for sharing this property with us. If you get a chance to book, I would highly suggest you do. Spending time fishing with my young grandaughter was the best part of our trip. and the fishing was excellent. I also loved being able to take my dogs without any worries. Just a beautiful property.

Weekend Trip to Yeti Sanctuary
Very quiet, secluded, and away from people camp. 8800’ elevation, water, and fun hosts who host a communal campfire each night. Very dog friendly, abcs a fun return to our earlier tent camping days.

Absolutely loved this spot! The small cabin is very comfortable & has everything you need in regard to chairs, cookware, etc. My only advice would be to be sure to know your way out because Google maps got me there easily but there’s no cell service so be sure to remember your way back. Beautiful lake & Tim was so helpful!

Tim had a great spot for hip campers. The spots were a bit closer than expected but we had a great time on a beautiful piece of land.

Overview
About
With one of the largest reservoirs in the state, Eleven Mile State Park is wildly popular with anglers and boaters alike, particularly in the summer high season, when motorized boats are permitted to use the reservoir. The park is also great for birdwatching, and it's not uncommon to spot raptors, songbirds, peregrine falcons, white pelicans, and even bald eagles. Land activities include hiking, cycling, and camping, and the park offers nine campgrounds with a total of 325 sites, some with full hook-ups, plus an additional 14 designated backcountry campsites.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for quiet camping: Cross Creek Campground is a great place to get away from the crowds, offering only 14 sites.
- Best for RV camping: Rocky Ridge Campground is the only place in the park with electric sites (in loops A, B, and D).
- Best for boaters: North Shore Campground has solid amenities, including its very own boat ramp.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- You can reserve a site at one of the park's nine campgrounds through Colorado Parks and Wildlife online reservation system or over the phone.
- Reservations can be made up to six months in advance. Same-day reservations are also available online or over the phone.
- Only one tent or “camping unit” is allowed per site, so groups with multiple tents need multiple reservations.
- Many campsites and facilities are closed during the off season of November through March.
When to go
High season at Eleven Mile runs from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend. Temperatures are at their warmest this time of year, but there's also a greater chance of rain and thunderstorms, particularly in July and August. September is a great alternative, when kids have gone back to school and crowds are fewer. Wintertime is ideal for ice fishing, and there are monthly tournaments from January through March.
Know before you go
- You can pick up supplies and groceries in the town of Lake George, about a 20-minute drive from the northern shores of the reservoir.
- While water-contact sports such as scuba diving and jet skiing aren’t allowed, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards can be used as long as the reservoir isn’t frozen over. Motorboats are permitted until the end of October.
- Boat rentals and marina rentals are available through 11 Mile Marina.
- There are two accessible campsites at the park: one at Rocky Ridge and one at North Shore.
- Separate vehicle passes and campsite reservations are required.

The view of the mountains from my camp site was breathtaking. Depending on the part of the day can be a bit windy. The noise from the trucks pulling boats and what not was noisy. The facilities were amazing. Park is well kept.

Best location on the lake, but the ants were so bad at our campsite. Couldn’t stand still for more than a minute without getting an ant bite. Same problem when launching our kayaks. If we stopped walking all the way to the water we got bit.

There's no showers at this spot but it is amazing. Also plenty of picnic tables. Bring a canopy or pavilion as there is a lot of sun & not a lot of shade. Some of the camping spots are right up on the reservoir so very nice!

Truly a beautiful location but maybe better for a stop at lunch or if you have a boat to get out there to see the whole lake and the rocky outcrops. Fishing is bad off the shore, water is shallow and filled with weeds. No paths. There is one above ground toilet and fellow campers like to prop the door open. Why??? Also no one picks up after dogs OR horses. Strong wind in the late afternoon.
