Perfect for tents!
Beautiful site! Joe has all your bases covered with a great hangout spot, 2 burner stove, fresh water, hot shower and compostable toilet. My little 10' camper tucked into the parking space well - but better suited for tent campers. The sites are perfect, right by the creek. Will definitely return. Thanks Joe!!

Quiet, cozy, and beautiful campsite
This was such a dreamy campsite. My husband and I are driving from Utah to Texas with our two dogs and decided to stop in Hesperus since it was just as the aspens were changing from green to gold, which made for an incredible drive.
The area was breathtaking and the campsite itself was so cozy. We are used to true primitive camping, so having a small sink, outhouse, table, chairs, stove, water, wood, and a few extra supplies was amazing. Our dog had the absolute best time running around on the property, and we took advantage of the wifi to check work notifications (had to walk just a bit up the hill to get solid connection which wasn't an issue). If you have a tent that's 4p or bigger, you won't be able to set up on the wooden platform, but there is plenty of other spots to choose from.
Everything was private, and it felt so magical sitting in that space. I hope we get the chance to swing through again in the future.

This is a beautiful site up La Plata Canyon along a creek, especially in the fall as the aspen turn colors. Joe has done a lot of work developing a nice camp kitchen area, tent pads, lighted paths and a DIY shower! I think this would be a great site for multiple parties, a large group or a family. There are a couple of large standing snags but these are avoidable with careful tent placement.

A Special Spot
This spot is definitely the best hip camp I've ever experienced! Joe is very kind and thoughtful and has a very lovely and spacious plot of land. You have everything you need with generous water (drinking and otherwise), a great kitchen setup with stove and propane and shelter incase it rains. A lovely fire pit with ample wood, and a really legit outhouse and shower! The star of the show is really the beauty of the forest and surrounding creek and the amount of privacy and ability for exploration you get. It was amazing to call that spot home for a couple days, will definitely look forward to another trip here in the future. Thanks Joe!
