The porch has a great little table and chairs for dining al fresco, reading, or just admiring the sweeping views.

Snowflake the miniature donkey loves giving hugs and kisses. 

The yurt is outfitted with the comfiest queen bed imaginable with lots of blankets to keep you toasty.

The yurt from the entrance to the property. It stands a good distance from the main house, lending lots of privacy.

Watching camels play is so much fun- you can't wipe the smile from your face. 

The yurt, the outhouse, and lots of peace and quiet.

To read or to watch the sunset? That is the question.

The dirt driveway up the yurt from the road has a few holes but you don't need FWD at all- any car can make it just fine.

Learn more about this land:

Your own camping plot minutes from the Sand Dunes National Park Gates, at the base of Mt. Blanca (a 14’er)! Wake up to unobstructed million dollar views.  Lovely area with lots of wildlife. Pulls campers from all walks of life and everyone seems to have a huge smile on their face. A little town with sundries is close enough for goods but far enough to forget you’re near civilization. The nights sky has an unobstructed view of the sky (no light pollution). Easy to get to and close to the sand dunes. If you have a large group we recommend booking both sites.

The property is just minutes away from Great Sand Dunes National Park

The property is nestled beneath Mt Blanca and the national forest border is just steps away.

Host is flexible and lets you up your tent wherever you'd like!

Super peaceful and quiet place for reading.

Good hiking shoes recommended, be sure to check out Zapata falls when it's run of season!

Rabbit Hole Ranch

We are closed for the season. 

PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY 

The Rabbit Hole Ranch offers beautiful night skies with little to no light pollution and unobstructed views of the majestic Blanca Massif. The Great Sand Dunes and Zapata Falls is just a (gorgeous) 35 minute drive. 

Camping here at the Rabbit Hole Ranch is primitive and dispersed (no numbered sites) and there 30 acres available for you to use. Just follow the signs to the designated area and pick out a spot you like. 

Some spots have fire rings, some don’t. We are working on getting more, but in the meantime you’re welcome to bring your own. Or feel free to dig out a little hole. It works great and is easy to extinguish when you fill it back in and bury it. Please do not bury any trash. 

Typically, you will experience a rare kind of solitude and silence that feels….  other-worldly, with incredible sunrises and sunsets filling the enormous skies. 

On holidays, however, expect it to be busy. 

Our dogs are working dogs and they are more than  happy to help keep you and your pets safe. Please help make their jobs easier by not leaving any food or trash in or around tents. 

Please keep your pets on leash or under control until you’re comfortably certain they get along with our dogs. And please report any issues promptly. 

This year we have a new Great Pyrenees to greet you, her name is Boudicca and she’s excited to meet everyone! Returning this season is 12 year old KayLee, also a GP and and Finn, our little dude from Alaska. 

Quiet time begins at 10:00 pm. 

Note: Holidays still offer the excellent location and spectacular views, but are likely to be less quiet and far more busy. We typically do not strictly enforce quiet time during holidays.

Campe Diem!

Do you want a large, private, uniquely situated, pet friendly CampSpot™ to yourselves or family with a BATHHOUSE where it can be so quiet and some days there are stars for as deep as you can see? We have about 300 of those days and nights. Usually can stay longer on Sundays!

We are 72 acres of piñon trees, some small animal life and crickets tucked against a mesa just a few minutes from town. Bring your shoe prints! 

We have sandboards! $15 per day! 

We are approximately a 35 minute beautiful drive from the National Sand Dunes around Mt. Blanca. (14'r).

 5 minutes from the Mountain Home State Wildlife Park and reservoir where you can fish swim chill cookout etc. You can bike, hike, Swim, jet ski or fish at the newly stocked reservoir.
