Rooted Recovery: Elevated Alpine Camping
Rooted Recovery is a premium secluded camping experience set at 10,000 feet in Colorado's Subalpine Forest — designed for serious outdoor enthusiasts who want comfort without compromise. This property is high altitude, low oxygen.
Your secluded site includes a dedicated fire pit with quality firewood, nestled among Engelmann spruce, Aspen, Lodgepole pine, and Subalpine Fir with views of Sheep Mountain and Mount Sherman. Step into genuine solitude, where dark skies reveal a canopy of stars and the Milky Way. Wildlife including moose, fox, and porcupines move freely through the forest around you. For the night sky enthusiast, this is a Dark Sky C3 rated site.
Wake before dawn to tackle nearby 14ers (Mount Quandary – 18 miles; Mount Sherman – 19 miles), or train at elevation for your next race. We are 2 miles to Pike National Forest. Return from skiing at Breckenridge (25 miles) to your crackling fire and the forest’s deep quiet. Enjoy fly fishing or hiking in the surrounding National Forest.
The property is 4 miles from Hwy 9 on County Road 14. It is paved for the first 2 miles, followed by 2 miles of dirt road beyond the National Forest boundary. Guymard Road may have delayed plowing after a snow and Winter access requires coordination. Expect snowfall from November through May, with major snowfalls averaging 18 inches.
* Highway 14 is a Class 3 Park County Maintained Road
* Guymard Road is a Class 2 Park County Maintained Road
We have provided trail cams at this site for your safety and security. Firewood is available on-site for $2/log or $10 per bundle equivalent. AT&T cellular provides 110Mbps data download and 60Mbps data upload. You’re close enough to Fairplay (6.5 miles) and Alma (8 miles) for supplies, yet surrounded by silence. It is the ultimate reset.
This experience is for those who push themselves hard, care for their bodies and minds, and leave places better than they found them. The promise is simple: an exceptional location, thoughtful amenities, and direct access to pristine wilderness that demands your respect and rewards your effort.

I had such a great experience booking with Carrie at Rooted Recovery. I originally had an issue with a cancellation and she immediately stepped in to help me resolve it. She fully refunded my first booking and made it super easy for me to rebook the night at her Sheep Mountain Site.
Carrie was responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure everything worked out smoothly. The process could’ve been stressful, but she made it simple and seamless. I’m very appreciative of her communication and support.
Highly recommend — the customer service alone is top-tier, and it made me even more excited for my stay on her land.

Such a quiet peaceful spot. Lovely grassy areas, trees and landscaping. Or fur babies absolutely loved the grassy dog run with the stream.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Vintage Campers
We had a great stay and would definitely recommend! Lovely location that felt more nestled in nature but easy drive to Gunnison. The camper setup was cute and nice enough for the price, the outhouse was clean and they provided all the essentials.
Bring bug spray as it’s right on a river so the mosquitos did get pretty intense in the evening.
