Mudita Camel's Yurt

1 site · Lodging35 acres · Capulin, CO
Eons ago camels roamed through the San Luis Valley and today they roam once again.  Come and stay at our yurt enjoying views of the mountains and of the camels and donkeys roaming their home.   Take a farm tour and get the chance to pet the camels and maybe even sneak a camel kiss.  Enjoy a night stay at the yurt viewing the stars or enjoying a nice fire at the fire pit.   Come stay in our yurt and get the chance to meet our little herd of camels and wake up to the views of the gorgeous surroundings!  Travel down a few miles of dirt roads and you will find our little oasis of 35 acres.  The hard-sided yurt sits right next to the field where our camels and donkeys roam.  Set apart from the main house, sitting in Trujillo Canyon, and surrounded by BLM/National Forrest, its the perfect spot for recharging. Located off the beaten path so amazing for star gazing but also close enough to the Sand Dunes for day adventures.  Our property is off the grid and allows you to disconnect for a little while and there is a nice creek to go and sit by.  Each stay also includes a farm tour if you are interested.  The night skies have little light pollution and are perfect for star gazing.  We can't wait for you to come and stay with us!Don't take our word for it, guests love their stays with us! "We struck gold finding this magical place. The yurt was so cozy, comfy, and full of tons of extras that exceeded our expectations. We booked our little trip to visit the dunes, but this farm was by far the best part of our trip. We loved our walks to see all the animals. The camels and donkeys were so friendly!"

Camping near Pagosa Springs with campfires guide

Overview

Surrounded by 2.5 million acres of wilderness, Pagosa Springs is a mecca for camping in southwest Colorado. Explore the San Juan Mountains and ponderosa pine forests—all yours for the taking. After a day of adventure, relax in hot springs from the world's deepest geothermal aquifer. Campgrounds here are your gateway to horseback riding, rock climbing, and ATV offroading on 126 miles of trails. When the snow falls, get psyched about ice climbing, sledding, and skiing. Talk about a Colorado rush! Driving a big rig? Get nestled in at one of the RV parks with full hookups along U.S. Highway 160. Many hug the banks of the San Juan and Blanco Rivers. From there, kayaking, tubing, and fishing are right out your door. For secluded wilderness camping, venture into San Juan National Forest. Nine campgrounds are within easy reach of Pagosa Springs—take your pick. One popular spot is the East Fork Campground, boasting campsites at 7,700 feet on the San Juan River. When tent camping, remember to bring warm sleeping bags and layers. Even in the summer, temps can dip pretty low at night.
