Neverland/Camp Wilder

5 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · Nederland, CO

Welcome to Camp Wilder! We are an off-the-beaten-path camp offering peace and solitude. The cabin is very special to my family and me. It was passed down as a mining claim from my grandmother who founded it in the '60s. The vision for the land was simply perfect. A small 10 x 10 cabin with the whole mountain to explore and whoever they wished to bring with them. The town of Nederland is 10 minutes down the road where you can fish at Baker Reservoir. Lots of fun little stores in town to keep the family busy. Wildlife is everywhere up by the cabin/campsite, always remember don't leave food lying around with lots of great things to look for around the magical town of Nederland. The cabin sleeps up to 8 with the futon downstairs being very comfortable and 3" foam upstairs in the loft for more sleeping area. Bring your sleeping bags to stay cozy at night. There are lanterns inside to light up your night with a wood stove to keep you warm at night. The ground around it is sloped so you may have a hard time setting up any tents around the cabin. The grocery store is in Nederland where you can buy food, Coleman green propane bottles, gallon jugs of water and wood. There is a 3 burner Coleman, stove to cook on with limited pots & pans as well as silverware. Road disclaimer, the road to the cabin is one lane dirt road. The drive up to the cabin is pretty good but the turn onto the single dirt road to the cabin has a slight dip, if you have a low-clearance car it may bottom out when you are turning so be careful. No Trailers. They will not be able to turn around once there. Recommend vehicles with AWD. Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles. Park on the left. Hike down to the cabin between yellow stakes. We are @ 10,000 feet and it is a slight hike to the cabin. Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles When leaving please make sure both door locks are locked, put the key in the lock box and mix the code for the next camper.

The Retreat at Acres of Hope Ranch

2 sites · Lodging40 acres · Longmont, CO

The dome is situated on a serene and secluded area on the back 30 acres. It offers breathtaking views of the majestic mountains and gleaming water. The space is perfect for couples or small families who are looking for a peaceful retreat away from the chaos of the city. Inside, you will find one room with a comfortable queen-size bed and a cozy sitting area where you can relax and unwind. The dome is a perfect getaway for nature lovers or meditation enthusiasts seeking a quiet and calming space, with majestic sunsets to rejuvenate their body and mind. Most importantly, you will be glamping with a cause as 100 percent of the earnings go to our rescue horses (we are a 501c3 nonprofit). Our glamp site digs the rustic lifestyle, with facilities that will make you feel like a true outdoorsy champ! For now, our sustainable off-grid approach means we're keeping it simple with our very own eco-friendly and charming porta potty. We currently do not have running water, or electricity (we do provide battery powered lights and a reserve battery for the coffee maker) but don't worry, we've got big plans to expand and offer you even more glamping goodness in the near future!

One of the Snowbird campsites, along the Timber Lake trail. It was very well maintained. A bull moose walked through my campsite, twice! This is the closest campground to Timber Lake (1/4 mile up the trail) and is very convenient for a dayhike up Mount Ida.
