Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Three sites available on 5 acres of raw land in the rolling meadows creates a 360 view of the Pike and San Isabel National Forest mountain range along. No visible city lights obstruct your view of the Milky Way or starry night skies. For hiking, fishing, kayaking, boating, swimming, and more the property is close to Antero Reservoir, Eleven Mile State Park and Reservoir, Spinney Mountain State Park and Reservoir and the famous "Dream Stream" area. Nearby the Continental divide at Cottonwood pass, Wilkerson pass and others, and 9 different fourteeners to hike are within 40 miles. Basecamp Site 1 and Site 2 offer a fire pit and picnic table, Basecamp Site 3 is raw camping site with no current amenities.

Great place for tent camping under the stars. Easy to find and easily accessible, even in a sedan. Property was very quiet and clean. Would recommend!

Beautiful and peaceful location. It appears there may be people who live out on the property but you never saw them. Loved being able to see the stars and hearing absolutely nothing. Would stay again for the peace

Beautiful view, and not crowded. Saw cattle and antelope. The moon coming over the mountain view was incredible. Also, no bugs, which was nice. I would do it again.

Meteor Shower
I would absolutely recommend this site to a friend and expect to find myself coming back. We went to watch the meteor shower and chose this site for its proximity to town, mountain views, and most importantly for our case, the dark sky. Incredible 360 views of the mountains and prairie, stunning sunrise / sunsets, and visible Milky Way made for an awesome weekend camping. Paul was a fantastic host - very quick and thorough responses to questions through the app and the directions brought us to the site with ease. The site was clean, had a picnic table and fire pit, and even a surprise bundle of wood waiting for us - not sure if this is standard or if the last guest left it, but it was a welcomed surprise regardless. There some scattered cow pies which was expected as it is an open graze prairie, but nothing overwhelming and no smells
