16 acres hosted by Rebecca M.
3 RV/tent sites
OUT OF OPERATION FOR THE SEASON AS OF JULY 2024
Nestled in a pine forest in Colorado’s first named dark sky community, this 16 acre property is the perfect mountain get-away for a weekend or extended stay. Come for the mountains and stay for the stars. Camp or park an RV and enjoy the fresh air at 8500 ft elevation in this breathtaking valley.
Rainbows and lush green grass in the spring, stunning sunsets in the summer and fall, and of course winters so quiet and tranquil you can finally feel the peace you have been missing. Our lot is located 20 minutes from the town of Westcliffe, where there is access to a laundromat, shower, groceries, and other amenities. Bike or hike in the surrounding BLM land, surf the Great Sand Dunes, or take a trip to Bishops Castle and San Isabel Lake, located only 45 minutes from the site. Also located nearby is Canon City, which boats the Royal Gorge, plenty of antique shops, and other fun attractions.
This property is home to a small hobby farm. Farm fresh eggs are available to you in the morning. Be greeted by the sounds of woodland birds and of course our silly little goat bleats. All of the animals on site are friendly, though we do ask you to not bring animals as they may interfere with our working dogs or livestock. Bears, bobcats, mountain lions, and coyotes have all been spotted in the surrounding areas as this location is very remote. However, due to our livestock guardian dogs, your chances of seeing these predators is low. Please reach out with any questions! We hope you can unplug and visit soon :)
BEFORE YOU VISIT:
If you would like to what the road looks like before you visit, please visit our ig @fungusamongusco and look at the highlight titled "Road to Home". In the past we have informed hip campers that they needed a more "rugged" vehicle to access the site, but we've had everything from RV's to vans to Nissans visit our home. So long as you take it slow, you will be fine :)
ABOUT US:
We have called the Wet Mountain Valley home for the past 3 years. During the summer and fall, we operate a small-scale organic mushroom farm, selling fresh produce, tinctures, and body care products to our local community. Self-sufficiency, supporting local business, and honoring and connecting to nature are very important to us and we're so glad others find the same solace as we have in one of Colorado's last small towns!

However, due to our livestock guardian dogs, your chances of seeing these predators is low. The only other rule we have is no fires. The areas are covered in pine needles and the winds in this area reach high speeds, in addition to the fact we are located in a high mountain desert terrain, making it very dangerous for fires. This property is our home and our animals’ homes so please be respectful of that. Please reach out with any questions! We hope you can unplug and visit soon :) Park anywhere along the site as long as it does not obstruct the road or other vehicles. The pine forest is located on the back side of the property and the property boundary lines are clearly marked. Campers must park along the road or near the main house and haul camp equipment across the arroyo to desired campsite. There are 3 campsites on the back side of the property to choose from. You will see them marked by stones and stumps with a border delineating where to set up tent. Choose your site and you will have complete privacy. Should you need anything please reach out to us at the main house. Fresh eggs are also available for purchase. Enjoy your stay!
