Enjoy an expansive private area (flat gravel) adjacent to a large garden and numerous fruit trees. This is an urban environment but is also quiet and residential. Walking distance to restaurants and other conveniences, grocery stores nearby, 10 minutes to downtown and all Denver has to offer, 30 minutes to the Rockies. The site is part of the community and arts venue Counterpath, a converted 1950 gas station and surrounding open space. Occasional events and performances are hosted here (typically free and open to the public) and there is a free bookstore, Friday food bank 5-6pm, and community garden (please Google "Counterpath Denver" for full info). Great launch pad for exploring Denver and Colorado's Front Range!Enjoy an expansive private area adjacent to a large garden and numerous fruit trees.

Urban Living Does Have Some Risks

33 ft Class A · With kids

While I had no issues with the RV site itself. I think it is important to add context to all the positive reviews which I have no doubt our genuine but are reviews from the prospective of adults who understand and accept the risk inherent in staying a block from one the most dangerous street in Denver, Colfax Ave. Just Google "Murders Colfax Denver" and it is a monthly occurrence. If you have children below 16, it would absolutely be irresponsible to camp or bring your RV here. In all honesty even as an adult leaving the padlocked gate after dark is at your own risk. My 4 year old son and I left after 3 straights nights of gun fire and sirens flying by on 14th Ave. constantly. While the site does offer some security measures, which are appreciated, none of them will stop a stray bullet. As far as any interaction with the host I was handed the keys to the padlock gate by Don and that was it. No further instructions. Not a single follow up except to tell me it is my responsibility to make sure I don't let the garden house hooked to my RV freeze and to haul into my RV to keep it warm. At the end of the day it is all perspective and context and how you will feel about this site. Nonetheless I think it would responsible of the host to inform out of town guests the risk inherent with camping in an area that for years as been one of the highest crime areas in Denver.

Incredible location and host! Tim was so generous and helpful. We loved getting to stay in our own private, gated spot in the middle of Denver, with electric and water!

Must do

16 ft car

For being within in the city of Denver, this hipcamp property is probably underpriced by a bit. It's quiet at night and being fenced in is a plus, as well as the tree growth around provides added security, privacy and atmosphere. Tim's a great host too. The property itself, Tim runs a food bank out of so in my logical mind the safest place to be is on this property because only the most heartless and insane of criminals would ever consider doing something to a food bank lol... but it is what it is. Tim saved me at 3 or 4 hundred bucks in hotel fees.
