Lots of seclusion
Danny was the sweetest man. He has multiple sites and no one is near you. Sunsets were pretty. Pups were free to roam. You do want to show up before the sun goes down because he needs to direct you to your site. It's not obvious but you pull in and you call him and he shows up with a smile ready to get you where you want to be.

Beautiful location and nice host. However, the farm dogs came to our site , barked and barked at us and then proceeded to mark their territory on our sand mat outside our van and the side of our bug tent. The same dogs and the neighbors dogs barked almost continuously all night ruining the peaceful environment of the camp site. Wouldn’t recommend unless you like barking dogs.

Great location central 2 MTB trails
We stayed at Danny's farm for four nights to do some mountain biking on Fruita's famous trails. The property is about equal distance to 18-mile and Kokopelli, the two areas we were most interested in. We also did a road ride from the farm, thru town and up and around the Colorado National Monument. Danny is a friendly "gentleman farmer" and we chatted a couple times during our stay. Also met his four dogs who will come down to the two closer of the four spaces he has designated. These are closer to his house but still private. We also spent one of the nights further out into the fields. This one is higher elevation with a better view of the mountains on the horizon, but more exposed. Either way, it's a great place to stay as long as you're OK with farm/ranch terrain and not the most beautiful scenery in the world (which we weren't).

Danny was awesome to work with. We made a last minute decision to push home from Arizona to Colorado. Danny allowed us to come in after hours and gave us direction on where to set up without disturbing anything. We got in around midnight and were back on the road by 7am. It's always awesome to have a destination for a quick sleep, and Danny made that possible for us! Also, his farm is sweet! We will definitely stay next time we are on the western slope!

Nice primitive camp by 18rd biking!
Had a great time staying on Danny's land for 2 nights over Memorial Day Weekend -- there's BLM land nearby, but we booked here to ensure we got a nice spot and had privacy.
The spot we had was nice and level for our tent with a picnic table and fire pit. There's plenty of privacy (other guests were staying while we were there, but we never saw them - the spots are super spread out). Very quiet, easy drive to town for food/water/bathroom access. No amenities, so pack in/pack out.
