Learn more about this land: CAMP ON 35 ACRES OF PRIVATE MOUNTAIN BIKE HEAVEN! Gecko Gulch is a single, private campsite near the popular North Fruita Desert 18 Road mountain bike area and the famous Kokopelli Trail. And if that’s not enough, after a day of shredding single track, you can return to your campsite and have 35 acres of desert hills all to yourself to continue the ride! When you’ve had enough of the bike, you can relax in your 8’x12’ cabin with two comfy chairs and room to hang a hammock or stretch out two of your sleeping bags if you don’t want to pitch a tent. A covered porch is the perfect place to watch the sunset and enjoy a well-earned beer. There’s a picnic table with a shade sail. The open-air shower stall lets you hang a solar bag to rinse off the dust while you admire an unending desert view. Then start a campfire and roast some marshmallows while you wait for the stars to come out. Gecko Gulch’s 35 acres are surrounded by public BLM land on two sides so the desert really is your playground. This is a dry campsite with no electricity or water, but there is a portable toilet and trash can. There’s enough flat area to set up a couple of tents. A small amount of firewood is provided.  Gecko Gulch is not suitable for mega-large RVs. The cabin has no heat/air conditioning, but two screened windows open to catch a breeze and mosquito netting is on the door. If you’re tired of camping in a crowded, noisy campground with neighbors on all sides, if you want privacy and incredible views, then Gecko Gulch is waiting!CAMP ON 35 ACRES OF PRIVATE MOUNTAIN BIKE HEAVEN!

Great views with excellent trail access outside Fruita. The shelter was a great feature and the site had some nice amenities.

If you’re looking for big sky and privacy, this is the place for you. Loved having a little shelter when it got windy and rainy. Communication was easy and everything super clean.

Memorial Day weekend
Open space all around, small place inside so get cozy. Effortless replacement of porta potty swap and rubbish. Access to North Desert via 18 road - refer to map as we went off track a few times, but 18 road … is better as it is relatively smooth. There is an exciting 4wd drive through a small 5 ft seasonal wash runout to North Desert if you like short cuts.
