Great time in Durango!
Was a great spot not too far from town but still very peaceful! The last part of the road wasn't too bad very manageable but if it rains you would definitely need a 4x4. Will be back!

Peaceful sagebrush and cedars
The campsite is huge, peaceful, with great views and beautiful surroundings. I had such a wonderful evening star gazing and listening to the coyotes in the distance. It also felt very safe given how it is tucked down a long dirt road. However the bushes do need to be trimmed on both sides so you don’t end up with “country pinstripes” and the road is fairly rough. But it’s a beautiful setting and well worth the rough drive in!

We had a great experience camping on Ben’s land! The site was well marked and easy to find. The views are gorgeous and it’s a short drive outside of town.

Ben’s land is absolutely stunning and is 100% worth the stay. We managed to make the 1/4 mile trek to the site in a 2WD Ford Fusion, but I would recommend a vehicle with more clearance. It was private, clean, and safe. Make sure to pack in whatever you need as you’ll probably want to stay put once you get there. A++ Host and site!

Beautiful remote spot! A bit challenging to drive out from after a big overnight storm. We almost got stuck in the mud coming out in our AWD. I let the host know and he said he’ll take care of it so it shouldn’t be a future issue. Super responsive communication. Not his fault with the surprise monsoon!

A beautiful spot to camp. Lovely views very quiet, although on occasion there was a hum from the electric station. About 13-15 min from downtown Durango. Easy drive. Great location!
