Rustic Off-Grid Camping Overlooking Horsetooth Welcome to your next great adventure! Nestled high above Horsetooth, this off-grid camping spot is your ticket to serenity, sweeping views, and a dash of wilderness charm. With Lory State Park and Horsetooth Falls practically in your backyard, it's the ideal hideaway for nature lovers looking to unplug and unwind. Highlights: Jaw-Dropping Views: Soak in panoramic vistas of Horsetooth Reservoir by day, marvel at the city lights by night, and stargaze to your heart's content. It’s like nature’s own IMAX. Handy Perks: Enjoy the rustic luxuries of a small deck with hammock hooks, a picnic table for your gourmet camp meals, and a dome frame ready for your shade-creating tarps. There's also a small “outhouse” with a door for a bit of privacy for your portable potty. Remember, waste must leave with you—no dumping here! You can safely dispose of waste, near the fire station or campgrounds. Fire Friendly (Sometimes): Fires are great, but let’s keep them safe! No fires on windy days or when there's a fire ban in Larimer County. Always extinguish it completely before leaving it unattended. Bring your own wood and let’s keep those marshmallows toasty without setting the world on fire. Adventure Awaits: Just minutes away, you’ll find Lory State Park and Horsetooth Falls, offering trails, lakes, and natural wonders galore. Whether you’re hiking, biking, or just taking in the scenery, adventure is calling! Wildlife Encounters: This isn’t a zoo, folks—it's the wild! Bears, deer, and other critters roam the area, so secure your food and keep an eye out. It’s their home too. Important Details: Access with a Twist: Getting here is half the fun! The steep road with its sharp corners isn’t big-RV friendly. Tent camping is the way to go unless you enjoy adrenaline-filled parking maneuvers. Pack In, Pack Out: It’s all about keeping nature pristine. Bring everything in, take everything out, and leave no trace. Safety Advisory: Watch Your Step: With steep drop-offs nearby, sensible footwear and a healthy respect for gravity are essential. Weather and Wildlife: Prepare for everything Mother Nature might throw at you—wind, rain, bushes, curious bears. Don’t forget the water, sunscreen, proper footwear, and layered clothing.Beautiful Views of the city lights and stars at night. Features a deck with pillars to hang your hammock, a picnic table, on-site large wood smoker grill, and a firepit (must bring your own wood/charcoal). A large dome is on site, you can set up your tent inside of. Bring a tarp and bungies or ropes, to cover the dome for added shade. There's a portable potty on-site inside a privacy enclosure, in case you forget yours. If you do use our potty, we ask that you please empty it only at a designated rv dump site nearby at Horsetooth, (and wash it out/wipe it off) before checkout. Only use the water source at dump site to wash the potty. (To avoid environmental contamination). No potty dumping on site is allowed, but there is a dump station near Shoreline Drive - next to the Fire Station for a $15 fee. There is no water source on site, but you could always get more nearby at the Horsetooth Reservoir campground or one of the nearby park rest areas. Please bring enough water for your personal use! Car or tent camping only as the location has steep roads, switchbacks, and sharp turns that you might not be able to maneuver a large RV or pull behind camper. Cell phones work here, AT&T, Verizon, and TMobile network coverage (Verizon / AT&T are the best).
