Located at the beginning of the continental divide trail. Open to off-roading in the summer and hiking year-round. Very close to St Mary's glacier. Street is plowed in the winter for year-round accessibility. Shed has a composting toilet and a urinal. Only 58 minutes away from downtown Denver and 15 minutes from Idaho Springs.After a brief hour drive from Denver, find yourself at one of the most desirable spots in St Mary's at the corner of the continental divide trail. Ample street parking right in front of the property and most vehicles can go over the gravel driveway to park on the property "I did it in an AWD Ford Fusion so any AWD crossover should easily do it, smaller RVs as well". After you set up your tent, you can explore the trail that's practically your backyard or go to the glacier hike nearby. Idaho Springs is a short 15 minute drive with plenty of things to do. Shed has a composting toilet and urinal. Please do not dispose of anything toxic in the urinal as it dumps into the soil.

The Continental Divide Corner
Secluded hillside
We had a nice night camping. The directions to get to the land are clear and there is an outhouse to use with a code. The land is sloped so I recommend bringing a shovel if you don't usually travel with one. Hike up the hill from the outhouse and we dug out a flat area with our shovel for our tent that can be used for future campers if you would like! My daughter got the beginning stages of a trail started and also up there you are secluded. At night you can see the city lights straight ahead in the distance and while also looking up to see the stars above your head. The birds and squirrels got us up and going in the morning so we could get an early start up to St Mary's Glacier to beat the rush for that morning calm. We would stay again the next time we need an overnight in Idaho Springs, thank you.

Camping with a tent during trip
Really great location, the only little thing to take into consideration is the incline of the ground. Had a pretty good night! Would recommend if you plan on staying 1-2 nights

Too sloped to camp
The site is much more sloped than the photos show, so we couldn’t set up camp, and the bathroom door was blocked by ice, but the host was very amenable and refunded us! Wouldn’t stay again but the host was very responsive and apologetic!

The campsite is at an angle. There is also a fair amount of traffic to Loch Lomond.

Nice spot to camp if you need somewhere cheap to sleep! Ground was a little uneven but for the price it was worth it! It was also nice to have a private place to go to the bathroom. Don’t forget to bring your own toilet paper!

Not worth the price
The site was very sloping, right next to road with lots of hiking traffic, and didn't feel like it was worth the price, but it was a safe place to camp for the night at least.
