About
This 13.2-acre property is a restored wetlands sanctuary nestled at 9,000 feet in a remote valley, offering guests a truly peaceful and secluded camping experience away from busy roads and civilization. The location represents decades of dedicated restoration work, transforming the landscape into a thriving habitat where visitors can explore well-maintained trails, enjoy views of historic beaver ponds, and discover the natural beauty of Colorado's high altitude environment. Guests consistently praise the profound sense of tranquility found here, with many describing it as the perfect escape for relaxation and rejuvenation. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with daily possibilities to observe moose, elk, deer, bear, coyote, and other native species, along with abundant bird populations and seasonal migrations. Guests have reported memorable encounters with grazing moose, diverse bird species, and the visible presence of animal trails throughout the property—evidence of how safe and thriving this refuge has become for its wild inhabitants. The landscape bursts with natural color, featuring wildflowers, wild iris, and visits from hummingbirds that delight visitors throughout their stay. The property offers thoughtfully designed camping spots with scenic views, including designated areas near campfire rings overlooking the wetlands and a bird-watcher's perch for observation enthusiasts. Level campsites are equipped with practical amenities such as a prepared grill and propane, and guests have access to trails leading to additional beaver ponds and connections to Roosevelt National Forest. The starlit nights and morning mists create an immersive natural experience that captures the essence of Colorado's wilderness.
