4R Freedom Ranch Campground is located near varied terrain with open spaces and surrounding hills. The area experiences temperatures ranging from 20°F in winter to 85°F in summer. Nearby attractions include the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Curecanti National Recreation Area, offering opportunities for hiking and exploring.

Our 45 acre, COMPLETELY SMOKE/PET FREE, Ranch sits on the Uncompahgre Plateau at 7,500 ft. above sea level in the Rocky Mountains, 30 minutes’ drive from Montrose, Colorado. We offer panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains, 2 million acres of magnificent national + state forest + BLM land within walking distance so activities like trial bike / horse back riding, fishing, hunting, white water rafting etc. are available! USA's best ski resort, "Telluride" is within 90 mins drive. Locals call this area "Paradise! "

Our COMPLETELY SMOKE FREE secluded and remote campsite offers 1 new 12ft X 20ft wooden level platform on which you pitch your own tent for $45 per night. It includes 1 table, 2 or more complimentary chairs, fire ring and free firewood for up to 2 nights. We suggest you bring liquid firelighter and paper to start your fire. Thereafter, firewood is $1 per log for which you pay me cash on arrival because Airbnb does not provide this option. You’ll probably need around 9 logs per night.

You may have up to 3 tents on 1 platform. We have a limit of 6 people

( including babies and children ) on 1 platform due to weight restrictions. However, after the 2nd person in any tent or platform on our Ranch, we charge $10 per 4yrs old and over person, per night. This covers the extra peoples’ use of our amenities such as shower and toilet etc.

All accommodation includes your shared use of a 20ft bathroom facility, located approximately 300ft from your platform, which has 1 toilet, 2 showers and 3 hand sinks with running hot and cold water. A separately located compost toilet is also provided within approximately 60ft from your platform. Please refer to pictures.

No power, WIFI or bedding is supplied. You can access the internet on our Ranch via your personal hotspot. Verizon provides the best phone connection. Other providers are unreliable.

Horse petting any of our 11 horses is available by appointment.

National / State forest and BLM land surround our ranch… I trailered 10 mins to a trail head yesterday and enjoyed a 3 hour horseback ride with spectacular views.

Wildlife you may see or hear includes deer, elk, coyote, chipmunks and eagles. Although it is unlikely you will encounter a bear or cougar, we recommend you bring bear spray.

After your reservation is confirmed, I will provide you our address and convenient information.

Since my husband Monty is a professional horseman and hunting guide, please don’t hesitate to ask to speak with him if you have questions.

Thank you,

Susan Moss.

Susan was a great host answering all my questions and making sure our site was ready on arrival. They provided canvas tents that were spacious and comfortable. While you are cooking food over the fire be sure to look up at the stars before the moon comes over the mountains as it is a real treat to see. It was really nice to have a trailer with running water for toilets and a shower after a long trip as well. I would definitely stay at this place again in the future!

Little Gem Off the Beaten Path

Susan’s place is quiet and beautiful. There are canvas tents with cots and wood stoves for the colder months. The stars are beyond compare and if you’re a birder like me, you will have a magical time. Susan is an excellent communicator! I do recommend you have AWD or 4WD if coming in a month that isn’t summer. The gravel roads to get there are steep and have some big ruts. Nothing unmanageable but probably pretty hard if you’re not equipped in the possibility of bad weather. There is a solar/ generator powered shower house with a flush toilet that you can walk a little ways to, otherwise the toilets are compost. It is a beautiful property, very peaceful and amazing scenery!
