GLAMPING TENTS

Camping for two, please! While the term “Glamping” comes from blending glamorous with camping, we want to be clear - these aren’t fancy. They are, however, equipped with modern amenities to make your camping experience simple and stress free after a long day of mountain living. Disclaimer, we can’t control the weather (wind, snow, rain, etc) , but we know a good rain dance or two.

Our Casitas and Rustic Cabin accommodate 2 happy campers while the Deluxe Casita willingly boasts room for 4. With varying levels of comfort and amenities, these tiny homes have something for everyone. Gather round the fire or grab a cup of joe before heading out for the day, we have you covered. Explore our options for having your very own base camp in the mountains.

Great Location and Atmosphere

We had an amazing stay at Basecamp 550. The campground’s location is perfect, with easy access to Ouray, Montrose, Telluride, and other nearby areas. The amenities were excellent, including quarter-operated hot showers and laundry, restrooms, Wi-Fi, full hookups, and a clubhouse with coffee + tea, kitchen access, and a great workspace. Our site had a beautiful view and was right next to a ranch where cows would come right up to the fence. The communal fire pit was a nice touch, and the private, fenced-in setting made us feel safe and comfortable. They also offer glamping tents and casitas on the property. Highly recommend!
