Hummingbird Ranch

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available at Hummingbird Ranch, a privately managed campground outside campgrounds near Rye, Colorado, where nightly rates run $30 to $33. Getting there requires navigating a dirt county road off Interstate 25, and several reviewers flag the access as rough enough to give pause, though rigs up to 44 feet have made it back without issue. The property sits in forested terrain near a creek, with open meadows providing sightlines toward the surrounding mountains.

Sites spread across a large grassy area, and campers frequently report having the place to themselves. Signage on the property can be unclear, so first-timers may need to look for the hand-painted markers that lead to the main parking area. Amenities include picnic tables, toilets, cell service, and ADA-accessible facilities. Alcohol is permitted. Tara M. notes the porta-potty was "clean too," which tracks with other reviewers who mention the grounds are generally well-kept.

One recent review from 2024 reported a disconnected contact number and no clear indication of where to camp on arrival, suggesting operations may be inconsistent. Booking a reservation in advance and confirming contact information before heading out is worth the extra step. The site's low light pollution makes it a reasonable stop for stargazing, as visitors have used it for meteor shower viewing. Nearby, Rye Beach provides another option if Hummingbird Ranch is unavailable. Plan to arrive with directions confirmed and extra time to locate the correct camping area.

Many campers appreciated the expansive grassy sites with mountain views and clean facilities in a peaceful setting. However, some noted navigation challenges and booking difficulties with pricing concerns for tent campers.

Absolute scam

We drove there no markings of anywhere to camp no one around and when you call the number provided by Dyrt it has been disconnected. We moved on and will be fighting to get a refund.

Great quiet place to camp!

My girlfriend and I came here to watch the Perseid meteor shower and it did not disappoint. We had the place to ourselves and a great view of the stars. A little hard to figure out exactly where to camp, but other than that, convenient to access and beautiful. Portapotty was clean too! We plan to come back.

Fantastic place for a stop over!

This is a wonderful gem to find! Large area to park away from others! (We had the place to ourselves) however signage could be better to point you in the right direction but once you find the “hip” signs it leads you to a huge grassy area! There would have been wonderful views of mountains but we had rain and clouds while we were there until we were leaving. Would def stop here again when traveling through!

Night sky!!!!

Hummingbird Ranch was the most beautiful site we stayed at during a 5,500 mile cross country adventure! Awesome views, beautiful sky, and complete freedom. My husband was a little concerned when we left the highway for a dirt county road, but his concerns quickly changed as we enjoyed the beauty and wonder of the Colorado mountains!

I highly recommend this bucket-list experience. Colorado in its most natural beauty.
