When it comes to camping in Colorado, the options are almost limitless. From the valleys of the state’s highest peaks to Garden of the Gods and beyond, you’ll find alpine lakes, red rock formations, craggy peaks, dense pine forest, and wildflower-dotted meadows all right outside the tent door. 


While Colorado claims many iconic destinations, Garden of the Gods ranks near the top of many visitors’ lists. The red rock formations backed by towering mountain ridgelines offers a jaw-dropping location for both hiking and camping in Colorado. Head to the Garden of the Gods RV Resort and pitch your tent for easy access to adventure, or opt for a cottage to enjoy a little luxury at the edges of one of Colorado’s most scenic locations. Enjoy easy day hikes through the namesake park, or explore the trails that trace through Red Rock Canyon Open Space.


If wilderness and solitude are more of what you’re looking for, ditch the big city and head for Twin Lakes, the basecamp for Colorado’s highest peak, Mount Elbert. Situated at a lofty 9,900 feet on the edges of Turquoise Lake, May Queen Campground offers both tranquility and million-dollar views. Sleep beneath a starry sky amidst lodgepole pines and spend your days exploring the Turquoise Lake Nature Trail. Ambitious hikers can post up at the Elbert Creek campground and head for the Mount Elbert trailhead to tackle the challenging trek to the 14,433-foot summit. And, don’t forget the fishing rod for this destination: angling on any of the nearby lakes is a great way to enjoy sunny summer days camping in Colorado’s mountains.


Those looking to stay closer to the Mile High City can find tent camping at Echo Lake campground on the outskirts of Idaho Springs, or at Aspen Meadows campground in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Whether it’s a weekend getaway not far from the city or a challenging and inspiring adventure deep in the mountains, the medley of camping in Colorado has something for everyone.

High Country RV Park

Howdy!

Your Alpine Canyon Campsite is located in stunning Norwood Colorado, with views of the La Sal Mountains (Utah) to the west, the San Juans (Telluride) to the east, and the beautiful sprawling valley of Wrights Mesa in the middle.

The campsite is off the back of a little canyon (so it's a cul-de-sac, meaning no through traffic = privacy!). This also means that you will be nestled in the canyon, so the views of the mountains will be all around you within minutes out and about, but while at the campsite it feels more like you're tucked into the woods.

It's a very peaceful hideaway, albeit there are indeed a few neighbors (every one is at least two acres apart), so please keep it peaceful and respect the locals. No loud amplification (bluetooth speaker and respectable volume is fine). No loud "partying" of any sorts.

Regarding terrain and vegetation; please note, although we're in the Rocky Mountains, it is an alpine "high desert" located in the Colorado Plateau. Meaning the plush valley you see is irrigated by snow melt, and altho there is a lot of greenery, we must be vigilant in obeying the fire restrictions during the dry seasons. Please do not think about having an open fire unless the fire signs (there is one entering town) in the region say it's clear to do so ( + most of the time it's not during the summer / fall). The good news is, Norwood is an International Dark Sky Community! Meaning that instead of looking down at a fire, you'll be looking up at the blazing stars with some of the best views of the night sky in the country. Trust me, the stars are one of the reasons I bought the property.

Although this beautiful spot is remote in feeling, the small "Town" of Norwood is within 10 minutes of a car ride, and includes a grocery store (Clark's; open 7-9), gas station, Ace Hardware, a Saloon (The Lone Cone Saloon), dispensary (Alpine Wellness), Post Office, a state of the art Libary, and few other gems.

Other great news…

Telluride, the crown jewel of San Miguel County (at least according to the millionaires… I like Norwood better for it's big open sky, peaceful privacy, and salt of the earth folk) is 45 mins away! Telluride hosts some of the best skiing in North America in the winters, and some of the best festivals during the summer (Telluride Bluegrass, Blues and Brews, Telluride Film Fest, Ride Fest, Telluride Mushroom Fest, Telluride Jazz Fest, etc).

Legendary Moab is a mere 2 hours away! And the drive there is one of my favorites in the country. Ken's Lake has camping that way and it's a great little stop along the way to Canyonlands or Arches Nat. Park.

Other epic attractions nearby are the hike at Blue Lakes, Alta Lakes, Thunder Trails (known for biking and off roading), Miramonte Reservoir (where you can swim with a view of the Lone Cone Mountain), Telluride Horseback Adventures (Ride with Roudy) is also in Norwood. Heck there is a rodeo in town too if your around for that!

There are endless things to do in the region, from rafting / kayaking / tubing down river, to fly fishing, hiking, biking, off roading, skiing, snow showing, stargazing etc.

Further notes:

I am single-handedly slowly developing this property. It took me years (due to travel and weather restraints) to clean it up after how the previous owners left it, and she's feeling so good after all the hard work… Now that it's cleaned up a bit, I'm developing a little Tiny Home tucked away. So please note that you are entering an off-grid homestead of sorts, and this is technically "vacant" land, but it does have some human elements evolving and I'm glad to have you witness some of the journey. That being said, when you contact me to book, I may or may not be there working on the property. Most often I am not, but if this is a concern of yours, give me a shout!

Thanks!

The Space:
Moab and five National Parks are one hour away!

Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with farmers, ranchers, and other property owners to offer unique outdoor accommodations on beautiful private land. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature! You'll have the entire campsite to yourself, as you'll be the only Campers enjoying this piece of paradise.

Each campsite includes a 10'x12' safari-style canvas tent on a raised platform, and you'll find one queen bed or a queen-size bunk bed inside (each site is different, see photos for the exact setup). Larger groups can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that___s provided (you___re welcome to bring your own camping gear too). You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs, and a heating source to keep you warm and toasty at night. 

What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling 
-Bedding and pillows
-Lanterns and lighting 
-Firewood for the campfire
-Water

Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location on the property. 

If a CampKeeper submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the CampKeeper___s property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!


Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. Line the bucket with a CleanWaste bag supplied at the camp (or another appropriate plastic bag) prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. We got this idea from bathrooms used on NASA spaceships, and we've used the Tentrr Loo countless times ourselves- don't worry!

Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.

Other Things to Note:
Bring your own food. The nearest Grocery store and restaurants are 25 miles away.

Bring your own bedding.

NO SMOKING IN THE TENTS.
