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.

The Best Camping Near Vernal, Colorado

Our 45 acre, COMPLETELY SMOKE/PET FREE, Ranch sits 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.

Meadows of San Juan Resort

CampStargazer is centrally located between Grand Junction / Montrose & the Paiona/Hotchkiss/Crawford area of the Western Slope.
Our camping tentsite is located on a secluded part of the 130 acre Stargazer Ranch in Delta Colorado.  Just 7 miles from town yet has zero light pollution allowing for amazing epic views of the night sky.  The site offers stunning views of the San Juan mountains to the South and the Grand Mesa to the North.  Behind you and bordering the property is the Gunnison George / Black Canyon with miles of trails for hiking, biking, ATV'ing, dirt biking and horseback riding.

The Grand Mesa has over 300 lakes to explore and you are only 30 minutes away from some amazing wineries and quaint small town shoping.

*** Unfortunately no pets at this time.  While we LOVE all animals we have 3 dogs that "Free Range" guard the property.  They are all great with people, and the farm animals, however not so great with other dogs.  ***

The Space:
Secluded Campsite with Epic Sunsets, views of the surrounding areas and Stunning Stargazing!

Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. 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! 

Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed with a memory foam mattress. The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that___s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, and 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs. 

Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation. 

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. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean.

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.

Interaction with Guests:
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.

If a Tentrr Host submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the host'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!

Reservation Modifications/Cancellations: Please note the terms of the cancelation policy as they are outlined in your confirmation email. Your Tentrr Host is unable to change or cancel your reservation on your behalf, and they are unable to waive any cancellation fees (if applicable). If you have any questions regarding modifications to your booking, please reach out to Tentrr Customer Support.

Other Things to Note:
Leave No Trace.

This is a 10 acre property right in town....well the outskirts, but walking distance to the shops. Horses and llamas roam the property with a sweet little 600 square feet cabin - very rustic. The views are incredible with the San Juan Mountains staring right at you. Nothing is more gorgeous. You are welcome to experience the horses, only with me that is. If you have never been around a horse - or even if you have, this is the place to be. A river runs through the 10 acres.

## Overview

A camping trip to the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park makes for a beautiful getaway for sightseeing, stargazing, and hiking. The park protects the most dramatic section of the Gunnison River Canyon; no other canyon in North America combines the narrow opening, sheer walls, and startling depths of Black Canyon.

## Recreation

Take one of many spectacular hikes such as the Oak Flat Loop Trail, and watch for the black-billed magpie. In summer, catch an evening educational program in the campground amphitheater. In winter, try snowshoeing on Rim Rock Trail or go cross country skiing on South Rim Drive.

## Facilities

Campsites are open year round, but drinking water is only available mid-May through mid-October. Electric hookups are in Loop B and available in the summer only.

## Natural Features

Perched on the South Rim of the Black Canyon, this campground is surrounded by scrub oak forests and sits atop ancient hard rocks. Deer, grouse, bears, and bobcats are known to frequent the area. 

## Nearby Attractions

Visit the Cimarron Rail Exhibit to see railcars and the last remaining railroad trestle on the Black Canyon of the Gunnison route. Head upstream to Curecanti National Recreation Area to enjoy water recreation on Colorado's largest reservoir.

Cell service is unreliable at best, and often non-existent. Do not expect cell service within the park.
