Roaring River: Glamping Tents

Staying at Roaring River was on the tail end of our 15day & 4,500mi Motorcycle trip out to Colorado. My wife and I were excited sleep in a real bed for the first time in a week (vs tent/sleeping bags). We seemed to be the only tenants for the night, but we spent a good amount of time speaking with the owner before the sun set and setting up to cook dinner. The fire pits are nice and the ability to purchase a small bundle of dry firewood at the camp store on-site is very convenient. They also have snacks and beverages for sale, and are working on opening a short-order type restaurant, with an additional option for a pre-reserved nicer dinner. The bath house was very clean and equipped with full sized showers. The owners are great resources as well and are very friendly / accommodating.

There were 2 very minor negatives, both related to the fact that this location is brand new:

• It was hot in the bath house. The owner did say they were still working on the building and the AC was not fully functional yet.
• The gravel was loose and had not had enough traffic to pack it down. This likely will not matter to anyone else since most will be in cars and not on a 700lb motorcycle with another full sized adult on the back.

Overall I highly recommend staying at Roaring River Hills, and giving the glamping tents a try. So nice to be able to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors without all the unpacking, setup, repacking and susbstandard comfort of a sleeping bag. I am excited to ride back there in the next year to see the progress and maybe reserve one of their couples dinner packages, if they choose to pursue that as an option.

If staying here be sure to give your feedback to the owners about what you liked and would be interested in, vs their future plans. I could see this place becoming a hot spot in a beautiful area of the country.
