Rio Grande Forest Private Basecamp

Escape to our private two-acre sanctuary at the doorstep of the Rio Grande National Forest in South Fork, Colorado. Our beautiful property borders Beaver Creek Road for easy access and backs right up to millions of acres of pristine wilderness. Think of it as your launchpad for epic hikes, wildlife spotting, and off-grid bliss. Perched on an elevated clearing approximately 30 feet above Beaver Creek Road, our boondocking spot is tailor-made for self-reliant adventurers: vans, small trailers, and tents fit snugly with room to breathe. No hookups or amenities here—just pure, unfiltered nature. Camp out on the main campsite and/or pitch a tent just above the rocks with a great view. Wake to birdsong, scramble over dramatic rock outcroppings, and hit the trails seconds from camp. Beaver Mountain Trailhead and Church Creek Trailhead are within walking distance. ATV enthusiasts, rejoice: unload your machines on-site and ride straight into the forest via Beaver Creek Road. Plus, Million Reservoir (great fishing) and Beaver Creek Reservoir are just a few miles away. Ideal for solo wanderers, couples, or small groups (max 8), this is boondocking at its finest—quiet, starry nights, and that rare thrill of private land connected to a national forest. Pack your portable toilet, follow Leave No Trace, and leave restored. Fire bans? We will inform you. And, even though you're in the forest, cell service is fairly reliable here, and you’re only two miles from town. We’ve recently added an access gate and private property signage to make sure you won’t have any unexpected visitors (except for the deer that may wander through the property). The gate access code will be provided before you arrive. Plus, we'll send you a list of resources before your stay to help you with where to eat, places to visit, hikes to take, trash disposal, places to shower, and more... Welcome to your private, forest-edge retreat—where the adventure begins at your bumper.
