This campsite sits on top of a mountain at nearly 10,000ft, making this one of the highest Glamping sites in the U.S.! Situated on over 100 acres of private, pristine Colorado mountain land that offers over 3 miles of private hiking trails and unrivaled views in all directions. To the North is Americas Mountain- the monstrous 14,115 Pikes Peak. Expansive views from the tent to the South overlook Beaver Creek Canyon and the Arkansas river valley, which sits nearly 5,000ft below the property allowing you to easily see 100+ miles into the horizon. Take a stroll through a lush aspen grove with towering aspen trees, hike through a pine forest ravine or relax in a sunny meadow - this campsite has it all. The campsite is very private yet accessible to many amenities and activities. Its a 15 minute drive to Victor, or 25 minutes to Cripple Creek where many tourist attractions await. Mining tours, gold panning, gaming and gambling, restaurants, railroad tours and more! Drive, bike or hike just a few miles down the road to Skagway reservoir to enjoy excellent trout fishing. There is a hiking trailhead near the dam at Skagway that follows the river into Beaver Creek canyon with tons of beautiful granite formations- fish, hike or climb in this incredible area. To make your getaway even more convenient the host offers an extra (at additional cost) Adventure Gear Shed thats packed with all the stuff to make our campers' time here even more unforgettable- fishing equipment, kayaks, SUP boards, hiking gear, outdoor games, dog gear, extra tent and chairs.
A beautiful site for a Colorado getaway.
Lovely hosts and incredible views!
We had a wonderful time at the 105 West Ranch. The accessibility from Denver made it the perfect getaway for the whole family (toddler and dog included). Aspen trees surround the tiny home and make for a rejuvenating setting. Views of southern Colorado on one end of the property stretch forever (seemingly to New Mexico), with inspiring site lines of Pikes Peak to the north. The entire area is lusher than many other places we have visited in Colorado this year.
Despite feeling a world away, some cool towns were deceptively nearby. We visited Victor (more extensive than expected) and Cripple Creek (a remarkably well-preserved mining town). We took a quick trip to see the Florissant petrified redwood stumps (a super underrated Colorado attraction). Finally, the Skaguay Reservoir (less than ten minutes away) was a fun spot for relaxing on the water with our Kokopelli packrafts.
We love the ranch and can't wait to go back.
I recently stayed at the Dome at 105 West Ranch and the environment was very quiet and peaceful. My dog was able to comfortably roam freely and the views were panoramic. Cell service was extremely limited but if you're looking for a true camping experience with an upgraded sleeping arrangement, this is it! Jeff was also very kind and accommodating when I had to reschedule my original booking due to sudden bad weather.
