Overview
Overview

This destination reflects the character of the surrounding public lands, making it a prime choice for travelers seeking immersion in the high desert and mountain transition zones of western Colorado.
Location & Surroundings
Approaching via U.S. Highway 50 or U.S. Highway 550, visitors encounter a striking topography defined by deep canyons, mesa tops, and distant alpine peaks. The local climate is typically arid and sunny, bringing warm summer days and crisp desert nights. This high-desert environment requires rigs equipped for variable temperatures and unpaved access routes.

Who This Park Is Best For

Anyone looking to tackle Western Slope trails or explore deep canyon country will find this a strategic jumping-off point for regional adventures.
Reviews

Good for hunters. Went for 4 nights here and this cabin has heart but definitely needs some TLC. I'm assuming it's just run down due to having to clean it yourself. I'm sure some people just pick up and leave dirty. The mattresses are in clean good shape. Non-potable water here so bring your own drinking water. Rooms stay warm at night during freezing temps. Two bathrooms with showers are nice for multiple people to use. However the showers need new shower heads due to the bad water quality. There seems to be a fly problem. Every night all the lights have tons of flies buzzing around them. Even when the doors and windows are shut. We noticed during the day flies were going in and out the roof vents outside. This makes me think something is rotting up in the attic. Besides all the problems this is in the center of elk and deer country. Walk out and start hunting. Access to ATV trails close by. Warm at night, electricity, showers, full kitchen, fire pit are nice luxuries for an outdoorsman.

An extremely dusty shadow of its former self, come clean it, get hantavirus for only $120/night, flush our mysterious orange water filled toilets!

Took a wonder by the pond, thought I saw this long slithery thing swim by. Got spooked and went back to the barn.
