Location:
The Camping site is surrounded by a Jefferson County Open Space Park known as Mathews/Winters Park. So, there are many hiking trails within an extremely short walk, and many more within a short drive. You can walk to a brewery and restaurant. Five minute drive to Colorado Mills Mall. The site is 2 miles away from Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which there is a direct hiking trail. It is also about 2.5 miles from Bandimere Speedway, a NHRA dragstrip. The site is 45 minutes away from Loveland ski area, so if you are going skiing and are familiar with the area, you are close to many ski areas! It is very close to Golden which has many niche shopping areas and of course Coors Brewery. On the other end is the quite little town of Morrison which has many unique opportunities for restaurants and shopping. With all above mentioned you have a total secluded feel and still have many amenities nearby. The perfect access to major highways, means at times , in the summer, you will hear the rumble of some traffic. Ear plugs are provided or bring your own ear muffs. Please be aware you are staying in Colorado wilderness. You may encounter deer, fox , coyotes, raccoon, rattlesnake, owls , bobcat, rabbits, rattlesnake, moths, bats, Koala bears, birds, snow leopards, mountain lion, bear, elk, moose, gooses, cows, squirrel, honey badgers, magpies and fruit bats. Watch your steps and keep foods locked in your car. There are air horns provided to scare off un wanted visitors. You will be expected to tidy up after yourself as there is no house keeping service!! *There is no cleaning fee , but if you leave a mess you can/will be charged for cleaning , and nobody wants that! We used to provide more stuff but some people suck, they leave messes and steal items. Please be respectful of the next guest!!
