1 site · Tent1 acre · Fort Collins, CORustic Off-Grid Camping Overlooking Horsetooth
Welcome to your next great adventure! Nestled high above Horsetooth, this off-grid camping spot is your ticket to serenity, sweeping views, and a dash of wilderness charm. With Lory State Park and Horsetooth Falls practically in your backyard, it's the ideal hideaway for nature lovers looking to unplug and unwind.
Jaw-Dropping Views: Soak in panoramic vistas of Horsetooth Reservoir by day, marvel at the city lights by night, and stargaze to your heart's content. It’s like nature’s own IMAX.
Handy Perks: Enjoy the rustic luxuries of a small deck with hammock hooks, a picnic table for your gourmet camp meals, and a dome frame ready for your shade-creating tarps. There's also a small “outhouse” with a door for a bit of privacy for your portable potty. Remember, waste must leave with you—no dumping here! You can safely dispose of waste at the designated dump site near the fire station.
Fire Friendly (Sometimes): Fires are great, but let’s keep them safe! No fires on windy days or when there's a fire ban in Larimer County. Always extinguish it completely before leaving it unattended. Bring your own wood and let’s keep those marshmallows toasty without setting the world on fire.
Adventure Awaits:
Just minutes away, you’ll find Lory State Park and Horsetooth Falls, offering trails, lakes, and natural wonders galore. Whether you’re hiking, biking, or just taking in the scenery, adventure is calling!
Wildlife Encounters:
This isn’t a zoo, folks—it's the wild! Bears, deer, and other critters roam the area, so secure your food and keep an eye out. It’s their home too.
Important Details:
Access with a Twist: Getting here is half the fun! The steep road with its sharp corners isn’t big-RV friendly. Tent camping is the way to go unless you enjoy adrenaline-filled parking maneuvers.
Pack In, Pack Out: It’s all about keeping nature pristine. Bring everything in, take everything out, and leave no trace.
Safety Advisory:
Watch Your Step: With steep drop-offs nearby, sensible footwear and a healthy respect for gravity are essential.
Weather and Wildlife: Prepare for everything Mother Nature might throw at you—wind, rain, bushes, curious bears.
Don’t forget the water, sunscreen, proper footwear, and layered clothing.
