Nederland

Roosevelt National Forest

One of the Snowbird campsites, along the Timber Lake trail. It was very well maintained.  A bull moose walked through my campsite, twice!  This is the closest campground to Timber Lake (1/4 mile up the trail) and is very convenient for a dayhike up Mount Ida.

Neverland/Camp Wilder

Welcome to Camp Wilder! We are an off-the-beaten-path camp offering peace and solitude.

The cabin is very special to my family and me. It was passed down as a mining claim from my grandmother who founded it in the '60s. The vision for the land was simply perfect.

A small 10 x 10 cabin with the whole mountain to explore and whoever they wished to bring with them.

The town of Nederland is 10 minutes down the road where you can fish at Baker Reservoir. Lots of fun little stores in town to keep the family busy.

Wildlife is everywhere up by the cabin/campsite, always remember don't  leave food lying around with lots of great things to look for around the magical town of Nederland.

The cabin sleeps up to 8 with the futon downstairs being very comfortable and 3" foam upstairs in the loft for more sleeping area. Bring your sleeping bags to stay cozy at night. There are lanterns inside to light up your night with a wood stove to keep you warm at night. The ground around it is sloped so you may have a hard time setting up any tents around the cabin.

The grocery store is in Nederland where you can buy food, Coleman green propane bottles, gallon jugs of water and wood. There is a 3 burner Coleman, stove to cook on with limited pots & pans as well as silverware.

Road disclaimer, the road to the cabin is one lane dirt road. The drive up to the cabin is pretty good but the turn onto the single dirt road to the cabin has a slight dip, if you have a low-clearance car it may bottom out when you are turning so be careful.

No Trailers. They will not be able to turn around once there.

Recommend vehicles with AWD.  Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles. Park on the left. Hike down to the cabin between yellow stakes.

We are @ 10,000 feet and it is a slight hike to the cabin. Go 3.4 miles up Caribou road. Turn right @ yellow stakes go .4 miles 

When leaving please make sure both door locks are locked, put the key in the lock box and mix the code for the next camper.

Bliss Pond reflect the glory of Fall colors.

Rocky Mountain Glamping

A Rocky Mountain Glamping Experience!

*** Bliss Camp awarded Runner-Up for 

Best Glamping in Colorado for 2023 and 2024 ***

November 2024 Update:

Winter has arrived and after a very successful 2024 Glamping season, Bliss Camp is taking a break until April 2025. 

2024 provided exceptional weather which enhanced all of our many Glampers' experiences. Temperatures were delightful all the way until October 30. Wildflowers were abundant most of the season, and autumn colors were spectacular for nearly two months.

Bliss Camp is now accepting reservations for our 2025 Glamping season. We will be reopening April 25, weather permitting. 

Due to our popularity reservations often fill up quickly. 

We suggest you make your reservations as much as six months in advance if you are that organized and especially if you have a group to rent the entire camp. At times there are last minute cancelations which allows for last minute openings.

Big news flash: 

Bliss Camp is adding a 12' x 14' Glamping Wall Tent in 2025. We have it in our possession now! This is larger than our Frontier Tent. It will have an early settler / gold miner theme which is fitting since Bliss Canyon may have been the northern most gold mines in Colorado.

The tent will be placed uphill in a private location in the vicinity of the Frontier Tent. It will be situated about 300' from the Frontier Tent so privacy will be maintained for all accommodations. The view of rock formations is spectacular. It will have it's own well-stocked kitchen, private hot shower and propane fire pit for those romantic moments! Oh, did we mention there is flat parking within 30' !

Dot and Byron look forward to greeting our many returning guests and are eager to meet new Glamping adventurers.

Happy Trails and towards the fun!

Dot and Byron

Welcome to Bliss Canyon!

Relax stream side in your private camp overlooking lush nature and towering rock outcroppings. Stroll along a rushing stream or head up challenging Moose Track trail to Balancing Rock. After your day of adventure or kicking back enjoy a hot shower. Share your revelations of the day around the campfire, roast marshmallows, or relish your favorite beverage or special treat as you unwind.

The open air, covered Kitchens have sinks, fresh, potable hot water, kitchenware, gas stove —pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc, BBQ with side burner, critter-resistant food safe, bear-proof trash can, and picnic table outside. We provide a convenient propane campfire for safety since our climate is dry and often windy. No candles or open flames please.

There are easy trails on property along the lush stream (the original riverbed of the Middle Saint Vrain Stream), fishing or swimming in the pond (no lifeguard on duty), or challenging trails into Roosevelt National Forest from the property. (Ask Hiker Dot for guidance.) Several National Forest access points, where you can enjoy peaceful walks away from crowds, are a short drive.

Bliss Canyon is a spur off of breathtaking, picturesque South Saint Vrain Canyon. Stroll on over to the South or Middle for renowned fly fishing. For climbers, there are over 50 climbs in South Saint Vrain Canyon!

Dark Skies:  If you like to watch the stars and meteor showers, Bliss Canyon is blessed with dark skies with little light from the plains. Bring your telescopes and explore the Universe.

Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the five Crown Jewels of the National Park Service, is nearby. The closest trailhead in RMNP is 10 miles, the next trailhead at Wild Basin entrance to the park is 13 miles, and the Beaver Meadows entrance (main entrance) is 36 miles. Rocky Mountain National Park has breathtaking drives, easy strolls with interpretive signs, and 360 miles of trails. (Advance reservation required for entry 9:00 am to 3:00 pm for main park, or 5:00 am to 6:00 pm for Bear Lake corridor.)

Indian Peaks Wilderness also has several nearby access points and trailheads. Ask Dot for details.

Fall Colors are forecasted to be over the top this year starting in September to late October. Bliss Canyon explodes with color and is a great base camp for Aspen viewing along Peak to Peak Highway, Rocky Mountain National Park and all the surrounding areas.

The famous Fall Elk Rut starts the beginning of September. According to Byron, the Elk Rut is one of the best National Geographic Moments on the Planet! This is a must experience event! We are located near Rocky Mountain National Park which typically provides the best opportunities to view the Rut, as well as other areas near the Park.

During the Fall we provide "Little Buddy" propane heaters for the Gypsy Wagons and the Frontier Tent to help you warm up during cold evenings.

Additionally, with a new Starlink booster we now have internet at all camps.

The charming town of Lyons is 20 minutes away with coffee shops, restaurants, bars, lots of great live music, library with free wifi, and quaint shops*. Also, Spirit Hound Distillery received the award for the #1, Best Whiskey in the World in 2022, hmmm, it might be worth a tasting!

Dot and Byron look forward to hosting you in our spectacular Rocky Mountain Paradise.

Gold Nugget Tree House

Come visit our sweet little treehouse in the woods.

Our property is just steps away from the bustling historic town of Gold Hill, a destination for tourists and road bikers alike.  The treehouse is a glamping experience with just enough amenities to keep you comfortable.  

Food - Bring your cooler with food supplies or take out in Boulder before you head up the mountain.  Or grab a coffee, pizza, snack or a glass of wine at the Gold Hill store.   If you'd like a full service dining experience, make a reservation for a 5 course meal at the Gold Hill Inn.  

What To Do:  

Walk around the historic town of Gold Hill.  We promise you will be entertained. 
Ask a local about the museum, the cemetery, or the historic two room school house, or any other favorite spots they have around the area.  

Love the woods and nature, but would like a little action?  Attend a local live music concert at the Gold Hill Store or the Gold Hill Inn on a beautiful summers night.  

Drive to Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park to explore for the day.

Boulder - 20 minutes

Nederland - 35 minutes

Estes Park - 45 minutes

The Treehouse is furnished with Queen size bed and plenty of blankets to keep you warm, but feel free to bring your sleeping bag if you prefer.

A roll out twin size feather bed for the floor is available upon request if you have a few more folks joining.

We provide a portable toilet with WagBags. Please always pack out all human solid human waste. Gold Hill Store offers a toilet for a minimal fee and the Gold Hill Inn has a toilet for customers. A camp stove is available for outdoor use.   The camp stove and the propane heater both use 1 lb propane canisters, so feel free to bring your own fuel to cook and keep you warm.  A can of propane is always available for your use of the stove.

* A note to novice campers and regular hotel patrons:  Though you are in a shelter, you are still exposed to the elements.  The treehouse is not insulated.  Wind, bugs, and critters may all be a part of the variable treehouse experience mother nature has planned for you.  If you are not comfortable camping, getting dirty, swatting flies, being too hot, being too cold, hearing the noises of animals at night, waking up to the sound of magpies, and who knows what else, this experience may not be for you.
