Small farm with U-pick apple orchard. We have free roaming chickens and bee hives ( are you allergic?). Beautiful view of the front range of the Rocky Mountains. Easy access to drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park. We are located in an agricultural area, corn, hay, sugar beets are farmed on a large scale. Our neighbors, Miller Farms CSA and farmers market, are one of the few remaining vegetable farms in the area. Small lake within walking distance. Pet friendly. 110V (very minimal) power and potable water available.
Please arrive no later than 8 p.m. to check in. We are a working farm and get up early and go to bed early. Contact us the day of your arrival with an estimated arrival time if possible. ThanksSite has views of Rocky Mountains and has 110 power (15 amp and minimal) and water tap. Can access with larger vehicle and is "drive through" friendly. Located away from the house behind the barn. Irrigation canal runs beside the site. Apples to pick and eat in season....over 2 dozen varieties. Nice quaint cute little farmstead. Tent camping could be set up in the orchard (depending on orchard work in progress), otherwise you are right next to it. Look at photos for entrance route marked in red with X being camping spot. Be aware of large and small irrigation ponds as you pull into the camp site. ( Marked with black circles on photo) . Avoid hitting water and electric service and enjoy your stay.
We loved our time at the apple orchard! Ample room for our teardrop. Definitely not for big Class A or Fifth-wheels! You'd end up in the pond or irrigation ditch! The toilet is a flush toilet in a little outhouse next to the barn and it's very clean. The chickens are fun to watch, milling around doing chicken things. And the apples are amazing! John has like 40 or 50 varieties on the farm, with at least a few varieties to pick each week in the fall. Check their website! We found a new favorite (Frostbite)! One thing to consider: this is a working orchard, so there will be people picking apples on the weekends in the fall right across the irrigation ditch from where the site is at. It didn't bother us, but it may not be as "private" as you may like. John is an excellent and attentive host and was available during the day if anything came up. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will come back!
John was a good host! I got there after dark and called him to say I would be. He was kind and still met me at the street as I pulled up. He got me situated and it was a nice visit. I was there at the right time to enjoy a few apples he gave me. Very nice place!
John has such a wonderful little farm hidden out of the way. He is very proud of his orchard and the variety of apples he has available. I will visit again in the fall.
