Beautiful area! Very nice camping. We pulled a fifth wheel and our spot was so nice. We went for a horseback ride, which was so much fun! Definitely recommend if you want to camp in a gorgeous, peaceful environment

The "spacious cabin" was a tiny room barely big enough to fit our stuff. A space heater for heat and an outhouse. No keys to lock our room. All the hunters were trying to find out who their guides were at 9pm the night before the hunt. Pete told my husband he will be hunting in 581. We later learned 581 is an over the counter unit. His draw was for 59 but he never got to hunt that unit. Told we would pay $750 for a pack out services if we got an elk. I had a contract clearly stating pack out services were included. Monday, the spot he and his guides had hunted the last two days was taken by another guide after he heard about their elk sighting the day before. none of the guides were familiar with the area.

This place has potential to be amazing but it shows a lot of neglect & terrible communication. They told use they were going to shut the water off in the upper area to winterize the lines but they ended up shutting ALL the water off on our second night so we had NO way to rinse our tanks, take showers, do diahes, etc.. Roads are heavily rutted, sites are covered with sticker bushes, trash & ours even had an abandoned sewer hose laying by the pedestal 🙄 We stayed during off season & still paid the full price without any of the "amenities" so that was disappointing. The office did leave out our late check in folder with instructions to leave our credit card information to complete the payment but there was NO where to leave it securely & no one was at the office the times we tried to go by 🤷‍♀️ Do not recommend.

We went and met some friends. I had not been there for years and definitely sad to see so much needed maintenance. The horse pens would not close properly, the cabin looked like they shopped at Goodwill and took whatever color was available for mix and match bedspreads, bedskirts and furninshing that all CLASHED. The cabin except for bedding and towels was just plain dirty. Items did not work and goats hung out on our porch and pooped but no one ever even came by and swept. The worst was when a wrangler's children came by and begged for food or a snack. All in all, there is just no excuse for the way this place is being run.

We used to love this place, but the new ownership doesn't and it shows. Roads on the ranch are unmaintained to the degree that some of the ruts pose a real hazard to RV's and horses being transported. I asked about this prior to arrival, upon arrival and prior to departure, and was told "we're working on it", but no work was actually performed. If anyone breaks their equipment or livestock, please feel free to reach out and I'll provide a copy of the formal notice that was given to them several days before our checkout, detailing each of the more serious ruts that posed a risk to our equipment. It might help you with your liability claim against them. Sites are not level, and trash is evidently not picked up between stays. There's also an on-property burn ban, regardless of local burn advisories (that's not neglect on their part, but it's the only "campground" in CO that I've ever seen that doesn't allow fires when everyone else does). There's a smoking ban on the property (which I approve of), but it doesn't apply to staff and marijuana, apparently, as the staff camper south situated of site 16a sent waves of dirtweed smoke our way throughout our stay. We also got to listen to them complaining on the phone about being unable to get high despite smoking 20 joints a day. (I suspect it was because she was smoking dirtweed instead of the medical grade recreational marijuana that CO is famous for.. it sure smelled that way). The new owners are present, but they never spoke with us; they just drove by and gave us dirty looks after we sent the "these roads are sketchy" email. We saw them frequently adding equipment to the MMA studio they're apparently trying to get off the ground, which they seem much more focused on than the ranch. Personally, I don't think that rolling around with other dudes in the backwoods is the best business model, but I understand Brokeback Mountain did pretty well at the box office, and that didn't interest me either. Maybe they're on to something. Time will tell, but in the meantime, I wouldn't recommend visiting the ranch for anything else. Another issue is the forest service road that you have to follow to access the ranch. I'm not sure if they're allowed to grade it or if it's beyond their control, but if you are not interested in off-roading your coach or your trailer, you may want to think twice. "We're working on it" doesn't mean what most people think it means to these folks. On the plus side: It's serene, and it was empty while we were there, which was fantastic (probably not so much for the new owners). There were two other couples on the property the whole time we were there. Once the coach was parked, I had my heavily modded Jeep and the roads were fine for that.

This is the place for a relaxing, western style of a vacation. The staff is always friendly and eager to assist to make your vacation memorable. The horseback ride is a must. Our guides Autumn and Andrew could not have been any better. The horses are well trained and this ride is probably the best we have ever taken. We don't want to leave.

Our family had another wonderful visit to the ranch (This is our third)! The staff is very friendly especially Kelly, Kathy and Ken! Kaitlyn was amazing with the kids under 10 for buckaroo rides (arena horseback riding lesson). Rustic and peaceful environment away from the city. The kids loved petting and visiting the horses and cows, making a western movie, the campfire and s’mores at night both near the office and at the chuckwagon sight, the playground, and collecting eggs from the chicken coup. The bunkhouse (recreation room) has lots of fun family games. There is a dinosaur museum and wolf rescue center nearby which made for fun afternoon outings. Wonderful place to relax and have privacy or meet other families and friendly staff. Cool mornings and evenings and hot days during the summer months. Pikes peak national forest and the ponderosa pines are beautiful as you drive to the ranch or when you take a trail ride. Lots of opportunities for interaction and watching horses, chickens, and a huge variety of bird species in the area. We also have stayed at the ranch during Fallfest and had a wonderful time with the family activities provided.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this ranch. We were especially impressed with the programs provided for the children each day. The bathrooms are very clean and the staff is extraordinarily accommodating and nice. If you like to trail ride or just take a horseback ride with a guide, there are miles of National Forest right next door. There are horse pens at each site. The kiddos in our group really loved making the movie.
