About 3 Pond Ranch

This property is nestled right between two great Colorado reservoirs, Harvey Gap and Rifle Gap. The camping area is right beside a beautiful pond with live fish. There is a picnic table and small firepit for activities. Harvey Gap is about a 1 mile walk from the property and Rifle Gap is a 7 min drive. This property is situated right beside BLM land with a trail head for 4x4 and hiking just 30 seconds down the road or out the back door.

We loved tent camping on Brandon’s land. The private ponds are beautiful, the area is secluded and there are several state parks near by. He was an amazing host, very responsive, and attentive!

We had such a great experience at 3 Pond Ranch! I came with my kids for the weekend (5, m; 9, f) and it was perfect. The site was recently cleared, so plenty of options for pitching the tent. There's a picnic table overlooking the pond, and it sits between two trees for shade. The site is very close to Rifle Falls State Park, so if you are headed that way, this is a great option. There is also some wi-fi availability, but ideally not actually at the campsite (there's a signal at the top of the hill, but I really appreciated not having direct access at the site but still being able to get one i…

We had a great time here :) it is SUPER close to Harvey gap and rifle falls which is a must see! The property was private and had a bench and fire pit. The area was pretty and the host was great! Amazing communication and very responsive! I would recommend this place!!! Also was fun to watch some fish in the pond :)

We very much enjoyed the quiet campsite. It was minutes away from both Rifle and Harvey Gap reservoirs making the days travels to the lake short and sweet. The small pond on the property offered occasional peeks at the resident bass. Catching one will be a chore as they are very picky and skittish but cool to see swimming around. Evenings were wonderful! Cool temps allowed us to open the camper windows and be comfortable all night getting that mountain air feel we crave fostering a rare full nights rest. Morning sunrise was an absolute delight. It’s a small but perfect little campsite.

Tent camped here and loved it! Nestled between Harvey Gap reservoir, Rifle Gap reservoir, and Rifle Falls, there is a lot of fun to be had. The site is very well maintained, with a nice flat area, some shade trees and a cool little pond where you can watch some bass zip around. A short walk up the hill and you can connect to wi-fi from the nearby house on the property, which is a nice option if needed.
