Epic place! Thankful for this place after our other plans fell through. Amazing star gazing and incredible views. We were scheduled for spot three however after only finding 1,2,4, and 5 we settled in at 1 with nobody else around. Only thing better would have been to stay longer.
What a beautiful campsite ! We had most of the whole site to ourselves. Beautiful views and lots of space. Takes some time to get to the top of the pass but it was worth it. Would love to go again
Camping on top of the pass was an unforgettable experience. When Anthony told us it had the "best view in Colorado," I was a bit skeptical, thinking he might be overselling it. But after spending a night there, I can confidently say he wasn’t. My husband and I traveled through Rocky Mountain National Park, Aspen, and Gunnison, and while all of those places were stunning, camping at the pass was the highlight of our trip. The sunset & sunrise from the top were breathtaking. At night, the stars were the most brilliant I’ve ever experienced, and the stillness up there made it feel like we were …
This was our first experience with Hipcamp and it couldn’t have been better. unfortunately, we got bad weather conditions on our way up to Colorado and Anthony was the sweetest and most helpful host that we could’ve asked for he waited for us to arrive to the bottom of the mountain in his car and as soon as we got there at about 7:30 PM, he guided us to a safe place where we could spend the night and gave really detailed directions. We woke up to the mountains covered in snow and had a beautiful morning. I can’t wait to go back into to know Tony more.
Absolutely beautiful spot and good level ground for camping. We have a small tear drop trailer, which made a little slow going up the pass from Tincup, but very doable with capable vehicle and trailer. Only knock would be these sites are at the very top of the pass, which leaves a lot of exposure to wind.
