About Dark Sky Paradise
Did you know the Milky Way has color? Come experience night skies like you have never seen them before! Look up when the next meteor shower is and reserve your spot. Most visitors love the serene atmosphere and want to get away from it all. You can explore 45 of our acres and access 45 acres of land locked BLM lands. A quick 5 min drive away is endless BLM and public lands. The land is around 10 miles from the town of Naturita which has a restaurant, atv rentals, a bar, a grocery store, thrift store, library, consignment store, dispensaries and gas stations. Naturita is an amazing place for Dark Sky viewing, hiking, camping, biking, and scenic drives. The outdoor recreation opportunities are endless. It is very close (driving) to the Dolores River. The land is surrounded by BLM and near the Uncompahge National Forest. The Dark Sky campsite is also close to the Unaweep/Tabegauche Scenic and Historic Byway. We are about 2 hours from Moab, UT! We go to Moab to get sushi. Come here to get away from it all! The land itself offers incredible mountain views. You park at the tree line with desert Sage brush views to the East, Pinion and Juniper trees with a private canyon and beautiful rock formations to the West. Just North is 45 acres of landlocked BLM public land walking distance from the campsite. Unit 70 for the hunters who know how legendary this area is. Our land has an obstacle course, private paintball/gel blaster/nerf field, seasonal lake, trails, canyon, elevation gains and drops. Pets are encouraged to join you.

Nice little spot - had a campfire and waited for the evening so I could see the sky. So many stars!
We came for dark skies and solitude and we got them! It's desert beauty, scraggy and hot, but very peaceful. It's important to be aware that the main site is right next to a paint ball course (tires, sandbags, that sort of thing) -- if you have tent(s) you can park there at the main site and walk in away from that -- there's a nice big fire pit (so a big group would have good space to hang out) and as promised a primitive toilet arrangement. However, we had a trailer and so if we'd stayed in that spot our view from where we parked would have been of the tires and sandbags. Luckily, Sonny t…
This dark sky camping site was amazing!! The peace and serenity that surrounded me day and night was perfect! Just the sounds of nature and your own inner vibration. Not having water or power hookups was never missed. My spot was perfectly set to witness gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. But most of all the Perseid meteor shower and the bright beautiful Milky Way were the best I've ever seen!! I loved and really enjoyed my time here so much that I'll definitely go back!!
Sonny was a fantastic host and responded to our texts almost immediately! As we were arriving after dark, finding the correct turn off would have been difficult without his quick reply and great instructions. The spot is absolutely beautiful with lots of Juniper trees in the area. Coyotes can be heard at night with lots of wildlife in the area. If you are looking for solitude without a soul for miles, this is your spot. The small towns of Naturita and Red Vale are relatively close when you need to grab some extra supplies. I will definitely be returning soon!
This was the second time camping at Sonny’s property and it was fantastic! Sonny communicates well and the directions are spot on. It was our annual Winter Camping trip and it was exactly what we wanted. It is perfectly located near Naturita, Norwood and Ridgway. It is secluded enough to get a break from people, close enough to town for any supplies and a short trip to Ridgway if you want to get a soak in at Orvis Hot springs. I highly recommend checking it out for the dark skies, abundant stars and beautiful mountain vistas!
Secluded campground. Wonderful sunsets! Great stars late at night. Easy to find with GPS directions and hipcamp signs. Enjoyed our stay!
