About DeD Tick Ranch

Great communication and the site is exactly as described. Easy to find with descriptions and GPS. The dirt road was no problem at all. The site itself comes with privacy and a view over the distant mountains. Intense night sky on clear nights. On windy days of course you’d have less protection from the winds (factor for tents). I’d choose the site again when in the area.
I had the best night camping at Soonzapunk in my van. Even without real roads to get to the land for the last 1/2 mile or so, it was so easy to find, with fun street signs standing all alone in the middle of wide open spaces. It was a little windy, but I was able to start a campfire safely and with no problem. It was absolutely silent, with gorgeous stars and an incredible sunrise. I felt safe, solitary and at peace. The land was clear and very clean, easy to access and well located just outside of Fairplay. I slept like a baby!
This camp site was private a little difficult to find because one of the side streets isn’t labeled but it is private no trees and neighbors seemed upset when we asked them if we were in the right area she made sure to let us know they weren’t happy to have people camping next door but we weren’t loud we were respectful while we were there. This land was peaceful. Some signage would be helpful to locate the property. But I would recommend if you are looking for complete privacy. We rented both lands to have more privacy.
The campsite is exactly as advertised. We truck bed camped for a night prior to hiking a collegiate peak 14er. Good spot.
Beautiful location and very quiet! Directions are easy to follow.
