We have two dry camping spaces available during the fall hunting season, approximately September 1 to November 30. Review the information on the Neighborhood, Region, and Policies pages. The same rules apply to our RV spaces, with the additional rules detailed below.

The access road has steep grades, both uphill and downhill. Snow and ice are likely throughout the fall into winter. You must have a four-wheel-drive vehicle with chains. You should bring chains for your trailer, too. Check the weather forecast, keeping in mind that our camp is located at over a mile high, and call us for current conditions before you leave home.

• Bow hunting season.
• Special rifle season.
• Regular rifle season.
• All vehicles must carry axe, bucket, and shovel.
• No hunting allowed on camp property.

We are not a law enforcement agency, but we are on friendly terms with the local game wardens. Some of our neighbors are sworn officers, and we expect lawful behavior of our guests. We don't look the other way. If we see illegal activities, we will report it.

The camp is surrounded by private property and occupied residences, so sighting-in, target practice, and plinking are not allowed in camp.

Non-game animals, such as rabbits, rock chucks, coyotes, and foxes den in or near the camp. It is not our intention to protect these animals, but discharge of firearms in and around camp is not allowed.

Both National Forest land and state forest land is located nearby. Ask us for advice on accessibility and permitted activities.

To reserve one of our spaces for your fall hunt:
You must provide at least three references, none of them relatives. We will call all your references. Two references must be camp hosts or resort operators where you have stayed in the last two years. To secure your reservation, you must present a valid credit card, on which we will place funds on hold, or cash, for 50% of the fees. Your reservation can be canceled without penalty up to 90 days in advance. If you wish to cancel within 90 days of your planned stay, you forfeit your deposit.

Maximum stay might be affected by weather and season dates. Minimum stay is two nights. Rate is $100 per night, Maximum stay is seven nights, $600.

Our opening and closing dates can vary from year to year. We usually open just before the bow season and close after the Thanksgiving weekend. Damage deposit is $200. Check in no earlier than 2:00 PM. No check-ins after dark! When you check in, you will be asked to schedule your departure. Check out no later than 10:00 AM. We will verify that you are leaving your campsite and surrounding area in the same condition it was at your arrival. At that time, we will refund your damage deposit. We accept VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, and cash. Rates are subject to change, and include applicable taxes.

There are several roads and routes that might get you to Mile High RV Park, but you should use the basic directions given on the Region page. After descending the steep grade, do not turn left on Upper Greyson Creek Road, but continue across the creek and up the steep grade to the Yahshua's Way sign. Turn left and drive down to the campground.
