Off-Leash Area
Description
It is cooler than Grand Junction, with breezes and shade trees with a year round creek. Located on the side of Grand Mesa near small towns of Mesa and Molina. Grand Junction prices for gas and food are much cheaper than other areas around.
House Rules
Common courtesy and common sense covers 95% of it. If the fire danger is high, no open fires. There are black bears, elk, deer, moose, turkey, hawks, owls, cows, etc. and the creek so children, animals, and stupid people are at risk. There is an outhouse available (keep it clean). Take your garbage with you. Atleast one night, stay awake long enough to look up and see the incredible stars. Fall asleep listening to the creek.
Remember we are 7500 feet and the Mesa 10,000, so you better quit smoking, start exercising, begin an iron supplement, etc. Hospital trips for Colorado visitors that over-estimate their fitness and the altitude is common, so do some reading/research on preparation. Just the dryness of Colorado causes dehydration if you do not keep up with drinking fluids.
Access Road Conditions
Camping site is large.... So it will accommodate friends and family traveling together with more than 1 motorhome, travel trailer or tent.
Pull thru parking is on one site only, but larger RVs will find the pull in ( and backup) site easier than the circular drive thru site. After you pull into the gate, stop and walk around to see what is best for you. You will be climbing to 7500 feet on public paved roads, until the last 2 miles when it becomes gravel, then 1/4 mile on a gravel private road. Snow in winter will make it difficult. I installed double 10 feet, gray gates, so there has been no problem turning into the RV site so far.
There is NO cell service here. By the entrance to the private rd, weak cell service, down by KE rd there is good signal. Take notes or do screen save of the detailed directions by map/gps.
Tow Vehicle Parking Details
the RV site is one acre, so parking is not an issue.

Beautiful and quiet (except for the welcome creek)
RVers with larger trailers should pull through the gate and go right but stop short of going down the hill. Get out and walk the site to evaluate ability to get back out. We to a 32' Airstream (low clearance) and had to take 3 tries to get back up the hill in 4x4n low. Had to drag rear end of trailer through the gravel with all 4 tires leaving the ground at one point. Could have backed out the way we came in but would have been tricky and the rear end would have bottomed out a bit. Otherwise a lovely retreat.

Peaceful Oasis
Dale and Maggie were thoughtful hosts. I had a very peaceful retreat on this little slice of heaven. I loved listening to the creek from my hammock and I slept the best I have in a long time. The nearby Grand Mesa is wonderful haven of beautiful lakes and hiking trails.

Mesa stay
Absolutely loved this place. Flowing creek ran along campsite and we slept with RV doors open each night. Loved the remoteness of the site. Could not ask for a better Host. Great people. Thanks so much!!

Lovely campsite by the creek
Beautiful place to camp. Mountain view and bubbling creek. We parked on the lower area by the creek, it worked well to back the trailer down the rounded driveway. We visited Grand Mesa and biked in Grand Junction. Directions are very good on the site, but GPS tried to take us down a gated road. No Verizon signal. Lovely campsite!

Beautiful area
Beautiful camping area along a stream. Campsite is a little tight for a 40 foot motorhome but doable. The area is a little remote for a overnight and a plan to stay a few days seems more appropriate. Dale and his wife came and said hello and they seemed very nice.

Beautiful
I wish I could have stayed longer... I needed cell service for work. Very peaceful, private and the stream was beautiful. Thank you!

It dont get any better
Our host was super helpful as my wife was suffering some altitude sickness. Host went out of their way to help us through this time. The spot on the river was very private and relaxing. I hope we get to visit this retreat again in the future
