*WiFi/Internet: Please note that while there is internet for the campground, it is satellite-based, and the main hub/router is located in the community center. Therefore, due to signal strength variations at different times, the WiFi/Internet signal in the unit is not guaranteed, and you may need to go to the community center for a signal.
The Neighborhood:
When you stay in Grant, Colorado, you are choosing a pristine, crowd-free alpine valley that serves as the southern entrance to the world-renowned Guanella Pass Scenic Byway. Traversing both the Pike and Arapaho National Forests, this location offers an authentic Rocky Mountain vacation experience. Located just 50 miles southwest of Denver, it provides the perfect balance: a secluded, off-the-grid feel with effortless highway access to Colorado’s best high-country destinations.
Unrivaled Access to Outdoor Recreation:
- Hiking & 14ers: Lace up your boots for world-class trekking. You are minutes from top trailheads, including the jagged peaks of Mount Bierstadt and the rolling meadows of Kenosha Pass (just 6 miles west), which draws travelers from all over the world for its breathtaking, gold-dusted autumn aspens.
- Fishing & Wildlife Exploration: Cast a line into the gold-medal trout waters of the South Platte River or watch for resident elk, bighorn sheep, and moose wandering through the willow marshes.
