He was an engineer\. \*\*Please note that the GPS will take you 300 feet away from my property, please follow my clear instructions that are sent in your welcome email\. There is signage that you can also follow\. \*\* The plan was to use this property as summer grazing for his cattle\. The cattle were wintered at the other ranch about 10 miles away, which was homesteaded by my great grandfather\. Because my grandfather could survey, he made sure the property lines zigzaged up the valley so the small creek was in the middle to provide water for the animals\. He chose well\. It is a beautiful, quiet place with elk, deer and wild turkeys\. There are tons of wild flowers in the summer\. Columbines, the Colorado state flower, wild roses, paintbrushes and lots of wild chokecherries\. With nice views of nearby mountains, open pastures, evergreen forests and aspen groves, it looks like it did 100 years ago\. Plus, there are a couple of ponds for your dogs to cool off in\. Since the first cattle, the ranch has also been home to goats, chickens, horses, and now more goats, alpacas and llamas\. And of course the Great Pyrenees ranch dogs\. I had a house built a few years ago and live on the property full time\. The ranch is surrounded by Pike National Forest with the Colorado Trail connecting the property in a number of places\. Some of the highest ranked mountain bike trails are nearby\. There are lots of places on and off the property to hike, mountain bike and ride your horse\. On a clear night you can see thousands of stars and hear coyotes howl\. For a drone video of the ranch check out: YouTube's Midsummer 2020 Flyover\. Elevation 8,000 feet, Average Summer Temperatures: Days 60\-80 f, Nights 45\-60 f, Sunshine Average 73\-80%, Colorado Trail Segment 3, USGS Maps: Windy Peak; Green Mountain quadrangles\. This is the official info\. Basically, the weather is usually similar to the Denver area \- just 10 degrees cooler\. About 8 miles away is the small town of Bailey\. It has just about everything you might need: small grocery store, coffee shops, gas, laundry, a dollar store, hardware store, camping and sports equipment, brew pub, winery, a few restaurants, potable water station and more\. ## Key facts - Coordinates: 39.34645, -105.38089 ## Address Bailey, CO, US ## Amenities - A\_frame - Biking - Creek - Drinking\_water - Drive In - Drive\_in - Equestrian - Farm - Fire\_pit - Fires - Firewood - Fishing - Forest - Group\_site - Hiking - Hill - Horseback Riding - Horseback\_riding - Hot\_showers - Kayaking - Lake - Laundry - Lodge - Lodging - Meadow - Mountain - Mountain\_biking - Paddling - Picnic Table - Picnic\_table - Playground - Potable Water - Prairie - Primitive - River - Showers - Stargazing - Stream - Swimming - Swimming\_pool - Tent - Tent\_camping - Toilets - Valley - Vineyard - Wildlife Watching - Wildlife\_viewing ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/rustic-creek-ranch-bailey-co.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/rustic-creek-ranch-bailey-co", "name": "Rustic Creek Ranch", "description": "The 160 acre ranch was homesteaded by my grandfather over 100 years ago.

The spot fit 2 6 person tents, 2 suvs and a 10x10 canopy comfortably. This spot has a nice short but steep path that goes around the rock formation so nice spot to explore around. Debbie came around once to check on us as she drove around the property. The porta-potty was close to the site and was checked daily, was very clean.
