The Aspen Glen - Memories are made here!

Are you ready for something different? Need to simplify things? Come to the mountains where you’ll see how easy it is to unwind and put things in perspective in our quiet wooded glen.

Enjoy camping without the fuss! Our comfortable camper in the woods is located near Lake George, Colorado, on a 17-acre property that the owners have called home for over 30 years. Surrounded on three sides by the Pike National Forest, you’ll enjoy seclusion and private access to miles of hiking and ATV trails. The location and amenities also make for an excellent base camp for your hunting and fishing adventures. The camper is nestled in the trees, well away from the main house, adjacent to the national forest. Once booked, you will be provided with contact information for the owners who will personally reach out to you and answer any questions before and during your stay.

Cozy and fully equipped, the professionally decorated 32-foot Dutchman Coleman camper has a private bedroom with a queen size bed; bathroom with shower and small tub; kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, and refrigerator; and living area with 2 comfy swivel chairs and a queen sleeper sofa. An additional full-size bed can be made in the banquette dining area, accommodating up to 6 guests in total. Everything you need is already here: dishes, utensils, cookware, linens, and plenty of music CD and DVD video options, as well as Wi-Fi and a smart TV for streaming.

So, whether you want to while away the afternoon in the hammock or explore the unmatched beauty of our area, Aspen Glen is yours to experience and enjoy!
