Single Queen Glamping Tents accommodate 2 guests. Double Queen Glamping Tents accommodate 4 guests.
Maximum occupancy in each cabin / unit is enforced, and we do not allow guests to bring their own air mattresses to increase bed space.
When is check in / check out?
Check in is 4 PM. Check out time is 11 AM.
How much 'roughing it' is involved with the Glamping Tents?
Our Glamping Tents are quite comfortable with high quality mattresses, linens and pillows. You’ll also find an evaporative cooler for summer cooling, multiple power outlets, and lighting.
However, this is still camping! There is no running water and no bathroom in the tents. Our shower house with hot showers and flush toilets is open 24 hours a day, and is located from 100 to 350 feet away from the Glamping tents.
Although our climate here is fairly dry we still see some insects, so bringing along insect repellent is a good idea. Also, the pesky bugs will fly into your tent if you leave doors open. Remember, you’re still camping – just in a slightly more glamorous style than the days of old!
Is Wi-Fi available?
Absolutely. Each cabin has it’s own dedicated high speed Wi-Fi. Directions to access Wi-Fi are provided inside the cabins.
Are pets allowed?
We do not allow pets in any of our cabins or glamping tents. There is a pet boarding facility about a mile from the cabins. Eight Mile Ranch pet boarding can be reached at 719-275-2035.
How late can I check in?
Our check in office is staffed until 8 PM from Memorial Day weekend through the middle of August. The rest of the year the check in office is open until 6 PM. Please let us know at the time of making your reservation if you will need to check-in late and we will make arrangements for you.
What’s the weather like in the Royal Gorge area?
What is the smoking policy?
We do not allow smoking in any of our rentals. This includes tobacco, vapor, or any other form of smoking. Smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of the cabins to prevent smoke from entering cabins through doors / windows. Violation of this policy will incur a $250 fee. Be aware that during fire bans the only location where smoking is allowed is inside your vehicle. Please dispose of extinguished cigarette butts in the provided containers located at designated smoking areas.
Where are the nearest airports?

It’s a full-service restaurant with excellent freshly prepared meals, as well as a bar serving cocktails, wine and 16 draft beers (with an emphasis on Colorado micro-brews). A number of other restaurants are available in Canon City located 8 miles east of the cabins.
