For those who seek solitude, serenity, and the sound of water nearby, our Primitive Creek Tent Sites offer one of the most peaceful camping experiences in Colorado. Tucked along the banks of a quiet creek and thoughtfully removed from the RV areas, these secluded sites let you fully immerse in the natural rhythm of the Upper Arkansas River Valley.

Wake up to the gurgle of flowing water and the glow of morning light on the mountains. Lace up your boots or hop on your bike and head straight from your site to the surrounding trail network. Whether your day takes you to a high alpine lake, through winding singletrack, or into downtown Salida for a post-adventure pint, you’ll return to a site that’s truly your own.

There’s no power here—just nature, simplicity, and the freedom to live in the moment. It’s camping the way it’s meant to be, with the added benefit of being part of the A-Lodge community: a place where adventurers connect, stories are shared, and the wild feels like home.
