One of the things we heard a lot before opening up for camping is why would someone pay when they can go to BLM land for free. We had questioned the same thing, we had heard stories about camping at some BLM lands, but never had experienced it ourselves.
After this last weekend we now understand why some rather pay. Our place isn’t much different than BLM, you can hike for miles, beautiful views, sunsets, sunrises over the mountains, very little light pollution which makes sky viewing beyond your beliefs. But we also offer security, respect, not going to walk through your campsite without permission. We offer a few amenities, a toilet and hopefully the shower soon. You can socialize or stay to yourself, you can have food delivered to your site (the menu can be found on the website), we also have the new miniature Dusty Nail General Store which offers home made wash cloths, art prints and originals, build your own charm jewelry, “I survived music in the desert” t shirts, schedule a henna tattoo, tours of the mesa for those that might not be able to hike it, oh and you get a cell signal. These few things are what makes the difference and we feel security, respect and cell signal is the main reason. These are things we lacked while camping on BLM land this last weekend. We had to make our own security..
We like to hear from you, are there more we can offer that would make your stay more comfortable?
We took a break for a few days, went camping and closed down Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. It may sound weird to some as we live full time in an RV and off-grid, yet go camping. But we still love tent camping usually in places RVs can’t get into! But now we are home refreshed but look forward to sleeping in our bed. I think the dogs will enjoy a good sleep as they are exhausted.
The April Fool’s Open Mic was fun, the food was good, the goats and mini calves were so cute, we had good singing, poetry, art! Dusty Nails General Store had a good opening. We also added hand made washclothes to the list of products at the store! We thank everyone that came out!
