Dunton River Camp

Cresto Ranch, as we call it, was a former cattle ranch from the late 1800's. The original farmhouse from the time sits in its original location about 20 feet from the West Fork of the Dolores River and on approximately 500 acres of amazing fields, meadows and forest. A large part of the land is still used for free range cattle grazing, but we have kept the area where the tents and the farmhouse are protected. We thought this property was perfectly suited to a summer only tented camp. We have a total of 8 tents, prospecter / safari style, sitting on a 640 square foot wooden platform anchored to the bedrock. Each tents has all the amenities you would expect in a luxury hotel, however you are in an actual (albeit very large) tent. You even have your own bathroom with a 6 footer soaker tub with shower and on-demand hot water, double vanities and even towel warmers which make getting out of the tub so much more relaxing. Each tent comes with your own two private mountain bikes where you can explore the trails or just bike on the road, or you can go on amazing hikes from the property or drive to local trail heads. The thought was that you could be totally immersed in nature, get "dirty", disconnect from the hustle and bustle of your regular life, but still be able to freshen up, have a nice cocktail by the fire-pit at the farmhouse and enjoy a wonderful dinner with friends or newly made friends. We feel this is the best of both worlds!
