Camping | We Are Grace

Come for the whole weekend or join us for a day!

This will be a great time to spend time together and get to know your GRACE family better while we enjoy God's beautiful creation!

A huge "THANK YOU!!" to Ed and Michelle Ford for being generous and inviting the Church to use their land for our campout!

WHEN:

We plan to begin arriving on August 1st and enjoying ourselves in the mountains until the late afternoon on Sunday, August 4th

WHERE: 8014 Manhattan Rd, Red Feather Lakes, CO 80545
(map & directions below!)

We will be on the Ford's private property in Red Feathers! It is a beautiful location close to lakes and many places to hike, take a walk, and chill around the campfire! We will be at 8640 ft elevation. Plenty of Space to park RVs and set up tents!

THE DRIVE:

The drive is easy on well-maintained roads (some dirt) and we'll only be 2 hours away!

GOOD TO KNOW:

We will be in Bear, Deer, Elk, Moose, and Mountain Lion areas. [Ed has seen many a moose and deer around his land and there is a bear that likes the grease trap on his grill in the springtime!]
You are responsible for your own family's meals.
There will be no running water/RV hookups so please keep that in mind.
Cars are asked to be parked by the restroom in the gravel “parking lot”!
(once unloaded)
There is a porta-potty-type restroom on the property.

PACKING ITEMS TO REMEMBER:

Basics include a tent or RV, water, lantern or flashlight, sleeping bags, and food/snacks for your family. Other packing items to keep in mind are bug spray, chairs, blankets, pillows, games, cooler, camera, sunscreen, etc.

THINGS TO DO:

Fellowship
Hiking (National Forest right next to the campsite!)
Star gazing
Nature walks
Kayaks, canoes, or floating tubes are able to be put on Molly Lake which can be accessed by hiking through Ed's land for about a mile and a half or by driving/walking a road and over a hill to the lake.
You can swim in Molly Lake but it will be cold!
Fishing is open at Molly Lake (we aren't 100% sure there are fish here) or at the Bellaire Lake which is down the road from the campsite. Bellaire Lake is a cold water lake that has $ 5-day pass fee and has paved sidewalks, picnic grills, and lots of fish(We saw a ton jumping when we checked it out!)

How to get there!

Go north on 1-25 to Owl Canyon RD. West (Exit 281) for about 6.5 miles
At the round-a-bout go north towards 287 (70 E) for about 5 miles
At 287 go right (North) to the Forks at Livermore (74 E) about 3.5 miles
Stay on 74 E for about 23 miles
Turn south on Manhattan RD (The Potbelly Restaurant is across the street. It is a red building. )
After 1.8 miles turn left through the decorative metal gates with a bear design.
Bear right at the fork and again at the gate!
Proceed to the drive and bear right to the clearing!
[The restrooms and a gravel parking lot are about halfway up the drive. Cars can be parked here once unloaded! ]
