Description

One of the most spectacular 27 acres of lakefront and riverfront land in Southwest Colorado; this property offers approximately 1800 feet of Lake Vallecito shoreline, and Pine River water frontage and borders over 3 million acres of the San Juan National Forest. Five Branches Camper Park and Campground is in its 20th year of operation and has a long list of loyal campers who come back year after year, from all over the country to enjoy this incredible setting. Vallecito is Spanish for “Little Valley” and became the name of Lake Vallecito, which was completed in the 1940’s to provide flood protection and irrigation to the Pine Valley. Today, in addition to helping scores of farmers and ranchers, the Lake provides endless recreational activities, which include motor boating, water skiing and fishing. With over 22 miles of shoreline, you can be sure that the lake will never feel crowded. Five Branches Camper Park includes 93 RV sites, each with 30 amp electrical service. Sites can accommodate RV’s up to 40 feet with a few sites which will allow up to 45 feet long. Six cottages (park models) offer a very nice option to those who don't bring their own camper or who do not want to sleep in a tent. Each cottage includes a living room, eating area, 1 bedroom, bathroom, loft sleeping area and a kitchen area with sink, range/oven, and min fridge. Ten tent sites sit along the Pine River, are very popular with guests and avid fishermen. Two group tent sites allow for large family reunions. At the center of the campground you will be drawn to the quaint general store, which is housed in one of the original camp buildings. The general store is the lifeblood of the community where you will find campers gathering around the fire pit for their morning coffee. This is the heart of this campground, which is known for its family atmosphere and famous pancake breakfasts. A neat and clean bathhouse provides weary campers with five men’s and five women’s shower stalls. The onsite laundromat includes eight washing machines and eight dryers to make laundry very easy for guests. The private residence provides the owner/operator comfortable accommodations and the convenience of being onsite at all times. In addition to the lake and river access, this property borders approximately 700 feet of National Forest with exceptional access to hiking and horseback riding on millions of acres of land. Five Branches Camper Park is a destination in itself, located in the Four Corners area, just 45 minutes from Durango or Bayfield and within a day’s drive from Denver, Colorado Springs, Albuquerque and Phoenix. if you don't have much experience running a campground, the owners are willing to train for up to 1 season. This property is also available for $1.8 million without the business, park models or personal property, and could be used as a private home-site offering spectacular lake and mountain views, plenty of fishing in your own backyard and a beautiful area for horses. A property of this size, that combines river, lake and national forest access is extremely rare in Southwest Colorado. Truly, a one-of-a-kind property that only becomes available once in a lifetime.
