Black Tree Resort

Mid September was my 3rd visit to Black Tree Resort and it was a fabulous experience as always. I didn’t think the food could get any better but somehow it was. My favorites are the Salmon, Fajitas & the Mediterranean dinners. I got a great nights sleep each night after a hot shower. It’s a treat to wake up and have a gourmet breakfast brought to your tent each morning. We did some beautiful hikes on property and on the south side of The 11 Mile Reservoir. It’s always fun to explore this amazing property by golf cart. It rained one day and we enjoyed playing board games in our toasty warm tent while listening to the rain patter outside. I’m an expert fire builder thanks to Black Tree Resort. Glamping here with friends or family is simply a joy. You can completely unplug, relax and enjoy the people your with. I will never camp any other way again!!! Rick and Janet Ramsey

We had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend and do again. A beautiful place to unwind, unplug and relax. The perfect blend of camping and amazing service. The staff are very friendly and provide wonderful, top notch service. The accommodations are very clean and comfortable. Amazing beds, private bathroom was a plus as well. So close to Pikes Peak, Eleven Mile Recreation Area, and many other beautiful parks. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience.

Wonderful two night stay. Fantastic accommodations and staff. Really nothing like made to order breakfast in bed in the great outdoors. All of the meals we chose were bountiful and delicious. The shower/bathroom accommodations are on par with any reasonably nice hotel with only a short walk. (Closer than if you were foraging your own spot in the woods, and of course you have your private electric golf cart if you prefer not to walk.) Wood for the heating stove is cut, stacked, and replenished without a word. Propane heater and fire ring are also well stocked. You won’t run out of anything but the time you get to spend there. You can literally show up with nothing but your clothes and shower kit. Give it a try.

Book a tent! Black Tree Resort was an incredible and very peaceful way to celebrate our anniversary. We booked a tent in October, so the resort was still very much open but very quiet. Tent #10 was peacefully out of view of any other tent and we felt very secluded. The tent was clean, well-stocked with plenty of firewood for the stove and blankets to keep warm. We also had a space heater in the room so although the temps outside were chilly we never got cold in the tent. Check in&out was super easy, the staff was all incredible. Pet friendly! Our dog had an absolute blast running around camp. Golf carts made it simple to get around and trips to the clean and personal bathrooms weren't as bad as we thought it might be. We were so excited to get a lockable bathroom with VERY hot water in the sink & shower. The meals were surprisingly delicious! We didn't quite know what to expect since this was a camping setup, but the food was incredible. We had the mediterranean grill one night and the salmon dinner the other night and were impressed by the flavor and large portion sizes. S'mores and cookies were a hit. We never went to bed hungry. Again, the staff is amazing and super friendly but not overbearing when delivering or picking up food or supplies. They make it luxurious but also let you enjoy the beautiful solitude. One thing to note though, if you plan on getting your lunch packed for you to take out on your adventures, there is a more limited food option available. Think deli sandwiches or PB&Js. They still stocked the lunch with fruit, veggies & hummus, and pasta salad, and the sandwiches were great, but just a heads up. Cell service is poor, which is fine if you know ahead of time. They have excellent wifi at the main cabin if needed. Plenty of hikes around in Pike National Forest, and we went fishing at the Dream Stream and Eleven Mile Reservoir (didn't have a guide, just started casting from the banks). Go up to the plateau lookout! Beautiful views of the whole resort and valley. Super fun, we will definitely be back!

Cannot say enough about our stay at Black Tree Resort. The accommodations (tents, golf cart, bathrooms) and secluded area are wonderful and provide the perfect setting to reconnect and recharge. The food is very high-quality and really makes the experience to have all meals prepared and delivered right to your campsite. The gorgeous backdrop of Pike's Peak and the surrounding Pike National Forest and easy access to all things outdoors (reservoir, fishing, endless hiking, etc.) really make this an unforgettable experience. We plan to be back!
