"Glamping" on private property, the best relationship between GUEST and HOST in the travel market. You can leave all your camping gear at home...and your hosts will treat you like royalty. This page shows you how this perfect relationship works.
This one's a warning and an opportunity in the same story. A glamping operator I know built an incredible business — two units, three years, income most people don't hit with ten. Then a neighbor complained, the county stepped in, and it came out the permits weren't fully squared away. Now he's folding and the property's headed to market.
I walk through what went wrong, why permitting has to come before you ever open the gate, and why this particular property might still be a serious opportunity for the right buyer — one who's willing to do it right from day one.
If you're developing land for glamping or thinking about it, this is exactly the kind of lesson I want you to learn from someone else's property instead of your own. Join the conversation and the deal-flow discussion in my free Your Land Is Gold community — link below.
Message me if you're interested. Better yet, join Skool.com/glamping and talk with the owner personally. Seriously, this is a gold mine opportunity.
Mark, one of our favorite guests, spent the week with us visiting his military son — touring the area and fishing at Monument Lake, just upstream from Monument Glamping.
Here's what he pulled out of the water. Take a guess at the species, size, and weight in the comments — we're curious too.
If your next trip includes visiting family, exploring Colorado, or just a quiet private-property escape with a fishing pole in the truck, we'd love to host you.

This week I watched my second full class of the Gold Rush Developer Program graduate — and the room, even online, was full.
Eight weeks. Four pillars. Land developers from all over the country, some buying their first piece of land, some already operating and pushing to the next level. Watching people go from "I think I want to do this" to actually having a plan, a permit strategy, and momentum — that's the whole point of building this program.
This is Part 1 of a two-part release. Tomorrow I'm dropping Part 2, and I'm revealing who gave the commencement address. It's someone you'll recognize.
If you're on the fence about whether glamping development is something you could actually pull off — this is what it looks like on the other side of doing the work.
This week's bedtime read at our house: Grandma Gloria Goes Glamping. Glamping has clearly gone mainstream enough to become a children's book — and it made me think about all the grandparents who book a night with us just to give their grandkids an easy version of the outdoors.
Monument Glamping is private-property glamping in Monument, Colorado — real beds, private hot tubs, fire pits, creekside quiet. Bring the whole family. Just show up.

I drove to the Pikes Peak summit this week — one of only two drivable fourteeners in Colorado, and a short trip from our property in Monument, Colorado.
In this one, I'm talking about why that proximity matters more than people give it credit for when they're evaluating land for a glamping or outdoor hospitality business. A beautiful property is great. A beautiful property near something guests already want to drive to is a completely different business.
If you're developing land for hospitality, this is a factor worth weighing as heavily as the property itself.

This weekend my youngest daughter gets married at a beautiful property ten minutes from us — and Monument Glamping is booked solid with regular guests at the same time.
This video is really about Monument, Colorado. The creek that runs cool on hot summer days. The trails minutes from our gate. The neighboring businesses and venues we're proud to be friends with. Monument Glamping is one part of a genuinely great place to spend a weekend.
We're private-property glamping — luxury safari tents and container homes on six creekside acres, each with a real bed, a private deck, a private hot tub, and a private fire pit. Not a campground. Not a resort. Your own space.
We don't host weddings. We're where you go after one.

Our daughter gets married next month, and her friends chose to throw her bridal shower right here at Monument Glamping. Floral garlands on the pergola, a BRIDE banner on the fence, the hot tub going, and a DIY craft table full of laughter — all inside one of our own tents.

Rain this week knocked out four reservations at Monument Glamping. I refunded all of it — no retainer, no partial credit, over $1,000 gone.
In this one, I break down why we built our business around a full-refund guarantee when most operators in this space (Airbnbs, campgrounds, resorts) hold some kind of retainer. It's not about being generous — it's about removing every reason a guest hesitates to book an outdoor stay they can't control the weather on.
We talk numbers, guest psychology, and why the operators who win long-term aren't always the ones protecting every dollar on every cancellation.

Eight units. One property. Six acres. Every number here is gross revenue, not net — I'm not going to dress it up.
If you own land or run a glamping operation, I want to hear what you're doing on your property to close out the summer. Tell me in the comments.
