Honoring Legacy, Embracing the Future at 5 Branches Camper Park

Taking over ownership of my family’s summer campground—5 Branches Camper Park—is one of the most meaningful (and complex!) transitions of my life. My parents poured nearly 30 years into building a "home" where families come to slow down, connect, and feel at home in the mountains. 

It’s a balancing act—honoring their legacy while also shepherding the campground into a new exciting chapter. I’m working on modernizing where it makes sense, while holding tight to the things that matter most: the feeling of community, the power of connection, the importance of family and friendship.

This place has always been about more than a vacation spot—it’s a place where memories are made. And I’m proud to keep it that way, as a small, locally-owned Southwest Colorado business committed to staying rooted in what makes it special.

Here’s to blending past and future, and keeping 5 Branches a family-owned campground for generations to come. www.5branches.com
