A Colorado company is on a mission to reimagine the country’s campgrounds and it’s starting by building tent- and trailer-friendly accommodations near the state’s national parks.

Ramble opened its first campground in southwest Colorado near the Great Sand Dune National Park. Its second opens spring 2024 in Cortez, near Mesa Verde National Park, before the company plans an expansion blitz throughout the U.S. in Alamosa. It features 25 camping sites each equipped with amenities like a smokeless fire pit, chairs, and a built-in camp stove.

Inspired by the likes of Disney World, Oesterle aims to standardize Ramble campgrounds and their amenities so travelers know what to expect every time they stay there, no matter which location they visit. He does so through partnerships with “It’s kind of a combination of trying to create feeling you have when you’re car camping on BLM or Forest Service land where you have lots of space, but then to give you the amenities to make the trip successful, particularly if you’re with a group or with kids or folks where it can be intimidating just to have your tent, your car or your van and nothing else,” he said.

Ramble opened its first campground in southwest Colorado near the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Each site comes outfitted with a fire pit and chairs, so campers don't need to bring their own. Ramble is preparing to wrap up “a substantial fundraising round” to bring its aspirations to fruition. Based on the popularity of camping, especially during and after the pandemic, Oesterle is confident right now is the time to reinvent the beloved pastime.
