Stay with us at Deer Valley Ranch

The Centennial Hall and Lodge is where we’ll be hosting our BBQ Before “I Do,” reception, and Silent Disco After Party. The ceremony is just a few minutes’ walk from the Lodge to the Cliffs. This is where we’d love to have you stay with us! We’ve reserved all lodge rooms (private, hotel-style rooms) and cabins through March 2026 for our family and friends to book. We chose this venue so we could have everyone near and dear to us together for the celebration. There are 10 lodge rooms and several cabins available for booking. A minimum two-night stay is required if these accommodations are preferred. Pricing will vary, and reservations must be made directly with the venue by calling 719-395-2353. Reservations can only be made by *phone*, as online booking has been disabled for the dates around the celebration to reserve availability exclusively for wedding guests. Just let them know it’s the Bartone/Dublin Wedding on July 1st. Lodge rooms and cabins will be held for our wedding guests through March 2026, after which they will be released to the public. Availability is first come, first serve!

Discount Code - Just mention it's for July 1st Wedding / Bartone Wedding

Deer Valley Ranch -- Camping On-site!

We also have camping options available, including car and RV sites. RV sites are extremely limited (five or fewer), while ground (tent)/car camping is more abundant. The camp spots here are "primitive" style camping meaning there are no official bathrooms and very "traditional camping spots" -- it's an extremely rocky sort of terrain but we will have a port-a-potty for all campers from Monday to Thursday for your bio needs. If you are *CAMPING* whether via RV or car/tent camping, please call 719-395-2353 to let them know prior to arrival. They would like to know who is camping on property no later than Friday, June 26th, 2026. The venue will be guiding you to the designated camping zones. The campsite(s) are 0.6 miles from the Lodge area for activities. We recommend taking the Co Rd 162 traveling to and from your campsite. If you have a bike, we encourage bringing that along as well as an easy transportation option for all the festivities! PSA: BRING HEADLAMPS! For the wedding ceremony, a shuttle will be traveling to the DVR-West campsites for pickup at 2pm. If you would like to avoid that 0.6 mile walk to the ceremony on day of wedding, we encourage you to be ready to go for this service at 2pm. There is additional, more comfortable camping you can find along Co Rd 162, see below for more details. Please let either the bride or groom know if you plan to camp with us at Deer Valley Ranch. There is no cost for camping at Deer Valley Ranch!

Chalk Lake Campground - Paid Camping $25

This is right near Deer Valley Ranch! Yes, there is a camping fee; however, these are much more traditional camping spots (tent platform, fire ring, picnic table, vault toilets). If you prefer this paid option due to ease, please note that this location is quite busy during summer and in advance reservations are encouraged!
