Published Article about living in Forbes Park written by Bruce and Carol McElmurray- Mother Earth News: August/September 2010

Forbes Park is a gated community 13 miles east of Fort Garland and 130 miles south west of Colorado Springs, CO.  It is truly a PARK with many alpine meadows, aspen, spruce and fir forests and several alpine lakes.  Malcom Forbes began developing the area in the mid 70's and was the sales agent for the properties.  The Homeowners Association maintains the roads, common areas, and a clubhouse, in a pristine manner with the goal of keeping it as a first class gated development. 

By clicking on the Forbes Park website, you can read their covenants, by-laws, access a complete knowledge base of camping, building, winter road maintenance, hunting, etc.  It is vital that you spend some time reading over that information if you are serious because many of your questions will be answered. 

While you are purchasing land from us, we do not allow building projects, living on the land, or storing of equipment, supplies, or vehicles.  We do allow short-term camping.  All county Rules and Regulations must be followed regarding camping and permitting.  If you get our permission, you can put in a driveway and/or camping pad, with a permit from the county.  There might be a few exceptions, such as keeping a fire-pit on the property which we can allow on an individual basis.
