Some places invite you to step away. Others give you the clarity to see what comes next. Perched 3,000 feet above The Broadmoor on Cheyenne Mountain, Cloud Camp offers both: a secluded, all-inclusive retreat where Colorado’s natural beauty, Broadmoor hospitality, and the freedom of being above the everyday come together.
The journey sets the tone. Guests can ascend by chauffeured luxury vehicle, guided mule ride, or scenic hike, each creating its own sense of arrival. By the time the summit comes into view, the pace has already begun to shift. The city feels distant, the air is fresh, and the distractions of daily life give way to something more deliberate.
Dining meets boardroom at Cloud Camp
Cloud Camp stands at 9,200 feet on the historic site of Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose’s Cheyenne Lodge. The Main Lodge, built on the original stone foundation, is the heart of the experience. Inspired by the great National Park lodges, it brings together soaring spaces, Western art and artifacts, two grand stone fireplaces, and a wraparound porch with panoramic views of Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs. It feels timeless, comfortable, and unmistakably connected to its setting.
That connection is especially meaningful for groups. With 22 accommodations, including 15 one- and two-bedroom cabins tucked into the forest and seven guest rooms in the Main Lodge, Cloud Camp naturally lends itself to executive retreats, board meetings, and incentive programs. A full-property buyout gives an organization the freedom to shape a private, highly customized experience around its goals, while the all-inclusive model brings accommodations, meals, activities, and meeting space into one seamless environment.
Just below the Main Lodge, The Overlook provides 1,500 square feet of dedicated meeting space for groups of 10 to 70. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a private deck keep the landscape present throughout the day, whether the room is set for a board meeting, strategic planning session, breakout, intimate reception, or private banquet. The space is fully equipped with audio and visual technology, yet its most memorable feature requires none: sweeping views that extend from Pikes Peak and the Front Range to Denver and beyond.
Play pickleball above the clouds
At Cloud Camp, however, the most productive moments are not confined to the meeting room. A conversation started around the table may continue on a guided hike. A team may reconnect over archery, pickleball, disc golf, a cooking class, or a quiet hour on the deck. Hammocks among the trees and cedar hot tubs with Rocky Mountain views offer space to pause. Evenings invite guests to gather for the flag-lowering ceremony, multi-course dinner, and stories & s’mores around the fire beneath a canopy of stars.
The communal dining experience captures what makes the retreat feel different. Meals prepared by Broadmoor chefs are generous and refined, but the real value is found in what happens around the table. Conversation becomes easier. Colleagues see one another outside their usual roles. Couples, friends, and fellow travelers share stories that linger long after the final course. Luxury here is not about excess. It is about intention, care, and the ease of knowing every detail has been considered.
Cloud Camp’s recognition on Forbes Travel Guide’s 2025 Edge List reflects that singular quality. The distinction celebrates destinations that push the boundaries of guest experience, and Cloud Camp does so without losing the warmth and authenticity at the center of The Broadmoor’s hospitality. It is secluded without feeling inaccessible, adventurous without sacrificing comfort, and polished without losing its sense of place.
Perhaps that is why time here feels transformative. The view shifts with the light and weather, but the deeper change often happens within the people who come to experience it. Teams return with stronger connections and fresh thinking. Top performers leave with the memory of being genuinely rewarded. Couples and friends rediscover the pleasure of time without distraction.
High above Colorado Springs, Cloud Camp creates room for something increasingly rare: the chance to be fully present. Whether the purpose is to align a leadership team, celebrate achievement, reconnect with someone important, or simply breathe deeply and look beyond the horizon, the experience stays with you long after you return to the office—reminding you that a meeting can be more than time away from work; it can be the moment that changes what comes next. https://www.broadmoor.com/wilderness-retreats/cloud-camp
