Kampa Lampa

John and Kathy Haas transformed a 2021 Colorado River property in De Beque into Kampa Lampa, a basecamp for overnight rafting, camping, and glamping. The operation distinguishes itself by offering raft-in or drive-in options, allowing guests to choose between launching directly from the river or arriving by vehicle. Services include boat, kayak, and tube rentals available through Adventure Outdoors at the Parachute put-in, along with shuttle service that transports vehicles from Parachute to the De Beque takeout for $25. To simplify the experience, the business handles river meal preparation, providing gourmet ingredients ready for guests to cook upon arrival. De Beque, situated off Interstate 70, serves as a gateway to extensive mountain biking trails near Fruita and the Grand Mesa, while nearby Palisade offers renowned vineyard tours. The property also sits within a region known for one of the state’s largest wild horse populations, adding a unique backdrop to the outdoor adventure.
