Camped here with a friend during a cross-country road trip in September 2020. Booked via HipCamp and had a wonderful experience. It was sad to hear that the diner burnt down the next month, but looks like it is being re-built and camping is still offered.

We were looking for a simple, quiet, and safe place to camp on our way from Utah to Denver. There are rave reviews on HipCamp and loved the idea of staying near an organic pickle farm! Plus, this place offered showers, a toilet, and a highly rated diner.

It was after dark when we arrived and no one was inside the diner, which was a little spooky in such a small town. Brian arrived shortly to greet us and was incredibly kind, even asking if we wanted any snacks from the closed diner. He was willing to make us milkshakes! We politely declined, and he brought out some pickles and flavored waters inside (so kind).

We set up camp and slept well. It was very quiet and felt like a safe area for two female travelers. The next morning we utilized the shower and bathrooms, which were clean. The shower is on an enclosed deck, so it was a little chilly but the water was nice and hot. There was a beautiful view and a nice grassy area for my dog to run around before we left.

The diner didn't open until after we left but based on the rave reviews and Brian's personality I imagine it's a great place to dine. Would definitely return to try it out and camp again.

Brian the owner, is so sweet and caring with his customers making sure their order is to perfect. The shake flavors are spot on and so creative. Tried the salmon burger and I love my fish but never had it in the form it was presented in. Exceeded expectations second visit around. Thank you! Support local. 😊☺️

Great place for a burger and fries. Navajo Taco, BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwhich, shakes and more! Owners are super nice. Ask for a sample of their steak shake.

Went when Bent Pickle produce took over. Once inside pickles, pickles everywhere. we took a detour on our road trip and found this place gladly by accident, yes it's rough looking on the outside but the food was well worth the gamble. The food was fresh and tasty and the shakes were creative and delicious! Had a FULLY loaded navajo taco, cheeseburger with huge beef patty, fresh handcut fries and tried the PICKLE milkshake (yes, pickles and ice cream work!) and pineapple habanero milkshake, all of which were very tasty and left us very satisfied. The best part of the meal however, was the lovely customer service and charm radiating off the owners which made you feel very welcome and very well taken care of, your no outsider here. A small town gem found in the unlikeliest place but will definitely be on my roadtrip favorites. we also found hidden campgrounds along this route and can't wait for another PICKLE milkshake accompanied by the beautiful scenery along the route.

The food here is amazing and the milkshakes are bomb the sampler that the owner gave me was delicious when I go through collbran I will visit every time I might go there just to eat once in a while.
