Trip Report: Bishops Castle in our VW Bus

Description: Bishop’s Castle is entirely built by one man, Jim Bishop, over the course of his lifetime. A quirky, intricate maze of stunning DIY artwork, engineering and imagination. This roadside Southern Colorado attraction used to be little-known. Today, likely made more infamous through Instagram, Bishop’s castle is widely known and visited. Watch your step, hang on and leave the pets in the car.

Length: A few hours

Favorite memory: We drove our 1974 VW Joy Bus to visit Bishop’s Castle after an overnight in Hartsel, CO. Jim Bishop himself was onsite three different times we’ve visited. Always leave a donation. Be generous.

Season: Anytime

Keep going-

Bishops Castle fire breathing dragon
Nearing the top of Bishop’s Castle, the ironwork continues and so does the exposure.
Cathedral style enormity and stain glass windows meets Tim Burton.
Bishop’s Castle is 100% donation dependent. Be respectful. Be kind. Be generous.
