“I’m disappointed beyond words that the originally planned CannaCamp Bud+Breakfast location did not work out to our standards,” MaryJane Group CEO Joel Schneider said in a release. “We’ve dedicated enormous amounts of time, resources and money to the CannaCamp Bud+Breakfast concept; but sadly, our land partners failed to secure the 170-acre ranch in Durango we had been promised.”
in early June as a resort located on a 170-acre stretch of wilderness near Durango. Guests paying $395 per night, with a three-night minimum, could smoke marijuana on their luxurious cabins’ front porches when they weren’t hiking or doing yoga, Schneider promised at the time.
The 420-friendly news of CannaCamp immediately went viral, and it wasn’t long before ” on his late-night show. But soon after the buzz around CannaCamp picked up, that CannaCamp didn’t have an actual ranch all its own.
The MaryJane Group had formed a partnership with Silverton resident Vanessa Roberts, a member of the family that had owned partner site Wilderness Trails Ranch in Bayfield for more than 45 years. But , and even though the MaryJane Group had been assured that CannaCamp would still work under the guidance of the ranch’s new owners, that never panned out.
