Beautiful campground adjacent to the Buff Creek trail system. Disappointing that there was no camp host to help manage issues like the people who ran their generator all night...

The site I had was near the camp host. I was annoyed by the barking or the dog there and the noise of the gas powered generator that ran all evening until quiet time at 10 pm.

Overall, very good experience. The host was friendly and energetic, which is always appreciated. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. The reserved sites on the west end 4, 5, 6 7 etc) are level and easy to set up. Some of the sites on the east end are really washed out and really tough to level a camper or pop-up.
If you are going to camp, I highly recommend the sites on the outer-ring, which have incredible access to the forest and areas for kids to explore and play.
Absolutely amazing access to the Colorado Trail and bike paths. 5 stars for MTB enjoyment.
I gave 4 stars b/c no water always makes camping more challenging.
