Love camping there before launching a trip down the Upper C! Too bad we can't tie up the raft at sites 9 - 12, but the ban is understandable. One minor gripe: Grand County needs to grade CR 106 more often as the washboards get really rough.

We stayed in site #13 with our 27' trailer. Easy and fairly level site that parks along the road (no backing in). Beautiful site with a view of the river. Access to water at the entry of the area was closed due to upgrades being done which wasn't a big deal for us, but if tent campers don't haul in their own water it could be an issue.

Pleasant & much cooler weather than Texas. We stayed at site #1, back-in, close to the lake. Only stayed 1 nite. Camp Host was very friendly & helpful. We would stay again, even if for a shirt visit.

Not having water and no hope of it getting replaced this season was very disappointing! Camp host Barb was great! She controls the madness!!
