The campground is heavily used. Our campsite had human feces scatter about with toilet paper about 15 yards from the fire ring. We moved sites. The host is very pleasant and tries to accommodate everyone’s needs as much as possible. Gorgeous area with some nice hikes and wild flowers. It’s a shame too many people are not good campers. Keep Colorado beautiful and wild people!
