Bathrooms: excellent
Site: super clean
Bears: totally there and will get into any unlocked vehicles including campers. My husband forgot to lock his truck and we woke up to all the doors open and no crumbs left in the truck. It could’ve been way worse. My car had a bear paw mark on it but it was locked so they were SOL.

We had a 21' tent trailer on Loop F, site 49. This area is removed from the reservoir camp loops and is very quiet and relaxing. Fishing in the Frying Pan River is available on the East side of the loop and kayak, paddle board, fishing and canoeing are all within 5 minutes at Chandler Reservoir. The campground is managed by American Land and Leisure, the bathrooms are very clean and well-maintained, the grounds are mowed and trimmed. The campground offers easy access to hiking and 4-wheel trails. Unlicensed ATVs are not allowed. The area is very busy on weekends but offers good access during the week.

This is definitely the best spot in Loop A. 100ft away from the resevoir, a slight walk from the parking lot so you're not seeing cars, a direct path to the water/dam...we loved this spot. Would absolutely pick again. Only downfall was no trees around the picnic table so bring a canopy.

Quiet and well maintained. Our site was large, private, by the river and near the restrooms. No electric hookups, no cell or internet service and we loved it. There is no longer any parking near the reservoir where you don’t have to walk up an incline. I miss this because of physical limitations (sad). We had the best camp hosts!
