This is a very nice campground. The sites are large and in some loops have enough foliage to provide shade and privacy. The sites were very clean and the bathrooms were well maintained and clean. It’s well worth the drive past Ruidi Resevoir.

Really nice campground and spot 19 was right on the creek. Short walk to the reservoir.
Great for paddle boarding!

Not only were the campgrounds clean and beautiful but the amenities of a clean bathroom toilet and an easily accessible water spout were a bonus. Our favourite feature was the wonderful camp hosts (Cathy & Bruce). They were so friendly and helpful that we honestly miss them just as much as the beautiful campsite. They deserve 100 stars for their great work that they do.🩵

We love camping at Chapman. The camp hosts for Chapman South are wonderful people and keep the area very clean. We like the proximity to the Fryingpan River from the campsites. Our cell phones don't work which is a real plus to unwind and unplug for a couple or few days.

had a great time camping. the reservoir is still at its normal level.
A special shout out to the campground hosts. I had trouble getting my camper started when I was ready to leave.
They came and were glad to help me out and I was on my way in short order.

Campground was beautifully maintained. Restrooms were very clean. Campground hosts were cordial and helpful. We were camping with several friends, and all our campsites were comfortable and easily accessed. Wish there was a way to control the odor from the outhouses, but other than that occasional problem when the wind switched directions, everything was wonderful.

Not much running water !! The water at filling stations was rusty and tasted lousey! I understand the lack of snow last winter was the main culprit!! Hopefully more snow this winter will rectify the situation!!!
