Very nice spot with a wonderful river/creek. Some areas were up to 3 ft deep so it was great to soak in during the heat of the day.
Book a campsite near the water if you can, and try to use satelite images when selecting your spot as some of them have almost no shade. Get those right and this spot is awesome

Our stay at Chapman Lake campground was fantastic. We were there on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and there were just one or two other campers in the area. We had a beautiful campsite that was clean, bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever experienced, camp host was kind and helpful. Deer, squirrels, and a babbling Frying Pan river- what more could you ask for?!

Incredible campground. Our site as great for little gods huge boulders for the kids to play on and VERY clean bathrooms. Our site was private, but you could see the campsite next to ours (looks like there are more secluded sites in other loops). The highlight was Chapman trail to Chapman lake hike. A stunning 7 mi hike to an alpine lake straight from the campsite.

Our family and friends had a great camping trip at this site. The camp hosts were all very friendly and helpful, especially Bruce and Kathy. They make their rounds on a regular cadence and keep the restrooms and campsites in top notch condition - you can definitely tell that they take pride in their work! They even helped find our little boy who had accidently wondered off into the wrong campground. Overall we were all very impressed with the site, location, cool stream and our kids caught a lot of fish at the reservoir - lots of smiles all around!

The campground hosts, Bruce and Kathy, were wonderful. The campsite was nice and clean, swept of pine needles, when we arrived. They keep a regular daily routine, which means you will meet them and see them attending tasks that keep the campground in good working condition.
