I will be back! It was so beautiful even with the pouring rain. The vault toilets are the best I have ever seen, and I had a magical time with my boyfriend. I have already booked another trip! 10/20 would recommend.

The outhouses were clean. The reservations were clearly marked an accurate. The camphosts let one of our party use a better site than reserved that was empty. The camphosts were knowledgeable about the nearby forest fire and on top of the bear situation. One of the best campsites in Colorado.

Beautiful campground!! However, I have never been to a campground that you were unable to get to the lake! It was ridiculous that there was not an entry point for campers to get to the lake! We would definitely go back but not if that is the rule. NOT driving to day area then climbing the steps when the lake is 50 ft away!!
Campground hosts were wonderful!

Great facility and camp spot but couldn’t believe how busy the lake has got with day use people! There was very little room anywhere on the shore to set up the SUP.
