Chapman Campground offers a beautifully maintained environment with exceptionally clean bathrooms and friendly, helpful hosts. Campers appreciate the spacious, accessible sites and nearby recreational opportunities, including hiking and fishing. While some guests noted issues with water quality and occasional odor from outhouses, the overall experience is highly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

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!

The campsite was great, but parking at the lake was difficult. The rules recently changed so there is no day use parking by the lake, which doesn’t work if you have small children.

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.
