We had a great time here! It is on the far side of Ruedi away from other sites so unfortunately the water was too low to do anything in unless we drove to the other side. But the campground itself was really clean and well cared for. Some of the cleanest restrooms I’ve seen camping. We stayed at sites 11 and 10 and they were not on the river side but had good tree coverage.

We love coming up to Dearhamer, we've been doing it for close to 50 years. It is probably one of the best places on earth.

The campground host answered all of my questions and was very helpful with setting up an additional night for a campsite.

10 years ago was the last time I was here. Back then the water came all the way up to the campground and we could launch boats right there. Unfortunately, now it is half a mile to get down to the water. That being said we had a lovely time and I would especially recommend the camp hosts and the clean bathrooms.

The campground need maintenance, a major renovation, paved road, leveling and why has the dump station... for the 6 campground in the area about 187 camping sites not ben fixed??? Add renovation too, great opportunity to to do that. It's been 3 years, what is the excuse? The next dump station is Silt CO for heavens sake!. This is the same review for all the campsites. The Marina should have a bathroom near the actual RV sites. Every camping area in this beautiful area are in need of major renovation. Thank you.
