We have visited Dearhammer several times over the past 20 years. We love this campground. The camp host, Vickie was wonderful. The facilities were clean. Water is available but no electric. There was no cell service with T-mobile (this was a good thing). We came for the fishing and fished everyday. We also walked out to the reservoir. On the way home we stopped in Nearby Basalt. We also drove home over Independence Pass , which was spectacular!

Went when the water was a little low and still had a great time. Bear lockers for overnight storage, clean bathrooms and plenty of access to trails and water activities. Can't WAIT to come back

Great location by Ruedi reservoir. Kids loved fishing and playing by water was nice. Host was nice although not particularly knowledgeable about surrounding area hikes / activities. The only drawback is that the sites in the middle of the loop have zero privacy. No trees / bushes or anything. I’d stay again but prefer sites on edge of loop.
