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.

Many people were fishing during our stay walking around and through our camp. Also the entire campground was extremely dusty. Some dust suppressant or paving is needed. The staff was very helpful and curtious bathrooms clean. Very nice lake its on.
