We LOVE Dearhammer campground. Been coming here for 50 years. The new management running the campground is horrible. It’s all about the money and as a camper you can feel it. There isn’t hospitality and friendliness anymore. Just money.
It is really really sad. We were told this company is bidding for the next contract for 10. I pray they don’t get it. It will be sad to find a new place to camp.

The location of the campground was nice. Although the ONE outhouse was often out of toilet paper and the second outhouse was out of order, creating a line and an uncomfortable experience.

The campground hosts were excellent. The bathrooms were very clean. The campground seems to be well managed. We stayed in site 11 which was pretty nice. There are a few amazing sites on the water side but are impossible to ever get as always booked up.

5 stars to the camp hosts. They keep the facility sparkling clean. 4WD trails in the surrounding area access some of the most amazing views in all of Colorado. Highly recommend FS400 and Burnt Mountain Road. Be sure to drive slow along the Frying Pan River.
