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.
