Little Mattie Campground offers a peaceful retreat with well-maintained facilities and a friendly camp host, Jeff, who is attentive and helpful. The campground features clean bathrooms and spacious, private sites, making it a favorite among local campers. While there is no running water on-site, nearby campgrounds provide easy access to water, and guests appreciate the beautiful surroundings and wildlife.

Some of the sites are too small for anything larger than a 27’ RV. But some sites do have a good amount of privacy. Not a lot of traffic because it’s tucked in a valley. Overall a decent campground.

Could not believe how clean the facilities were, and how friendly all the camp host were. I recommend a few days stay to take in all the areas one can visit.

we loved our stay here. The site was really spacious and secluded. The wildlife was beautiful to wake up to. I love that it is dog friendly. Our dog loved being out there and exploring. The lake is beautiful and not far. The stars are pretty from this site. We didnt find a lot of trails around this area. There is the ruedi overlook trail. Not that far to drive into basalt if you forgot any camping supplies. They had rangers out there cleaning the bathrooms a lot which was so nice. No water at the campground but they have potable water near the dump station. We loved it here and will be returning in the future.

This is a nice, quiet and clean campground. There is no water here but there is at Little Maude, the next camp over. The site is level and close enough to the lake to do a bit of fishing. Overall, a peaceful place with really great camp hosts! Toilets were clean and always had tissue. I was pleased by the experience.
