This has to be one of my favorite campgrounds and spots ever! Spot 19 has an amazing overlook of Ruedi reservoir and is very open and has tons of space for both your trailer and vehicles but also around and behind the fire pit / table. There is also a water fill station practically attached to part of the site, less than 50 ft from the fire pit. This seems to be the one used by most of the upper part of the campground, but didn’t bother me at all! Was nice to see and say hello to some of our neighbors. The bathrooms are also about 20 ft away from the site and they are flushing toilets! A nice surprise and they are cleaned daily, I was very very impressed with how well kept the restrooms were. Again something I could see some people getting annoyed with or grossed out by, but the accessibility is unmatched! Hoping to come here every year in the future

We Always like coming to Little Maude. This year seem to be a little strange with not having water available. The camp host seem to be off duty more than on over the holiday weekend and no firewood available to buy but generally the campground seem to be in good shape and the bathrooms are still clean.

We love all 3 campgrounds at Ruedi Recreation Area. The bathrooms are clean and stocked. The hosts are friendly and helpful as are other staff that we had the pleasure of talking with. We will be back next year.

None of the campsites have flat ground for tents. The cost of a night should include soap dispensers in the bathroom as nobody uses soap otherwise spreading germs on bathroom doors, etc.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
