Molli B has a water shortage, so the flush toilets were closed. Porta pots were installed, and almost overflowing for our first 2 days. Also, there was no indication that anything rest room facilities would be available, and repeated calls to the ranger station were unanswered. I left a message and no return on that either. Other than that, the campground was clean. It a very pretty place and one of our favorites. The lake is pretty low for this time of the year, but not much to be done about that.

This is a fantastic place to camp. It s very scenic and the camp sites are not too close together. This place is far enough from the Front Range to keep away the "rif-raff". During the week, there are not very many people. The weekends tend to fill up though. If you have a boat, access to the water is very convenient. Just be prepared to have Reudi red mud ground into everything. The campground hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

The water shortage situation there made things less than ideal though. Portable toilets were setup in front of the normally nice bathrooms with flush toilets and running water. This would have been fine, except the portable toilets were not serviced frequently enough during our stay, resulting in some really gross and unsanitary conditions.

I have been camping here at least once a year for 25 years. It is sad to see the campgrounds in this area slowly deteriorate due to the lack of proper maintenance and not replacing things as they become old. It seems the management has changed hands several times, and each time the price gets higher and higher with less and less staff to properly maintain the place.

Overall, the experience is very positive.

Beautiful scenery, nice hikes available at the Ruedis trail head just next to the campground entrance. The lake is awesome this time of year perfect for boating, jet skis, paddle boards, etc... The 505 trailhead is also about 20 mins away located on the Frying Pan road. Overall great spot to go camping beautiful scenery between the mountain and the lake 10/10 would go again.
