Love this campground. I try to camp here every year. Always clean and quiet. I was shocked to see most campsites reserved but very few were actually filled. Wish people would get penalized for no-showing on reserved sites. It’s generally a very busy campground and I’m sure those sites could have gone to other people instead of sitting empty all weekend.

Campsite was OK. The campground is 14 mi from the town of Basalt on a winding road that follows a pretty river. Lovely drive, but in the middle of nowhere. We had a 30 ft trailer and pickup truck and had no problem getting there. Our campsite was not very good, but we made it work. It was on a hill and hard to get level. It said no water available, but you could get a small amount from some of the spigots around. The dump station looked permanently closed. The grass on our site had never been mowed and was tall. My husband found a tick on him. But the lake and the surrounding views were beautiful!

The drive to the campground was charming! I came across a flock of turkeys hanging out in the road and one tried to chase me. The campground was solo easy to navigate and it seems a camp host was always onsite and super helpful to campers. There were bear lockers at each campsite, but I only saw a few deer roaming around after dark.
