People visiting should know camping here is a very public experience, somewhat like camping in a parking lot. Good for short term stays and very clean, but not much privacy or seclusion.

We love this campsite! There are only a few sites here and they are spaced far apart and are also very lush so we had a lot of privacy. The tent sites and toilets were very clean and maintained daily. It's a really quick drive up to Maroon Bells and this campsite allows you to access that area at any time with your own car. We will definitely be back!
