Gorgeous small campground with 24/7 access to Maroon Bells. Right on the creek, and a downed tree has created a small waterfall. Bring your own water and please use bear boxes. Pit toilet was clean and maintained every day. Campsite 3 has the best access to the creek. Tent pad was just big enough for 2 2-person tents.

Beautiful campground and no RV or trailer spots, which is great because they are some of the loudest people on Earth with their gas generators. A great way to do Maroon Bells, just a heads up, there's no water available, so make sure to bring your own.

I am in love with this campground. Right by a roaring stream, I fell asleep easily each night. The reservation includes a parking pass at Maroon Bells, which was perfect. The site has a nice sized bar locker. My cooler fit perfectly inside. I would love to camp here again.
