The campground is a nice size with good restrooms and plenty of water spigots but it’s quite steep around the campground so the sites don’t have a lot of flat areas for tents.

The host was very personable, The site was very clean and accommodating! We had two large tents, two trucks, and four people. #10 fit us very well but I think the other spots might have been a little tight. I would absolutely recommend. The lake was very clean and perfect for paddle boarding!

The campground was excellent. The road to get there was horrible! It has a stretch of 4 mi where the gravel road was so rutty that I almost turned around! The host said that the road is mostly leveled off around major holidays.
The boat ramp is gated and is open from 7am-5pm which means that you cannot go kayaking in the evening.

They turned off the water to the entire camp site the day before we arrived, and the entire surrounding area for all campers. We had to drink the lake water. We were tent camping for 3 days. No email to tell us, nothing!

Great campground. Very private, separated spots. Easy hike down to the reservoir. The host was very nice, friendly, informative, and laid back. There was some reported bear activity in the next site over during the night but we saw none. Close enough to the tourist attractions to be back by dinner. Loved it.

My son, grandson and I stayed at Meadows #9 at Rampart Reservoir Campground. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and we actually had a view of the lake. I was fortunate to see a bear passing by which was exciting! My boys love fishing at the reservoir which is why we camped there. We plan on making camping at Rampart an annual summer trip.

Clean restrooms, friendly host, easy to get to - campsites are a little closer than I'm used to but still not bad at all. Definitely will camp here again! The gravel road coming in was pretty washboardy, but to be expected.
