Well spaced sites. Plenty of shady trees. Friendly host. Clean bathrooms. 2 hydrants were very low flow & another was dripping. Informed host, but she was already aware of the issue & had advised the relevant authority months ago. No trail or campground maps at entrance booth. Rampart Reservoir was about 30' down from max level, but the boulder formations & clear water were impressive. Good fishing & kayaking.

Sites vary in size and slope. Clean bathrooms. Close proximity to reservoir for paddle boarding, canoeing or kayaking.
