We stayed at site #15. Very soon after we arrived, the campground lived up to its name and it started to thunderstorm. We enjoyed the storms from inside our tent and the next day enjoyed walking on the trail to the lake with an umbrella. The trails are nice and smooth and easy to walk despite the rain. The campground is quite pleasant and our site felt private even though we had camping neighbors on all sides. We could not find a completely level spot to set up our tent out of the sun on Site #15. The intended pad was sunken and rocky. The camp host was amazing (A++) and said that they planned to improve the pads for next year. She kept a very clean restroom and was super helpful. She even provided hand sanitizer!!! We would love to come back and try to get sites #13, #12, #11, or even #10 that overlook the lake. Overall, we had an excellent experience!!!

With only around 21 sites, this campground was peaceful. Very close to the Rampart Reservoir which is a no wake lake, made it even better. Road going there was a bit rough with our trailer coming from Colo Springs but still manageable.

Stayed right by the bathrooms, never smelled them once. Sight was clean and well maintained. Even enjoyed the hike down to the water (though someone should get a chain saw and clear the down trees blocking the trail). Definately adding this to our yearly camping rotation!
