Beautiful spot. We go after the regular season and during week days and it’s not so crazy busy. We only live about 30 minutes away and like to go for some away time from work and a lot of kayaking.

Breathtaking sunrises and clean mountain air. The campgrounds was full but didn’t feel on top of each other full, good spacing. If you are one that needs cell service this may not be the place at 9200 feet in the mountains, spotty signal. The campground host, Cheryl, was fantastic keeping track of the grounds and giving advice of things to do in the area.

The 4 mile road (Rampart Range) leading to Thunder Ridge is always in TERRIBLE shape. A driver in front of us flipped his Honda Element on its roof, totaling it, due to the washboard and loose sand on the road. The road has been terrible for many years, and is infrequently graded. Inexcusable, even by 'back country road' standards. Should I really need to crawl at 2 MPH for 2 of the 4 miles to avoid destroying my truck and camper?

We had a wonderful stay. The campsites, while close together, are set up to feel a bit private. We had a mama deer and her baby walk right up to us and we got to watch the baby feed! The hike to the reservoir is absolutely stunning! The woman running the site was super friendly and helpful. We will absolutely be back!!

I always come back to rampart at least once a year, as a kayaker its incredibly enjoying to paddle through here and very pretty exploring all the coves.

We stayed in Site 20 and although the site was beautiful, overlooking the forest, and a bit I leveled because of the natural layout of the forest, what was the most terrible was the scent from the bathrooms. I believe there’s a pipe that exits between site 20 and the site to the right (overlooking the forest) that ventilates the bathrooms. It smelled horrible, but you only caught a Whig of it once in a while. Other than that, beautiful place!

The camp was clean, and in a beautiful spot above the reservoir. The water provided tasted great. The access road was awful and very rough. The camp host made sure I was comfortable and gave me good information about walking around the lake. Go there, but make sure you drive the access road slowly.
