Beautiful campground and the bathrooms smelled like cinnamon. Don’t forget your paddle boards.

Beautiful campground and lake. Quite a few people fishing, but we took our kayak out and enjoyed the lake and views, including a bald eagle flying over us while on the lake. We also took the short hike back to a small waterfall. A dump station is about 20 miles or so to the north in South Fork.

Great campsite. Very quiet and though it was full it did not feel crowded. Lots of scenery and wildlife.
Very friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful. Great fishing. Plan on rain in the afternoon (It's Colorado). There are some FF (first Come, First Served) walk-up type sites, but I would recommend making reservations. The lake is large enough for boats.

This is a fantastic campground. Well graveled roads which helps to keep the dust down. The camp sites are level and well spaced apart. Awesome views and great fishing for young and old alike. It has a nice hiking trail around the lake. The rest rooms were the cleanest we had ever used thanks to the camp hosts. They were also very friendly and on top of any needs you had. One of our sons and his family were with us and their site next to ours was very nice as well and had a trail to ours. My wife and I were awestruck with how quiet it was there. We have decided that we definitely want to go back next summer.

This is a nice campground. The vault toilets are in fact the most pleasant I have ever used, and I have used more than a few.... This area of Colorado is losing what seems like most of the evergreens to the bark beetle and the campground is no exception. So there are a lot of stumps. It does take away some from the beauty. There were a plethora of beautiful wildflowers walking around the lake - several I have never seen before.... I enjoyed my time here...

Camp Hosts were wonderful. Camp site was clean and tidy. Vault toilets were the cleanest and nicest smelling I have ever experienced.

Very well maintained campground and literally the best kept pit toilets I've seen in my life. Not a lot of fish in this lake but there's other lakes nearby where the fish were biting.
