Very nice place. The best thing was the campground hosts. They were always around cleaning or raking.

Our campsite 11C was clean and tidy. Bathroom was very clean and no smell. Quiet at night in our loop. Easy access to Colorado Trail.

Quiet sites that are nicely spaced apart. Pit toilets were very clean. Campground was quiet during nighttime hours. Plenty of shade at the site. Only downside was the dusty, washboard dirt road the last couple of miles up to the campground.
