The grounds were well maintained, we noticed the bathrooms were recently cleaned when we went to use them in the morning. Beautiful campsite and plenty of room between sites. The only complaint we have was we felt as though we were being rushed out. Check out is at noon and we noticed the grounds keeper making frequent rounds which got more frequent as noon approached and staring us down. We paid to stay until noon so we are entitled to such, without feeling as though we are overstaying our welcome. That has never been our experience at other campgrounds (we were on a week-long camping trip all over Colorado). This was our honeymoon and the last leg of our trip. Based on the long list of rules left on the table, they've likely had troubles with guests in the past. I appreciate the need for rules but the way they were written (we won't hesitate to contact this agency, police, etc. if this is observed... no "welcome," "hello," "we hope you enjoy," basically nothing that signals that they care about the guest feeling welcome or joyful, very strictly written. We thought it was weird but didn't dwell on it much because we are respectful guests. We wouldn't be surprised if the same person circling us on the golf cart wrote those rules too. Kind of dampened the mood, but if you can look past all that, you'll have a good time.
