My spot was at two different slope angles. Had difficulty unhitching the trailer. Truck at one angle, trailer at the other

Very clean, quiet, and very spaced-out sites. Located on the Colorado Trail. This it our second stay and I will say it is ranked in my top 2 campsites every.

The camp host was the best.....(I think Beverly - sorry I'm horrible at names). She will do anything to make sure everyone's stay is perfect. She made the place awesome.
Plus, the bathrooms were super clean.

Well spaced sites, some requiring leveling. Multiple water spigots available but only two for RV tank filling. Vault toilets clean and odorless. Good shade on most sites. Some sites close (but not adjacent) to Colorado Trail for hiking/biking access. Road in was approximately 2 mi of well graded gravel. Responsive and receptive hosts. Site adjusting possible on site

Place was beautiful off the beaten path. Quiet. Near Colorado Trail allowing for unlimited hiking. Went into town and rode narrow gauge railroad to Silverton. Look forward to returning in near future.

While the road in was very rough and bumpy, the campground was beautiful! It was the absolutely quietest campground we have ever been to with no voices or music being heard between campsites. Lovely, large, clean campsite with beautiful trees. The campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were also the cleanest we saw on our trip.
