The tent camping site was beautiful. We were there at a good time -- early September. I'm guessing it gets crowded other times. However, the sites are spacious so even if crowded there would be plenty of room.

Beautiful, spacious spots. Towering trees, no sounds of humanity even though you are 5 miles from downtown amenities. There is some wash boarding on the road going up, but not nearly what I had expected based on reviews. The ability to enjoy nature, then drive a few minutes to a brew pub is perfect for our camping style. The hosts were so helpful. We will return.

Beautiful campsite, located in mature evergreen forest. Host was friendly and very helpful. Campsites were in excellent condition and well maintained. Bathrooms were super clean. The only issue was the very rough and poorly maintained La Plata County road on the way to the campsite.

Beautiful campground and impeccably maintained! Vault toilets were the cleanest and best we’ve seen. Sites were spread out, large, and private. Lots of trees and sites were graded and cleaned after campers departed - hosts were super. Firewood available for purchase, and town is not to far for supplies. Will definitely return for a longer stay (stayed 2 nights)!
