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.

The cleanest vault toilets we have ever seen. Super well maintained campground, we will definitely stay here again. Friendly camp hosts, access to the Colorado trail, what more can you ask for?
