Loved the camping experience here. It is so clean, quiet and beautiful. Campsites are spread out and the restrooms are very clean. We will be going back!

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.

I’ve stayed here a couple of times over the last couple of years and it has always been a great experience. Sites and bathrooms are clean and well maintained. I will definitely stay there again

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.

Very Nice place to spend several days. The camp hosts were wonderful. The camping spots were maintained in an excellent manner. I would recommend this park to anyone whether travel trailer fifth wheel motorhome and even tent camping!

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.
