It was very busy but everyone was respectful, no trouble with noisy neighbors, the bathrooms were clean, overall a great place to camp and enjoy the mountain biking!

It was excellent. Pit toilets were surprisingly clean. Sites were level and free of rubbish. Location is hard to beat, given it's the base of the entire trail system. Lovely spot, perfect for all sorts of people and vehicles. The only issue was the road from Fruita to the campground.

Overall, this is a decent campground, although I wouldn’t call it “dispersed” as the sites are close together. The biggest problem is the number of no shows. We stayed 3 nights and had to move sites every night. At least half the sites were empty every night, even though the web site said they were reserved. Refunding the fee if you cancel might help this.

I never went to the campsite due to bad weather.

We spent 4 nights (Sun-Thurs) in early April. The campground and trails were quiet but started to fill up more as we got closer to the weekend. Restrooms were clean & nice. The sites are spaced pretty well and the picnic tables and roped-off sites make it feel more organized. We had to run into town to get more water for the last night and that road is not one I'd like to do too much. Very washboard but worth it.

Camping areas were nicely laid out with gravel to park on and picnic tables and fire-pit's, new trails being added to the biking areas, washrooms were clean and well positioned.
No garbage disposal in camping area which looked to be working as Pack in Pack out, as long as people continue to respect the "Pack Out"
Will be back.
