This was one of our favorite places during our trip around Colorado that included staying at 7 different campgrounds. The camp hosts were very kind and attentive and the grounds and bathrooms were spotless. We will definitely be back to Lottis Creek and the beautiful Taylor River area!

We’ve camped at Lottis Creek numerous times over the years, and have always had a very enjoyable stay. The sites are well maintained, quiet, the restrooms are clean and fresh, and the campground hosts are friendly. One negative - we were unpleasantly surprised to find the firewood bundles for sale went up from $7 last year to $10 this year, almost a 50% increase - but the bags of wood still are wrapped in wrappers marked $7, with no reason given by the host for the change. With the pine beetle infestation, they don’t want to have people bring their own firewood in, so I’ll bring my own propane firebowl next time.
