What Guests Are Saying

Lottis Creek Campground is praised for its excellent location, friendly and attentive camp hosts, and exceptionally clean facilities, including the vault toilets. Guests enjoy spacious and well-maintained campsites, with many nearby recreational opportunities like fishing and hiking. However, concerns were raised about deep potholes in the campground roads and issues with the dump station water supply, which need addressing.

Absolutely beautiful! If you have the opportunity to stay at this site I highly recommend it! All of the sites are far enough apart that you have plenty of privacy, and you are always close by to the restrooms and water spouts. The camp host was super friendly and welcomed us right away! She always stopped by to check in on us when she went on her rounds. If you’re tent camping in early June make sure you bring a heater and a long extension cord as the nights can be very cold, but if you prepare right you should be fine. Town can be a 30-45 minute drive so make sure you have everything you need before you arrive. Overall this was one of the most beautiful sites I’ve ever camped at and I look forward to visiting it again in the future!

Lottis Creek is one of the nicest campgrounds I visited all summer. The group camping area is outstanding. The campground overall is excellent.

I also enjoyed how shaded the non-group camping sites are. They're flat pads at medium to large size (two tents and a shade cover easily fit, lots of big driveways), and the pit-houses were as immaculate as could be. All that's missing are any bear-boxes, but that's minor.

The only disappointment was learning that the Taylor River in this stretch of area is largely inaccessible due to private land ownership - such a shame, and no fault of the campground of course, but visiting anglers beware! Alternatively, the Taylor Reservoir is close and fishes well. Lottis Creek also offers some fun and technical fly-fishing too; I caught small trouts, some up to around 6-7 inches.

Looking forward to visiting again next year!

Lottis Creek is near the Taylor River/Reservoir in CO. The sites are appropriately spaced with electric. Water spigots in each loop. Views of the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. The camp hosts are outstanding—organized, friendly & helpful. Toilets are very clean.

Cathy the camp host is awesome. She does a great job and is very helpful. She does a tremendous job in keeping the bathrooms clean. She has even added a personal touch to the decor of a plain run of the mill bathroom. Our stay was very enjoyable.

I loved my stay at Lottis Creek. The hosts in the Park Cone loop are the best I’ve ever encountered. They made everyone in the small loop feel right at home. The bathrooms were very clean and the ladies room was even nicely decorated! Pretty cool for a pit toilet. The sites are nicely spaced so each site feels relatively private. Some of the sites are right next to Lottis Creek. Since the campground is in a narrow canyon there was no cell service and Starlink couldn’t connect. But there was enough open sky to set out the solar panels to charge the power station. All in all, a very quiet and relaxing stay. I will definitely return.

First time camping there. I was busy at work prior to heading to the camp site and forgot to download the site info. I didn't remember which loop I was supposed to be at and there's no signal in that whole area. The host was SO SO nice. She let me stay at a FF spot and didn't charge me extra. I had my 2 year old with me so we had to go to bed super early (~ 8:30pm) but everyone around us was very respectful, super quiet at night. The bathrooms actually smelled nice! It's unbelievable. They had a cleaning sign-up sheet on the door to show when each day the bathrooms were cleaned. The campground itself has lots of trees so very well shaded. We did have to keep all food in the car because other people's coolers got attacked by bears not long ago. Overall very pleasant experience. We ended up staying two nights instead of one (my original plan). Highly recommended!
