Campground was excellent. Payment set up undesirable because it does not allow a person like me to use my senior parks pass and receive my 50% discount. The payment process does not allow the senior discount to be applied, and causes a hardship for seniors.

Stayed here four nights. Hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about places to see, especially for wildlife. Campground was clean as well as vault toilets. However, for tent campers, we wish quiet hours were longer because travel trailers were running generators all the time. One by us every morning at 6:00 am. Better hours would be 9:00 pm to 8:00 am.

Very quiet campground with pleasant camp hosts. Sadly, the lake level was down so low there is no shoreline nearby. But the campground, facilities and area were clean, easy to use and functional. Not much highway noise. Gunnison River is a short hike down in the old lake bottom and the town of Gunnison is a short drive with everything you would need for your stay. Easy in and out of the campground. Sites were level.

The site overall was ok. There are people that live on site which made the wasp nest in the restroom disappointing. Zero trees but good spacing between campsites.

No water in the "lake".
The campground was pleasant and nice.

Mostly level parking, back in mostly. Water nearby and restrooms were clean and stocked. Just overnight X2.

Camped over memorial day weekend. It was an empty campground except for a few campers. Great cool evenings, bright sunny afternoons, windy evenings. The campground toilets were clean and equipped with hand sanitizer and TP. If you struggle to complete the reservation through Recreation.gov, then the only way I found to successfully complete the weekend long reservation was to download the app, scan the QR code, then complete payment. Overall, I'd stay here again.

I gave it a two because water is way down and wind gusts are tremendously horrible but keeps the may flies somewhat away.
