The camp host is top notch! She really shows how much she cares about the campground. She cleans the fire pits, grates the ground, and cleans and checks the bathrooms multiple times of the day. Out of all the campgrounds I’ve been to, this one is awesome!

This is a lovely, tucked away campground that is immaculately maintained. Our campsite was raked before we arrived and the outhouses smelled just fine! How is that even possible?! And they were SO clean. The cleanest of any campground we've been to, ever! We really, really enjoyed our relaxing stay here. We appreciated the campground host's care of the campground and we will definitely be back. Pro tip: Definitely take the time to drive up the 11-mile canyon road located near the campground. It's gorgeous and with your campground fee you get a $7 pass that covers the entire time you stay at the campground.

Had two stays at Blue Mountain this summer, two nights each visit. (2021) Great campground, clean, quiet, room to move around, hiking trails.
Camp host did a great job keeping the sites ready. Clean rest rooms. Close enough to Lake George or Florissant if you forget something. 11 mile reservoir and canyon bot close by.

Site was very nicely cleaned and raked, and the bathrooms didn't even smell bad.
