We arrived on a Monday afternoon with a reservation for Site #5, but it was too slopey for a tent, so we were able to switch to Site #7 which was a little flatter and still close to the restroom and the dumpster (which we could sometimes smell if the wind picked up). The vault toilets were fairly clean. The trees provided some shade, but the biting flies are pretty bad. Close to a short trail that takes you to the Eleven Mile Canyon "overlook" and you can get a little cell signal up there.
Overall the campground is nice but noise will echo here like crazy. Throughout our stay there was a crying toddler, a barking dog, and a woman who talked loudly all evening long. A family came in after 10 p.m. and made all kinds of noise trying to get their popup trailer situated. On the plus side, if you love the stars like I do, you will get a Dark Sky on a clear night. Eleven Mile Canyon is a lovely drive too and well worth the $7 fee. The entrance is right around the corner.

Grounds and facilities (bathroom; well water; and dumpster) were convenient to have on access. Camp host was a disappointment as we were never greeted or welcomed by them (mind you we were directly across from the camp host site). If you plan to camp here, I cannot recommend camping near the host. They may change out but the host we had was loud (baby and kids screaming/crying; music playing) which greatly detracted from the experience of being in nature. It seemed like they were there to take advantage of any benefits for being “the host”. They were no where near what I have envisioned a camp host to be. May I suggest another campground altogether? Nearby area and forest is beautiful and be sure to explore it! Cheers.

Campsite was a "pull through" RV site. What that means is the campsite is located on the road so dealt with dust from other campers driving by during the entire trip. There are much better sites in the area.

typical US Forest Service Campground. Comfortable distances between sites, clean toilets with adequate paper, friendly campground host and good access to some of the best trout fishing in Colorado.
