Gorgeous. Clean. Quiet. Hosts are great. This is our 3rd year in a row and we will be back! Love the hike to the river. And the stars are insane!

This is our second stay at Blue Mountain. Last year (2019) the camp host was great and kept the place clean. This year the restrooms were very dirty and at best cleaned once a day and they didn’t even clean the floors when they did. That was disappointing. Be aware that the sites are small for RV’s we have a pop up trailer and could fit in only a few sites. Pretty area and a great trail from the campground to a lookout point over Eleven Mile. Site # 16 is where we stayed and had lots of space from other sites.

We stay at Blue Mountain because it is not on the South Platte River. Usually we have fewer campers and children to contend with. We are looking for solitude and peace and quiet. The weekend are the busiest times in the campground. We have been visited by several bears but usually it is late at night when they come around. We see deer, birds and squirrels also. I fish the South Platte River for rainbow and brown trout. We take day trips to surrounding towns when not fishing.

Dry camping in a beautiful area. We had spot number one. It’s a bit off to itself which was great for us. The fishing in eleven mile canyon was great.

Our camping spot amazing. The views beautiful. Loved hiking and seeing all the wild life. Our spot that we had was pushed back but a little in the open. We had spot 4. Highly recommend going here to camp.

Originally we reserved site #9 and once we got there realized we could not pull our pop up in that spot. So #9 and #10 are close and best for tents. The host was very nice and let us move where we wanted. We ended in #16 which was great for our trailer and private. Bathrooms were very clean and close. Nice quiet spot and we had a great time while we were there, even hanging in town for lunch one day.
