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.

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.
