Best. Bathrooms. Ever. Hands Down. This camp host is a wizard; they are cleaner than the gas station you passed on your way in. I was in site 11, it is a bit slanted, there is no tent pad, so you just have to walk around the site and make your best guess on where to put the tent with the least amount of slant. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, I would stay here again, but my dog did wake up in the corner of the tent having slid down throughout the night. The site is shaded, no bugs that I could see and really quiet. Small campground, most people are in tents so not a lot of RV noise. Road is nearby but not too close. Beautiful site close to the canyon and tons of river fun!

Blue Mountain was a real nice campground. Frankly it was our second choice as we would normally use Riverside but it was booked. The campground was quieter than Riverside, but we were still subjected to road noise from Blue Mountain Rd. The campground was not crowded, although it picked a bit on Wednesday. We had campsite #13, which was a nice location, but was pitched kind of steep for a trailer. It would be helpful to know in advance which sites are level. We would definitely stay there again, but on another site.

Had a great stay at Blue Mountain. The campground was very quiet and peaceful. There was a trailhead adjacent to our site- site six - which was really convenient. All the sites were spaced out nicely and the bathrooms were super clean and fully stocked with tp. There was a small general store (with a liquor store) on the way to the campground which was nice for last minute items. The Florissant Mercantile was also just a short way down the road and had an extensive selection of groceries.

Our 2nd stay here in a different site. Very enjoyable overall. We had a great hike from the trailhead in the campground. Love the easy access from Colorado Springs. Will definitely return.

Great spot! We camped at no 19, had fantastic views, plenty of room for 4 people and 2 vehicles and it was very clean (even the vault toilets!)! There were plenty of trees for shade and privacy, the sites were far enough apart we didn’t hear other campers much. The host had plenty of fire wood to buy, and made the rounds a couple of times, which is nice to see. Will def be coming back!

# 14 Campsite is placed in a ravine, when if it were to rain it may flood... not good layout planning. The site I booked was quiet and secluded, still adequate size to back in a 27 FT. Travel Trailer and vehicle.
