Nice hiking from the campground. Friendly host and the cleanest restrooms I've ever seen at a first service campground!

Best spot at this campground.
Couple of pines too close to the fire pit, close to trailhead, away from the entrance, shady, good spot for hammocks, saw a black bear pass by maybe 100 ft away.

Beautiful, quiet and shaded. Yes the restroom is close, but no smell whatsoever. The down side is there are no real flat spots for a tent. Found a flat-ish spot for a 2-person tent, but anything larger and there is no space.

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.
