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.

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.
