We had a great weekend here using as a basecamp into Eleven Mile Canyon to fish the South Platte.

The camp sites were reasonably sized though we had a little trouble finding a good flat spot for the tent. The bathrooms at the site were impressively clean. The trail over the ridge to Riverside Campground is well cleared and marked.

The campground worked great for us. Highly recommended!

Overall, this site is in a fairly good location. When we went 90% of the sites were tent camping so it was quiet with no generator noise. The site 15 itself requires quite a bit of leveling. I have a hard sided pop-up camper and it required five of those yellow leveling blocks in order to make my rig level. I think this is the case with most of the sites so if you do not have any sort of way to level your camper, then you are going to be disappointed, otherwise it was not bad. To get into this spot I recommend going to the left at the entrance, not straight this way you’ll feel like you’re going backwards through the campsite, but it’ll be a lot easier to back the trailer in. It is about 50 to 70 yards from the bathroom. We did not notice a smell the vast majority of the time but as a warning, it is very close to the bathroom but for us it was not an issue in terms of noise or smell. we come to blue Mountain once or twice every year, at least, and every time it has been fine and we have no issues with the campsite overall and enjoy it.

Pull thru site #19 was just a wide spot in the road. No good for a camper. Heavy erosion. This site needs to be rebuilt.

This is a beautiful campground near 11 mile reservoir. This site has a picnic table and a fire ring. there are bathrooms and a pump spigot a short walk away. Only downside to this site is that it is definitely on an angle so you might slightly slide downward trying to sleep depending on the angle of your tent. There is a decent amount of shade.
