The location was very nice - well separated from the sound of US285, a mile away. Sites are well spread out and nicely appointed. One concern: We had two parties in a site - one with a tow vehicle and trailer, and one with a tent. We were charged $10 a night for "extra vehicles" - counting the trailer as a vehicle. Our past experience is that only powered vehicles count, and trailers are not "vehicles' by that definition.

The campground was great and super convenient from Denver. Facilities were old and vault toilets were not well maintained, but manageable. Largest and most private sites were 17/18 by far. Just due to the convenience factor I think what we will be definitely be back.

Had an absolutely amazing time at this campsite. The campground was almost empty because it was the last weekend of the year. No complaints, only great memories!

The pit toilets were stinky and not cleaned during our visit. Trash cans were overflowing when we arrived and still overflowing when we left 2 days later. The park was mostly empty so it was quiet and peaceful. The camp host was friendly. Our campsite (site 18) was very secluded and we had a great meadow view. I could see how the site might flood around picnic table and fire pit, but it is a big site with a pull around drive.

Well, it was a mixed bag. Site 18 was really great. We had it for two days. We then had to move to site 7 which is the worst site in the campground. It’s just a matter of what was available at the time we made our reservations. The campground was quiet and nice overall but could use some updating. Pit toilets are subpar. Water source was sketchy. Not sure I’d drink it or fill my trailer with it. Overall, we give it a B.

We found the camp host very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the visit, and it was nice to have a great water well pump, that was easy to use and the water so clear and fresh! Sites were clean and kept up.

Nice quiet camp area. It is well used this time of year. Bathrooms were decently clean, but not great. Water was good. We would come back.
