I've always loved this campsite. I did find two invasive species in the river so please everyone, clean your tubes n gear before getting in the river.
There are definitely bears so take the appropriate precautions.

Been coming here with family since I was little. I like that it’s small- only 8 campsites.

Nice double/buddy site located right next to the South Platte and just far enough away from the restrooms if ya catch my drift. Love this place!
