Great campground. Bathrooms clean!
We stayed in sites 9,10 and 11 which, other then the dumpsters being close by, these are the best spots. They are at then end of the col de sac and more secluded

Beautiful campground with nice trees. The hike to the Limber Grove was outstanding! However, the parking in several of the sites could be a bit more level.

Quiet, easy access to Mt. Sherman and close enough to Fairplay to run back for forgotten items. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful campground and campsite with lots of natural privacy as the sites are nestled in the woods. Level campsites. Clean facilities and campsites/grounds. The campground host is very responsive if you ever need assistance. Numerous incredible hiking trails in the area that were very suitable for our family with young to middle school aged children. Loved our stay and will definitely visit again.

Wonderful campground. Was not too busy Memorial Day weekend. We had plenty of room for our tents and the campground was peaceful and serene. It’s a great place to camp when doing Mount Sherman which is just 20 min further up the road.

The road to get to the campsite it pretty rocky and rough but the campsite is big and open. There were only two other families at the campsite and the host was not there most of the time. Its out in the woods and quiet.

We had a great time. Love the small size. Hosts left us alone which was fine with us! We fit 3 families on 2 spots. It was great.
