Great camp host! Very well maintained and clean. Pit toilets were about as good as you can imagine....even had air fresheners! Excellent location near the Mt Sherman trailhead. Camp sites were large with lots of space in between.

Beautiful location, lots of mosquitoes and toilets needed pumping. Could use a lot more care from the NFS than its getting.

Our group (10 people, 4 cars) had sites 6 & 7 for 7/24-7/27. Sites were nice and close and we were able to move between the two easily which was perfect for us. Tons of greenery and the most beautiful wildflowers. The only ‘negatives’ were mosquitoes and the rocky road up. Camp host is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Camp host is so nice; the area is beautiful. Hiked up Sheep Mountain, good hike but quite rocky. There is an awful mosquito infestation and it’s miserable. Make sure you prepare yourself and your animals accordingly.

Middle of the week in early July and there was very little traffic and campers, most just overnight. We enjoyed a lot of wildflowers which included Columbine, a treat for us, being Colorado born and raised. Camp Host was very helpful and showed me the way to get the old water pump to work with some old fashion elbow grease.

Sal, the camp host, was one of the best we’ve EVER had! Views are fantastic too! FF camp sites were our favorite sites out of the two locations.

Beautiful campground and very quiet minus the occasional generator and chainsaw from camp host cutting firewood. Road is pretty rough in some spots. Dirt road with rocks & holes for the majority of the way to the campground from Hwy 285. We pulled a small camper with our pickup & it was fine. Sprint didn't get service, but Verizon did. Clean bathrooms although very smelly. Campground was very clean overall. Trailhead access from campground. We would definitely camp here again.

Had a really great time. Loved the space of the spots. You could hike from the campground to various spots. My Sherman (14er) is just up the road if you want to get up early and do that. My only complaint is that there were people setting up in our campsite when we got there. Our name was clearly on the post, not sure if anyone would have actually checked either, the host presence was pretty absent.

Only complaint is that the manual water pump requires extreme effort to get water out.
