Horseshoe Campground

As always the lake did not disappoint! BUT, the reservation management was a complete JOKE! i arrived on Sunday the 5th with a receipt for the 5-8 of July in spot 19. Someone was in my spot (19) when i arrived at 3 pm. They had a receipt through the 6th. The host had a schedule with them through the 6th and me the 6-8. The people said they were actually leaving after dinner, so I agreed to sit around and wait then sent up camp around 7 PM. OK, that sucked but now we are camping! Next day a lady shows up complaining that i am in her spot. The host was off, I explained what I had gone through the day before, she had a receipt for the 6-9 in #19. The Ranger had come by and wrote HER name on the site not mine, that comes later, I had a site a friend couldn't make it to so I offered that site to this new #19 customer. She accepted sort of. But asked that I leave early on the 8th so she could move in. Next day the Ranger comes by and says I am in some one else spot, (the second lady's) I went through the whole F'ing story again. The ranger had a completely different schedule. The host was still off and unavailable. In the end I made reservations in January when covid shut down the camp the Ranger said they cancelled all reservations and started over. NOT true, this site sent me a reservation confirmation, and said "we're open" I printed my receipt the day before and was never cancelled. Who ever collects the money collected double fees for the 5, 6, 7. In all I wasted almost 10 hours of my trip either waiting or arguing with people about the spot that I paid for and reserved in January!

The campground is pretty but the old restrooms smell terrible. In general, we’re not too particular but these were bad even after the host treated them. We don’t plan to return.

The Limbar trail is not to be missed. It’s an easy trek from Denver, and the FairPlay area has some of the most beautiful hiking in Colorado and it’s very close to a number of 14’rs

This is a nice isolated campground with decent facilities. Its a great place to base out of if hiking or climbing some of the 14ers in the area.

Beautiful, private and all around just perfect!

My experience at this campground was poor because the pump for the water for the entire campground was broken. We had to go to the next campground, not an easy or short drive, and who carries extra plastic gallon jugs for these occasions? I didn't think the host was particularly helpful in our case.

Great high elevation campground, in a wooded area.

Good location, decent sites. We had a good time despite the rain. There are a bunch of trails right from the campground which was really nice

Secluded enough to feel disconnected, yet close enough to run into town, this camp ground is one of our family's favorites.
