Really great spot, the camp sites are spread far apart and have a lot of room between them (except the ones in the center of the loop). Didn't see the camp host, but the evidence of their presence was in the incredibly clean restrooms and meticulously prepared camp site before our arrival. If you go during the week you just might have the entire place to yourself, like we did. I don't typically like going to the same place more than once, considering how big the world is and how many options are out there, but I won't be surprised if I find myself at this spot again in the future.

we always love coming up to this campground this time of year. The camphost was very friendly and congratulations on his new baby as he had to leave early, but the next guy that came in was just a nice. Always very clean. Just one thing that you might think about for next year - we ere in campsite #1 - there is a big bush that is at the end of the slot. There was a huge swarm of yellow jackets moving around in the bushes. They did not bother us, but if someone uses this campsite with kids - you could have a couple of serious stings.

Awesome campsite with ample tent room! Plenty of trees but not the most private campground you've ever seen. Access to the CO Trail is super easy! Loved it

Very nice location well off of the busy highway. Very quiet. Great attendant at the campground. Ample restrooms for the campground.
