Campground is in a beautiful location. Sites are spread apart giving each camper lots of privacy. The host was attentive and friendly. The only drawback is the washboard gravel road leading to and inside the park. We were told it had been graded only one time at the beginning of the season. Roads—gravel or otherwise—are poorly maintained in Park County, and these are no different.

We love this campground for a quick visit. It is a pleasant place and close to Jefferson Lake. Betty and Tim are the camp hosts this year and they are amazing. The grounds are kept clean and the bathrooms are kept very clean. They were both very friendly and helpful!! Hoping they return in the future.

We came during the week and it was great, probably less than half full. Looks like the weekends are busier. Hiking, kayaking, 4-wheeling, and opportunities to view wildlife. We also enjoyed going to the coffee shop in Jefferson everyday to get Wi-Fi and have a great cappuccino.
