Lodgepole (Jefferson Lake, Fairplay Colorado)

My family and I took a weekend getaway trip up here, and we were sooo impressed with this camp ground!! Little bit frustrated at the beginning, due to not having cash for entering the campsite and had already drove so far to have to turn around and drive back in town to get cash. But once we found our camping spot and had everything setup, we were in heaven! Clean campsite, spacious campsite right in the middle, not too far or too close to the restrooms, quiet and, the best part, no cellphone service!! It was amazing to be able to not hear or pay attention to everything else going on in life, just family time with no electronics to interfere.

The campsite itself was standard. Facilities kept clean and campsites of average quality. However, the campgrounds were infested with yellow jackets. Most of our party was stung during our 2 day trip, including children. Meals were difficult to prepare and eating had to be done in the car. It was miserable. We were not warned of this when checking into our campsite. When leaving, questioned camp host about the conditions and she said it had been an issue due to the wet season. Would have been nice to have been warned about this when arriving. If we had not been with a large group of friends, would have left immediately.

Average campground. Experience would have been better if it wasn't for the high number of Yellow Jackets that made meals miserable. Several people in our group, including kids, were stung

I would have rated our experience higher if it had not been the fact that the camp host had a very loud generator that ran all day long. We met a wonderful couple from Germany that have been coming to the Western part of the USA FOR 38 years for their 7 weeks of vacation.

Nice campground and overall good sites. Fresh drinking water. Hiking, biking and fishing available from CG. CG is well cared for. During the week fairly quiet, but during the weekends can get a bit noisy at times. No close services nearby. Overall a very nice stay.

The site host was awful--he ran his generator all day, literally the entire time we were there. We ended up moving to another set of camp sites to get away from the noise. When I mentioned that we wanted to move away from the noise, he replied that it wasn't within quiet hours and he was entitled to run his loud, stinky generator. Yes, that may be his right but why is he a camp host if he's going to sit inside an RV or tent watching TV when the rest of us are trying to experience nature? Poor choice of a camp host.
