No host while we were there, but another one stocked firewood and left a money can so you could collect it. Bathrooms were well maintained. Flat spots for tents are challenging to findon site 27, but not impossible. It's pretty close to the bathroom without being next to it, but very far from the water pump.

The restrooms were very well maintained. The campground was very quiet. The trash bins were very full by the end of the week.

Great location, clean campsite and bathrooms, good time overall. No camp host at all when we were there and a truck only came by one evening (out of the 3 we were there) to sell firewood which was a bummer.

The experience at Lodgepole (Jefferson Lake, Fairplay Colorado) was great. It is a bit inaccessible due to rocky roads and might be a little bit risky if you don't have an SUV. In the end it was well worth the trip due to its isolated nature. One is in the lap of nature with a lake just 10 mins drive away. Night time views a really good.
It is isolated so no bath but there's a restroom minus the plumbing so good to carry some sanitizing wipes.
