Campground is clean. Most campers are respectful. Even though there are a lot of sites, you do feel your privacy. There was a guy playing a guitar and singing, a few dogs that joined in. The only gripes I have are:
the washboard road to get there.
$9 daily fee on top of what you pay for reservations and booking fee and
Random generator running during quiet hours.
But, I can get past this for the hiking trails, fishing, moose, snd heron.

On Monday, July 24, 2023 I reserved 030 at the Lodgepole campground near Fairplay, CO for Friday nite July 28-29, 2023. When we arrived the site was reserved for someone else for July 28-30. The camp hosts were very uninformed about what we should do. The man told us to set up camp since the others had not arrived but his wife told us we could not have the site. Both of them said they had never had this happen before and didn't know what to do. So we left and drove back to Denver. very frustrated and disappointed! I had proof of our reservation on my phone but they would not accept it.
