This was our favorite stay of a week long excursion to CO. The views on the drive in alone made it worthwhile! We enjoyed hiking, fishing and stargazing. The camp host was kind and attentive. He kept the vault toilets clean, made the campsites look new after each camper left and was a wealth of knowledge on the area. Be sure to stop in the general store at the top of the road. Very well stocked.
We will certainly return ASAP to Spillway!

Lovely campground, a longtime family favorite. Good hike to the top of the rocky overlook. Quiet in spite of being full. Love the canyon drive in and out to this beloved destination.

We were in site number 21. Beautiful spot lots of shade. The facilities are kept pristine. Campfire pit is swept out for the next guest and the bathrooms are as clean as you will find them. Camp host was a pleasure.

Campground was clean, camp host was friendly, and bathrooms were good. Overall a peaceful little campground. Can be quite the drive to the reservoir for some water fun.
