exceptional camping in Colorado. Lot's of great hiking wildlife and fly fishing. The night shy is awesome and it's quiet. The perfect getaway for the family.

Beautiful and very well maintained campground. The hosts were wonderful and had plenty of firewood for purchase. Wonderful views, quiet site and awesome overlook trail!

The host was great. Campgrounds were clean and well spaced apart, fire grills provided. Only downside is the close proximity to the damm and all the vehicle traffic early in the morning.

Very clean restrooms. Quiet campground during the week, and all the other campers we met were polite and friendly. It was our first experience tent camping and we had a marvelous time. My kids loved being able to splash in the river and enjoyed the hiking and rocks to climb on all around the canyon. Husband enjoyed all the fishing. Definitely want to return!

First and foremost the campground hosts were outstanding. Friendly enough to feel that from the moment I was at my site, I had a contact for any issue that could arise; sensitive enough to realize we mostly just wanted to be alone. We had a very pleasant stay at site 13. Restrooms clean. I was annoyed that work was being done at the dam and one morning awoke to the beep beep beep of heavy machinery and semi trucks.
