The campsites were up on a hill and couldn't hold as many people as it said it could. Luckily we had someone go ahead to try and get a first come first serve campsite. If we hadn't done that, the camping would have been terrible....

Great campsite - clean, level with both shade and sunshine. Reservations were easy and the campground host was very nice. Only advice is that the table tops are pretty worn out.....bring a table cloth. Top attaction is the large trout in the river.....fishing was best early in the morning and after 6pm.

We have been camping at Spillway for nearly a decade now. It is our favorite place to camp in CO. Fishing was great and our site was incredible. We moved to a new site for the first time in 8 years and loved the privacy and space it provided. Camp hosts were also excellent.
