The camp hosts are very attentive and friendly. The camp ground was very clean, and the bathrooms were the cleanest we've seen.

One of the best spots in the campground, the lake views were spectacular. The bathrooms were immaculate, I saw the camp host checking on them at least twice a day possibly more. Wonderful spot near Leadville

Our stay at Baby Doe was the most incredible experience. The camp hosts, Maria and Chris were the hardest working hosts we have witnessed in all our camping. They went out of their way to make sure our spot was the best. When we showed up, we mentioned we needed a couple of extra nights. Maria came to us and arranged for us to stay in a spot that had been cancelled. It was absolutely perfect. Baby Doe has become our favorite all time campground. The hiking around Turquoise Lake is Breathtaking and the Mountain Bike Trails are accessible directly from the campground.
