One of the best camping experiences in recent years! Peace, quiet, no loud people, no bright lights. People were having fun, enjoying playing games, listening to music, and by 10 p.m., all was quiet.

We love this relaxing local lake getaway! It's one of our favorite spots to unwind where we can paddle board, fish, hike, Jeep and visit a couple cute nearby mountain towns. It's become a yearly tradition to camp at Baby Doe – the campground and sites are great.

Lovely campground, clean bathrooms, in a beautiful setting. There's a communal pathway to the lake that can be used so you don't walk through the campsites close to the water. Turquoise lake is a gorgeous body of water with an easy walking path on the east side of the lake by the campground.

Many years my family has gathered at Turquoise Lake for tons of fun. Not do much this year. After the slaughter of the forest we still come back. This year no water, which we knew so it wasn’t a problem. The camp host we only saw once to collect for extra vehicles. The fire pit was never cleaned out. The vibe was just not friendly.
