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
