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.

We love coming to this campsite. It is beautiful, close to the lake, and has a nice trail for walking and riding bikes around the lake. The site is also about 10-15 minutes from Leadville which is always a fun little mining town to walk around, eat, and shop.
