We lucked into our spot via cancellation and couldn’t have been happier. The campgrounds were clean and beautiful. The views were stunning. The camp hosts were so friendly and kept the grounds at 100%. Literally saw them clean the bathroom a few times a day and was so grateful. This is easily the best campgrounds and experience we have ever stayed at and had.

The camp hosts were great! The bathrooms were super clean. We had enough water for our crew and the fresh snow and little ponds were nice for the dogs.

We had a great experience at Baby Doe. Our campsite was available and clean when we arrived. It was a quiet area. The host was friendly, helped us with firewood and kept the bathrooms extremely clean. IF I could manage to make a reservation closer to the lake next time, that would be ideal. But, we saw plenty of the lake on our hike. Will absolutely go to this area gain!

Great access to Turquoise Lake. The sites are not the most private because they are fairly close together. There was plenty of shade from the pine trees. The chipmunks were very entertaining. Some of the spaces are quite small, but mine was fine for my tent. The hosts keep the campsite restrooms clean. Good drinking water was available.
