left a day early because of weather. Other than that, we had a good stay. Took a bit of advantage to catch up on my reading. The camp hosts were great and helpful. We Will be back next year.

We've been to Baby Doe 4 summers in a row! I LOVE it there. The hosts are always really helpful and run a great campground. The most recent hosts for 2020 and 2021, Roy & Sarah, have been THE BEST! They stop in to see if we need anything or want more info on the area + they keep the bathrooms (vault toilets) so clean!!! We always go into Leadville to get pizza and ice cream and the campground toilets are always way cleaner than the restaurant toilets. Seriously.
The lake is always amazing with stellar views of the mountains and then the stars at night. It's my happy place!
