I am not going to lie-after reading so many reviews on here about the camp hosts, I was a little worried about our trip, since we have two kids and a dog. We had an amazing trip and nothing but very positive interactions with the camp hosts. We were fortunate enough to get one of the campsites on the water. The campsite was very clean and the campground was well looked after. It was great to have trees around to provide some shade and it was a family friendly campground. We will be looking to come back next year and can’t recommend this campsite highly enough.

A favorite activity is to go into the town of Leadville and eat dinner at some of the restaurants there. Another option is to drive to Minturn on Highway 24 and eat lunch at the Minturn Saloon.
