The camp facilities are exceptionally maintained. I applaud the camp host for her excellent attention to detail. She is to be commended.

This is a beautiful, clean shady campground perfecr for families! It is a short walk to the lake and close to areas to cycle, mountain bike and 4WD trails. We enjoyed visiting Leadville and spent a bit of time at the Matchless Mine.

Good campsite, was close to town which is why we picked it. Too many tree's though...could not see the mountains. But, great location to hiking and biking trails!

Camp host accused my group of defacing federal property. A forest crew came and replaced the site number marker chiseled the marker number to be 23 instead of the 22 it was made with and painted the number, normal camp maintenance activity. The camp host did not know this happened so instead of asking our group what happened she ran to her boss and told her boss we painted the number yellow, her boss referred it to the enforcement officer who promptly showed up and minced no words when he told us we had committed a federal crime by painting the number. We told him it was the maintenance crew and he of course did not believe us, however took the time to check it out, and guess what we were telling the truth and we don’t pack yellow paint in our camp gear. All of this could have been avoided if she had asked if anyone knew why the post had yellow paint in it, instead she assumed we painted it and in the process defaced federal property. There are lots of other camp grounds around. I would stay there and avoid this place.

Early mornings the reflection off the lake of the mountains was awesome.

7 minute walk to the lake makes this campground awesome!

Friendly host. Cleanest restrooms I’ve ever seen at a campground.
