Father Dyer

Beautiful quiet campground with plenty of shade and privacy. The lake is just a short 5-10 min walk from the campground. It was mid June and I was concerned about mosquitoes. We did see a few, but with the bug spray on they didn’t touch us. Also, there is plenty to do and see in nearby Leadville.

Good weather with just enough wind to help keep the mosquitos at bay. Campground host does an exceptional job at keeping camping sites and facilities clean.

It is a very nice campground and the bathrooms are maintained better than some. The firewood is a bit steep ($), but perhaps that is like everything else right now. Our biggest disappointment was that this campground allows RVs, so be prepared for generators constantly ruining the peace of the natural forest if you stay here. There were several running at one time producing a significant amount of noise pollution, more that what we have in the suburbs of Denver! We will probably not return here for that reason.

Campsite was very nice and clean. The host was courteous and they cleaned the bathroom frequently throughout the day. The Turquoise Lake area is very nice and we hiked around the lake.

Beautiful campground! The campground was very clean and quiet. The campground host was pleasant and helpful. I will definitely come back and recommend this campground to others.

Well managed. Quiet. Clean facilities.

Campground and bathrooms were clean and maintained. Loved having trees on the campsite.

Our site 10, was a spacious well shaded and clean. We will definitely return. We have a 33’ 5th wheel

I booked this neck of the woods to escape the summer heat and boy did it deliver! It was cold at night and got warmish in the day for a little while (in the 30's at night and low 60's with wind in the daytime). It was never warm enough for us to swim in the lake and the wind seemed to blow pretty hard across that water making it tough to paddle board. The campgrounds were very quiet and clean. The host was friendly. There was a trail (by campsite 17) to walk over to the road that goes to the day-use area by the lake. Lots of tall pines all over the campgrounds, so not much of a view, but has that great feeling of being in the woods. We got pretty good cell service (Google Fi). The Leadville 100 race was going on when we camped and we got to watch the runners go by the lake. The lake has some nice sandy-ish areas with small rocks that my 3 year old loved to dig into with his trucks. I wouldn't go here without expecting cold temperatures (layers!!!) and planning carefully for the time of year. We loved it!

Our stay at Father Dyer was wonderful. We truly appreciate the camp host, Marsha. She is very helpful and takes great care of the campground. I must say, Father Dyer has the cleanest bathrooms! Remarkably clean! Thanks, Marsha!!
