Father Dyer has some of the best campsites I’ve ever been to. Large camp spots, the cleanest bathrooms ever, helpful can host and great location close to town and easy walk to Turquoise Lake. Looking forward to getting back ASAP.

This was our first time staying at this campground and we liked it a lot. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return. We struggled a bit getting our 30’ trAiler into our site due to rocks that had been placed across the road. You need to consider how someone will back there trailer into a site before placing rocks somewhere.

Nice campground, would only have been nicer if the rv dump was working to save that hassle.

I would give it 5 stars because of the host who is absolutely amazing and keeps everything so clean! But the lack of any kind of restrictions on what kind of generator can be used lowers the score. Maybe whoever makes the rules should spend an evening next to people with the loudest generator I ever heard and they would change some rules. It’s a shame that you’re going for some piece and quiet to the remote area just to find yourself in a generator land.

Clean, friendly and a great family location. Best campground at Turquoise Lake. Marsha, the campground host, simply the best ever. Also James, the campground host at Tabor Campground is also wonderful. They have made our stays this summer great as usual.

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!
