Father Dyer

The campground was beautifully kept, the hosts were attentive to our needs and the entire experience was amazing! Thank you so much!

We love staying at Turquoise Lake and especially at Father Dyer campground! Always impeccably clean with great camp hosts!

This is a small quiet campground that has mature pine trees that provides nice shade. It is well maintained with clean pit toilets. There is a temporary water storage tank, since the piping system is broken right now. It is a quick walk down to Turquoise Lake with a nice trail. Keep your dog leashed in the campground to be a good neighbor.

This is one of the cleanest campgrounds ever. The host, Marcia, is very friendly and helpful.
This is definitely one of my favorite campgrounds.

loved it! Clean and quite!

clean and quite campground

Great spot a bit further from the lake than some camp sites. Lots of space for big groups.

Quiet campground, Campsites are nicely spaced apart, clean bathrooms and a short walk to Turquoise Lake. Also just a short drive into Leadville

Beautiful campground, very clean bathrooms. Nice walk to the lake for fishing. Host was a little grumpy and non-welcoming the morning after my friends arrived at their site, which was right across from the host, at around 930pm. They simply parked their trailer.. no loud music or honking. it was a pull-through, but it took a couple of times to get it in the right spot. The wife directed the husband to pull forward or back, but other than that, no other noise. Isn't that kind of what you expect in a campground? The host walked to their camp, and said in a very condescending, motherly tone, "I'm very disappointed in you, how you came in so late and loud last night." After that, she was ok... I don't recommend getting a site close to that host, even if you're quiet, non-rowdy campers.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights tent camping with our two grandsons, ages 6 and 3 1/2. Our campsite was spacious and well situated with a restroom nearby and an easy half mile hike to Turquoise Lake. After breaking camp on morning two we drove to the west end of the lake and hiked a short part of the Turquoise Lake trail as well as a walk along the lake shore. The boys enjoyed skipping rocks and learning how to make a cairn. For those looking for a robust hike the trail spans miles along the lake and through woods with great lake and mountain views. The historic town of Leadville is a short drive to the east and definitely worth a visit.
