Stayed at site 14 for 2 nights. Overall recommend. Campground was quiet. Sites and vault toilets were clean. Tent area for site was very nice. The parking area was slightly sloping, but not too bad.

Marsha, the host, came to our site and gave us our pass and then proceeded to tell us some of the advantages of the pass. She keeps the restrooms very neat, as well as tidies up each campsite after people have vacated. We had site # 23 and it was a perfect site for us, fairly easy to back into. We spent time in Leadvile wandering around seeing the sights and visiting the Temple Israel Jewish Museum (FREE), well worth the time to learn about the Hebrew community in early Leadville history. Several of the other museums in the area were having staffing problems so their hours were somewhat curtailed.

Heavily wooded campground between Leadville and Turquoise Lake.

The campground is the best maintained that I have ever visited. It is very obvious that she takes her responsibility seriously. The host is friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable on the local sites/trails to see/visit.

Spent two nights with 2 kids, ages 4 and 7 and two doggies. Easy walk to the lake from the smallish campground, which had big sites and lots of shade - made for an great spot. Overall, very family friendly with clean out-houses and easy trash access. Only negative is road boise echoing in from Leadville down valley in the early morning hours. We would definitely stay here again.

We have visited Fr. Dyer for many years. Marsha is a wonderful host and keeps the grounds and the restrooms very clean. We love Turquoise Lake and Fr. Dyer is our favorite campground

Our Camp Host did an excellent job communicating conditions and requirements for our stay. She was visibly active checking on camp conditions, cleaning the facilities, and was a pleasure meeting.
