We really were lucky regarding the weather. Cool enough during the night that there were nearly no mosquitos and in the low 70's with a gentle breeze during the day. Great weather for hiking in both the mining district and around the lake.

This campground is a short walk to the lake but also a bit sheltered from wind, which is nice.
If you fish, please pack your trash out! We collected so much fishing line, lures, and hooks.

This is a great campground for several reasons.
It's nicely located with a trail to the lake and 20 minutes from Leadville.
The camp host cares about the place and is on top of all the things - the bathrooms were spotless.
This would be a great spot for a family...lots to do, in the shade and the lake is close by.

Campground was beautiful. Our site had plenty fo shade. The only complaint I have is that when making reservation, it read that we were allowed 2 vehicles and one RV. Upon arrival, host came around to collect for 2nd vehicle and showed me where it said on Rec. Gov that RV counted as a vehicle. It did not at the time. I think the site was updated after our reservation 6 months in advance. Marcia our camp host was very friendly and the bathrooms were super clean.

The site was fine, but the water issue really needs to be addressed. Either fix the water supply or reduce the fee, as this is a major amenity that isn't currently available.

Campground restrooms was very clean but there was no water and the dump station was closed.
