Father Dyer

The campsites were very well taken care of. The vault toilets were very clean even on a very busy weekend

Campground host Marsha does a great job year after year (this is her 20th year.) The toilets are kept very clean and stocked all the time. She sees that the campground rules are followed and educates customers. The campground itself is very nice and quiet with excellent shade and only a short walk to Turquoise Lake.

It is a very noisy campground and the trail to the lake was closed down, so you have to walk along the road to go down to the lake. If you are staying over the July 4th expect fireworks until 3 am, there is a parking lot a mile away where the local rednecks like to shoot off their life savings. I never saw a National Park ranger which was a bit concerning when some teens across from us decided to leave their campfire going to go see the fireworks in town.On the positive side, the restrooms were very clean and the campground host was excellent.

The veteran host of this CG kept the place tidy … especially the vault toilets ! Never saw any sooo clean ! Sites are treed and spacious.
Place was quiet and all campers respectful .
Nice trail for walking or biking along the lake. Dump station nearby .no Verizon service .
Only complaint is about the day use area that is only open open 8-8 so no drive access to fish the lake early morning or evening. I had to gather up my gear and take the 15 minute trail to get to the lake. You’d have to be camping in one of the CGs right on the lake.

Great area to explore, Father Dyer camp ground was very clean and well maintained. the camp host was very friendly and the vault toilets were super clean.

The campground and restrooms were very clean.

Great camping spot. Lots of shade, close to the lake!

The camp host was great, offering great suggestions, sites and bathrooms were clean. Overall an excellent weekend

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.
