Campground hosts were very welcoming and helpful. They helped make our stay one of the best we've experienced at a Forest Service campground.

Lakeview Campground is highly praised for its beautiful location, clean facilities, and friendly hosts. Campers appreciate the well-maintained restrooms and spacious, shaded sites, along with proximity to hiking trails and stunning views of Twin Lakes and Mt. Elbert. While some have noted issues with water availability and occasional noise, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

We love this campground. The hosts are super nice and the amenities are always super clean and well maintained. Bonus is that we did a gorgeous 5 mi hike and were able to leave right from our site!
The ONLY downside is that this campground attracts some weird people sometimes. 2 out of the 4 times I’ve been here we have encountered uncomfortable things at night. First time was a guy yelling at people in our loop to “shut the f*** up” over and over even when people quieted down and were responding politely. Second time (summer 2022) my wife and I heard a full on domestic dispute. This went on from 1-3am. When we heard a woman screaming over and over at the top of her lungs we called Leadville police, packed up in the middle of the night with very little sleep and drove back to Denver. We did not feel safe to stay there in our tent.
So, this was our top camping spot and now I doubt we will go back :(. Too bad. I know it’s not the hosts fault at all so I don’t blame them but it’s the reason I can’t give this spot 5 stars. I won’t go back.

Sites well space out, clean and quiet campground. Host was around without being around - nice guy who keeps a really nice campground.
Huge campground with plenty of space for kids to play and right off the Colorado trail. Really liked it here and will definitely return.
