Really nice campground with plenty of nice sites. Campground host nice fellow. Loved that the Colorado Trail passes right through. Other nice trails in the area...you don't have to drive to get to a trailhead!

Out tent site in loop F02 was not great because the area intended for a tent was on a hill and not flat at all. We ended up pitching our tent in the parking space in front of our car. Also, the nearby vault toilet was old and full of flies, so you wanted to be in and out of there fast. In general our spot was quiet but you could hear cars on the road below heading through town. Gorgeous views nearby looking south during the sunset!!

Beautiful secluded campground at the foot of Mt. Elbert overlooking the Twin Lakes. Colorado Trail runs through the CG and leads to the Continental Divide Trail and South Mt. Elbert Trail. Dry camping, but great for hiking or just plain relaxing. Our favorite summer getaway.

Great site with SUPER clean bathrooms. Easy to access Twin Lakes, but tucked away from the road. Would visit again.

I have always loved this campground. The only issue we have had is that on weekends, the nearby dispersed campers all come down and use the vault toilet facilities in loop A——at all times of the day and nite very much disturbing the near by campers. During the week , this is not a problem.
The campground host keeps the sites and facilities very clean!

Nice site. Partial view of Twin Lakes. Site just BARELY accommodated a 38 ft trailer and an adjacent truck. There are a lot of boondocking sites available in the vicinity, but we prefer to have certainty of a spot when arriving. Biked CDT both directions, around Twin Lakes, even Columbine Road during our stay. Biked much of the route of the Leadville 100 race, but stayed off the route on race day

The area is beautiful, and our campsight was shady and comfortable. Our only issue was our neighbors across the road who were drinking and making noise late into the night. It would be nice if quiet hours were respected and enforced.

Clean bathroom in D Loop. Great site split over 3 levels (parking, eating, sleeping) with a ramp between all the levels. Would definitely go again!

This is a wonderful campground! Although there is no running water, the pit toilets were super clean and not crowded. The views of the lakes and mountains were amazing! We would stay here again.
