My only suggestion is that a sign be posted with the name of the campground at the cement bridge. I spend a long time trying to find the campground because I assumed if there was no signage it was the wrong way to go. It was very frustrating.

So we actually left early due to the rain. But overall it was a great experience. Wonderful site. The host was amazingly helpful. Wish we would have stayed the night. But the rain was a bit more than we expected.

We enjoyed our experience at the May Queen. Glad to see Turquoise lake was at nominal level. Our site was clean Dan our host was fun and friendly. We will come back next year.

This small campground is ideal for getting away from all the hubbub of the larger campgrounds. Site 19 is well shaded. Turquoise Lake water is higher this year, and we enjoyed fishing there. Turquoise lake is gorgeous.
Regarding the national forest maintenance- Please, please, please spend some money and provide water at the campgrounds. These are lovely campgrounds. The fee for a spot to camp with no water, electricity, or waste dump is honestly ridiculous.
