We had campsite 1, Which offered some privacy, but the tent pad was awful, on a slope. Had to move a good distance from our table to have a flat space for the tent. I also noticed other campsites were way too close together and also had bad tent pads, sloping and too small. The restroom was NOT clean. The reason I gave a fair rating was because we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Few other people came due to rain I suppose.

I love this campground and go there as often as possible. Itβs a small campground, quiet as a rule, clean. Camp host is nice.
βConsβ this year are: no water available, no dump station for RV available in the park, although there is one open in Leadville. The water level of the lake is very low, which is sad.

Itβs not a very good tent site, no even ground. Not even sure if hammocks would work.

The lake is very low. The best hike we found was to Timberline Lake just ready yourself for a hard walk up to the lake and take lots of water, that high altitude lake is great.
