On one hand our family very much enjoyed having a fun experience at May Queen Campground at the west end of Turquoise Lake near Leadville, CO. The sights were spectacular and the grounds well maintained. I was notified by the campground prior to coming there that there would be no water available and we came with a spare water container to help get us through. However, when we ran out of water we resorted to going to the other campgrounds around Turquoise Lake to get water from their campgrounds. Why was it that all of the other campgrounds had water supplied to them, but not May Queen?

The site didn’t have water which we knew in advance but the amount of drive through traffic was really surprising. Non-stop cars/trucks seemed to drive in to the end and then loop back out without ever setting up at a camp site. Far less relaxing than other places we’ve camped. We loved the lake but I would explore other options if we planned to return.

Great location with nice campsites. Need to fix the water issue! A dump would be nice. Time to upgrade the bathroom. Good fishing, but crowded. Great hiking and biking. Overall a wonderful place to camp.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
