beautiful campsite, a kind and helpful host , close to the water , made our experience a wonderful. The best thing was that there were no generators running, so the camp ground was beautifully quiet. I would definitely go there again and recommend it.

I loved that May Queen was so close to the lake for kayaking! I also like that some sites are first come, first served. I actually had already paid for site 4, but ended up paying for FF site 26 because I needed 4 nights and could only reserve for 2 online. The vault toilets were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. The campground was quiet at night and the camphost, Dan, was very nice an helpful. I was in Leadville for my daughter's 100 mi race and was so thrilled to know that the runners ran by my campsite TWICE! :-)

Beautiful lake and outstanding campsite with great lake access and mountain views. Restroom was clean, host was friendly and helpful, good supply of firewood for sale. Unfortunately drinking water was not available, but we knew that ahead of time from the website so we planned accordingly.

Camp host is already retired. You guys just do not know it. Saw him once during a four night stay. Ill informed and looked like he would rather be somewhere else. Campground still has no water - after 4 years, I think. Something about a busted pipe. One would thing that even the USFS could fix a broken pipe in four years.

- 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.
