This site is good BUT it's really only for campers with small tents because there aren't any good spots for a large, family size tent unless you set it up in the grass between the parking lot and the actual camp site. If you do that you're close to the road but the area isn't super noisy if that's you're only option. Otherwise May Queen is a nice campground.

We came here with a Scout Troop from Wisconsin. We found the sites quiet, wooded, and plenty of room for 8 with hammocks and tents. The trails are great. Thank you!

The camping was OK. However, it rained the whole time I was there and the temerature dropped considerably. It was hard to find the campground, even though I had looked it up beforehand on a map. The 'MayQueen' sign for the turn to the campground was covered by tree branches that had grown in front of it. Luckily, there was a car driving by and the driver told me where to go. If I had gone much farther on the Turquise lake road, it would have gotten harder for me to navigate the rough conditions in my 2WD car towing a teardrop camper. I did manage to hike along the Turquise lake trail that starts at the end of the campground which was nice (inbetween the torrential rain storms). At nine thousand feet, its best to check the weather before camping here and hope for the best.
