The campground offers access to boating, fishing, and hiking. The famous Molly Brown lived in the town of Leadville, just 5 miles east of the campground.

This campground was amazing! There were signs that helped make it easy to navigate and everyone was very friendly. The host when we were there (I think his name was Rick) was very helpful and welcoming. Even though our campsite was one of the further ones from the lake, it didn’t take more than 5 minutes to walk down to the water along a path through the campground. Bathrooms were spread out and not too far to walk to, and there was plenty of room for a large tent with extra room for chairs around the campfire at our site. Would definitely recommend! The lake was amazing and pretty quiet as not many people were out on it.
