About Molly Brown

Named after the "unsinkable" Molly Brown on the Titanic, Molly Brown Campground, on the eastern shore of Turquoise Lake, sits in a shaded lodgepole pine forest. 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. She became wealthy from her husband's mining success and took on a life as a philanthropist, socialite and activist.

You can’t beat the views at this place! The hosts are so nice, and so helpful. There is a beautiful trail that runs along a big portion of the lake, and you can also drive around the entire lake, stopping at scenic lookouts or different hiking trails. It was too windy to paddle board while we were there, but that seems like it would be fun!

Nice quiet spot. Bigger rigs will have a tough time getting in the first loop. Water apparently just got turned back on so that’s nice.

Great campground near Turquoise Lake and Leadville. Beautiful scenery. Pristine vault toilets. The lakefront sites are spacious and spread out (hard to reserve!). Weather had cold rain during our trip in late June but still really enjoyed it. Going back in 2022!

We tried several new places this year and this by far was the best experience we had. Be sure to reserve a lakefront site. Ours was site 14. Plenty of views and privacy. Our camp host was one of the best. Attentive, friendly, and they were on top of their game. As we drove around looking at all of the sites, they are spread out better than most campgrounds. Turquoise Lake did not disappoint either. Lots of bike trails and beach areas for activities or relaxing and connecting with nature in beautiful Colorado. We will be back!
