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.

Lovely hosts, clean toilets. And of course an amazing campground with lots of shade trees and a short walk to the lake.

Campground is nice and spaced out enough with shade. The best part is the proximity to Turquoise Lake. Stunning views, great weather and plenty of activities without it feeling crowded. My new favorite location.

We stayed at Molly Brown for one week and had a wonderful time! The campground hosts are so friendly and informative. They clean and monitor the bathrooms (vaults) twice per day. The entire campground is extremely well maintained and clean. We will return next year! Thank you so very much!
