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.

Loved it here! The staff is super attentive, I saw them driving around the camps throughout the entire day. The grounds are super clean. But the best part is the location. You are a literal 30 second walk to an absolutely stunning lake. You also get your own fire pit that comes with a grill on top. I felt like a cowgirl. Some of the negative reviews I saw are ridiculous 😂 You’re camping dude- this isn’t the Ritz but some could argue that it’s better.

Have stayed there many times and this is the worst experience I’ve ever had. No water (we knew that ahead of time). The fire pit was so full we could not start a fire. Someone before us had dug some ashes out and dumped them next to the pit. We were there four days and the restroom was not cleaned once. They only put new tp in. Saw the camp hosts one time as they drove through quickly. They never checked to see if we were in the right campsite or said hello. This used to be an adventure we looked forward to, but probably will not return.

We were in Site 14, just a short walk from the Lake, and an even shorter walk from the toilet. Nearly level site. We thought it was the best in the campground. No dump station at any of the campgrounds on Turquois Lake, but not such a problem that I would deduct a star. Beautiful sunsets to the west across the lake.

Very beautiful campground. Beautiful area with lots to do.
The camp sites were spaced out really nice between sites. Very clean bathrooms (a bit smelly.. but what can you expect.. they are a an outhouse 🫣😊)
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this campground highly recommend it!!

Molly Brown is close to the mountain biking trails, which are very nice. There's a slight view of the lake from this site, and a very short walk. It gets windy in the afternoon, so the sites right on the lake can be challenging, but this one was sheltered and had pretty good privacy.

Campground is easy to find and has great space in between camp sites. The host has plenty for firewood for purchase and the bathrooms were very clean.
