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.

The first thing I have to say - the site was excellent with space space space. This is one of the most important reason we choose this area. You do not feel cramped with your neighbor(s) on top of you. Second - access to the lake and hiking paths were excellent. Third access to out-of-camp sites were easily made, allowing us to explore other areas. Would highly recommend and we will return!

After camping for a couple of days, we were delighted to find the aquatic center nearby with an excellent pool and showers! Made our trip even better! Highly recommend!

Wonderful campground with spectacular views of lake. Nice to have sandy beaches. Fairly level or completely level campsites, nice fire ring and picnic table. Decent spacing between sites. Easy hiking trail starting from the campground along lake shore. Good finishing and kayaking/boating. Dump station is in the adjacent campground but easily accessible. Almost no cell phone service except at a few of the higher up campsites that are the furthest from the lake. At lower sites, you will have to walk to the highest points to get any type of cell phone connectivity. Will return.
