What Guests Are Saying
Molly Brown campground is praised for its beautiful location, spacious sites, and excellent amenities, such as clean restrooms and attentive hosts. Campers appreciate the stunning sunsets, proximity to hiking trails, and activities like paddleboarding and biking. However, a recurring concern is the lack of potable water, which requires guests to bring their own supplies.

Huge sites, host is very friendly, and cool even in the dead of summer due to the altitude. Recreation.gov was also GREAT in helping with a reservation modification mistake we made.

Extremely dissatisfied with the lack of concern over βsmoldering/ even flaming fire pits β. Checked in at 3:00 -guests checkout is noonβ my site # 15 had a smoldering pit!! Contacted the hostsβshe Replied β yes, my husband has commented that SEVERAL sites had not put their fires completely out-one even had flames π₯
This is totally unexceptable in a National forest campground-with the constant, continuous reports of fires throughout the American west!!!!
Possible solution -have hosts report those in violation (very easily done since all sites are now by reservation) FINE then $$ and refuse their request for future camping reservations !!!! WAKE UP βrecreation.gov

Our experience was hampered by weather (very cold, then rainy and windy) But the site was very spacious and clean, and the campground host Rick was very personable, friendly and helpful. Turquoise Lake is very scenic, with a nice beach and nature trail. The campground as a whole is too forested and dark for my taste; I prefer more open, sunny spaces. But it was wonderfully quiet, which we appreciated.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
