Very nice site, clean when we arrived. Bathrooms were also very clean. Biking, hiking, and access to the water were also very good. I highly recommend Molly Brown.

The campground was beautiful and well taken care of. We truly enjoyed our site and would absolutely camp there again. The downside was that the water was shut off while we were camping which was difficult. This fact was well publicized on the website so future campers could be prepared and bring extra water.

Beautiful campground, good shade all-round. Upper loop has no visual of lake; lower loop has some lake views.
We were hassled by a tent camper for using our generator during 'approved, non-quiet hours.' That said, we were also graced by some really nice tent campers. There will be generators - if you don't want to hear them, camp in a 'tent only' campground.
We have two sea kayaks (50-65 lb.) w/ kayak dollies. Road from campsite #26 was good; however, the last 100 yds from road to shoreline was scattered rocky and difficult, even w/ dollies. We weren't sure if it was a good idea to leave kayaks at shore unattended over night ...so we didn't.
Altitude affected my (Denver native) wife - while not aerobically strong, she's in good shape and said that the altitude kicked her butt - she noticed it most when pulling kayaks from water back to campsite.
Great to see all the free-range kids on bicycles riding throughout the campground.
Lots of beetle kill mitigation happening around the campgrounds but not IN the campgrounds.
Camp hosts were incredibly pleasant and helpful.
Sadly, amazed @ the number of campsites reserved but un-occupied. There's got to be a better reservation and cancellation system.
Interesting that part of this review process is to rank cell phone coverage ...we're camping, turn the phones off!
