This was an excellent experience. The grounds are very well kept, and the gentleman working there was professional and courteous. I will go back again in the future. Very nice spot!

We had an enjoyable 2 day trip with friends. Our campsites were clean and roomy. The camp host was helpful. We hope to return sometime.

Site 43 is a nice site in terms of neighbors. If you have a trailer, the front end will need to be extended considerably.
The site is in need of several tons of fill to lessen the drop off.

Great site! Great campground host! I was wonderful being there when there were not many people camping. I have been to this CG when in the height of the summer and it was a bit bonkers. This was a chill relaxing weekend with the woman I love, and it was perfect!

It's a pleasant hilly campground with ample spaces between sites. My only problem that i've never encountered with several federal campgrounds in Colorado was some rowdy young adults running thru the campground yelling and flashing lights at other tents and campers about 11pm.
The federal and Colorado campgrounds have really jacked up rates and added special charges the last few years. Like i saw in Michigan twenty years ago, raising rates drives out the family campers whose incomes pale in comparison to Colorado and federal employee incomes. A relatively empty campground invites bad behaviors and crime, and the the price increases reduce demand with less overall revenue to support the campgrounds.

We were tent camping so the worst part was finding level ground for our site. There were many others we saw with the same issue. We appreciate the fact sites were spaced out though our neighbors were not looking for the peacefulness of the great outdoors experience with their big screen TV blasting and their generator working none stop. Bathroom were fairly decent. Host was friendly. Not to far from Leadville for a quick run into town.

Beautiful campground with large sites and easy access to the lake.
Unfortunately the restrooms were badly smelling although they were clean

The site had plenty of space and trees for hammocks if you have webbing straps. The lake was a short walk from site 23.
