Quiet, friendly, clean and welcoming campground. Deb, the campground host was accessible, friendly, and kept the campground spotless. This was by far my best experience with national Forest campgrounds in Colorado. Most campsites are within an a quarter mile of turquoise lake and just a few miles from downtown Leadville.

Some nice big sites. We were unable to stay because we were evacuated for the Willow fire. We were well informed and no panic was caused.
