This is a great campground in large part due to the hostess, Trudy!! Even though she is only one person (most hosts are a man & woman combo), the campground and bathrooms are pristine. She is diplomatic while enforcing the rules so everyone enjoys their experience. There are many campground choices, but we look forward to staying at the Silver Dollar because of Trudy!

A spur of the moment end of season camping trip was wonderful. Very few people about as there was snow on the ground from the previous week. The campsite was clean and amenities good. Turquoise lake is stunning, we will be back next year for sure.

Leadville is such a beautiful area. The sites at Silver Dollar were well-spaced. Ours was a bit tricky to back into, but tons of space once we were set up, it was great
