The campground is beautiful, well spaced out and well maintained. Our camp host Laura was wonderful.

Great campground and campsite, all sites decently spread out but be aware most of the sites inside the one way road are angled like a diagonal pull in not back in, getting trailer backed in was not easy.

Great campground that’s about a 10 minute walk to the lake but we didn’t mind since we were protected from the strong winds. Very shaded and peaceful.

We had a great time. Sites are pretty tight for travel trailers but we made it work.

Campground was very nice, lots of shade and most sites were pretty roomy and not right on top of each other. You could hike to the lake easily, but a very short drive if hauling paddle boards or something. Close to Leadville if you want to pop into town and also giving good cell coverage.

The camp host was less than desirable so I will leave it at that. Was yelling at people on a utv that was lost and she didn't help them to where to go ride. In my years of camping I have NEVER experienced a host like that.

Well kept and clean campground. Great location and sites are well laid out. Just sad to see so many sites reserved but vacant.

Great site. Lots of room between the other sites and a bit off the road which is a plus. Was able to fit a 6 person tent down fine despite claims it was hilly.
