Got site 41 by driving in and finding it open (was not listed on website). Beautiful site, lots of trees, felt spacious and private. Quite a walk to the bathroom but otherwise ideal for what I was looking for.

Beautiful campground in the forest, not far from the boat ramp and water access. Large spots, nice large, cement picnic tables and metal fire rings. Great place to escape the summer heat in the mountains!

Clean campground. Private sites with lots of space and trees between them. Two men/women vault toilets on the loop, so one is still available while the other is cleaned. Lots of firewood available for sale for $10 a bundle—just put the cash in a slot. Short walk to lake with beautiful views. Water is very cold, but paddleboarding after the wind slowed down around 6pm was gorgeous! Our second time meeting friends here, and I’d do it again.

Beautiful campground. Site 36 is right next to the vault toilet so depends if you like that. Bathroom was in great shape and there were no smells despite being RIGHT next to it. We tent camped and had a little trouble finding flat ground for both of our small tents so we parked the car closer to the picnic table and created a barrier between the bathrooms and our tents. Great shade, lots of hammock trees and felt private enough for sure. Very peaceful being back from the activity at the lake but still easy to get to (2 min drive) for a SUP put in. Or you can walk or bike there easily as well. Host was great and pleasant. Firewood onsite at host site $10 cash put in mailbox.

Camp site was great, camp host was excellent. However, there was a camper that ran a generator non-stop. Needs to be something done about these.

National Forest site, remote and beautiful. The forest seemed unhealthy. The trails were clear.
Our res was in a site unsuitable for our rig, but the camphost immediately moved us to a spectacular one, huge and level.
We had adequate cell and internet. Leadville was only 15 minutes away, with everything we needed.
The camphost told us there is no dump facility for the San Lius forest,so we had to go to the Leadville Sanitation department and pay $20 to dump, and $10 to fill our fresh tanks.
