It's absolutely beautiful here. Definitely stop in at the local General Store, it has a certain charm you can't find anywhere else.

The camp hosts there really keeps the area clean! The vault toilets are cleaned a couple of times a day, I believe and are always stocked. We love this campground and the views. There are so many things to do in this area. The only down side this year was the lack of water and the dump station. But you the recreation.gov did a great job of letting us know about this up front.
We would love to see a sign at the 'boat ramp' below the campsite asking people not to park too close to the 'ramp'. We had to carry our canoe a lot further to get in and out of the water this year because people left their cars parked right at the top of the ramp.

The campground was clean, the restrooms were clean and the campground hosts, Bob and his wife, were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. We enjoyed hiking the Colorado Trail and loved the little store in Twin Lakes.

Great campsite! The host was extremely nice, welcoming and helped me find a first come first served site. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. I’m definitely going back!

The manager/Rangers were quite annoying. Constantly driving by and commenting on how people were camping. They drove by what seemed like every hour.
Campground had a lot of rules. Which I get, kinda... I realize out group should have done dispersed camping instead. Won’t make that mistake again.
Water spigots where all covered and taped off. Seemed unnecessary especially if they did that for COVID.. the bathrooms were open. Way less sanitary than a water spigot. It’s not like people congregate around a water spigot. There was even another family camping in a tent and they needed more water. Couldn’t get any AFTER PAYING for that campsite.

The hosts are awesome. They greeted us upon arrival, was friendly and delivered wood to our campsite. They checked the campground multiple times a day. Bathrooms were very clean! Other campers were friendly and followed rules. Great place to camp short term.

Clean and mostly quiet. Great view, looks like the Alps. Took paddleboard on the smooth lake.
