Visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, proximity to hiking trails, and stunning views, with many expressing a desire to return. While some noted noise from nearby roads and an increase in dog presence, these were minor concerns compared to the overall positive experience.

LOVED this campsite! Great views and everyone in the area was very polite and quiet. Bathrooms were clean and a short walk from camp. No bear box but you can store items in your car responsibly. We used a 4-person tent and found a decently level spot large enough off to the left. Plenty of room for more if needed.

Very secluded space. Our site even had a bridge with a little water stream running underneath. Very close to the lake as well.

I liked that the campsites were spaced apart. We enjoyed our hike to the general store as well as to the old hotel.

Really nice and peaceful campground. Would heavily recommend! The site we were at had about 10 stairs to get to the area but then you had a great view of the water and mountains around you. I would stay at this spot again in the future. Not too many bugs but if you hate them like me then wear bug spray. You can walk down to the lake in the evening and have a really peaceful time.

Campground was in a great spot (we were #54). Very close to Twin Lakes. Camp host was fantastic and definitely one of the cleanest vault toilets I’ve ever seen.

Extremely busy on the weekends. My hopes for a little peace and quiet were lost as there were a bazillion screaming children near my campsite. Host did not enforce quiet hours on Saturday night. Thankfully, I could climb the short hill adjacent to my site and park my chair and take in the beautiful view. At least that gave me a little more distance from all the noise. I still don’t understand why people don’t realize their voices carry outside. You don’t have to yell at the top of your lungs when conversing with your campmates.

We absolutely loved our stay at White Star. The campground was lovely. And, it was close to hiking trails, the lake and the town of Twin Lakes. While we were there, there was a convenient shuttle bus running to Leadville too. The most remarkable thing was that I accidentally left my ebike battery on the bumper of my van when I left and it fell off on the road. I realized the next day and was able to contact rec.gov and they contacted the camp host. Someone had turned in my battery and I was able to retrieve it!!! A $400 accident! I’m so grateful to White Star!💖💖💖🙏🏼
