Great campground with sites spread out well. White Star Campground is in a good location, central to Twin Lakes, Buena Vista, and Leadville.

Great campground. Camp host was very nice. We did find out after arriving that sit 51 & 52 are reversed in the reservation map. Actually worked out for us as the other site had asked to swap.

Beautiful scenery, clean facilities and a friendly check-in from the camp host letting us know we could use the fire pit and that our camping fee included day-use of the nearby lake. The only downside was they don’t allow anything to be hung from the trees at the campground including hammocks which we typically enjoy while camping. Booking was super easy and I would happily stay here again.
