What Guests Are Saying
White Star Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, friendly camp hosts, and beautiful, well-maintained sites. 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 campground! Most of the sites are large and have great views of surrounding peaks and the lakes. Lots to do around this area, hikes, walks, kayaking and fishing. Didn't like the stairs to my campsite and no bear boxes. Made it tedious going back and forth to my car for food. However, I will go back!

A beautiful place. Camp host was very helpful and nice. Went into the town of Twin Lakes and had dinner and it was great.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds I've been to. Even without a lake view spot (24), the surrounding mountains and fall leaves were gorgeous. I didn't even realize it's at the entrance to Independence Pass so we had a beautiful drive fall leaf peeping. That combined with a ride on the Leadville train made for an amazing weekend. The campground was clean, bathrooms included and the spots were spaced out and roomy. Our tent spot could've easily accommodated an RV (no connections though). I never camp anywhere twice but I will come back here. Next time hopefully at #10 which is a gorgeous spot.

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