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.

I have been in national forests for over 40 years and this experience is by far the worst I have ever encountered. Last spring I made a reservation for White Star on Labor Day. I could not reserve beyond Labor Day because the entire campground becomes First Come First Served after Labor Day. I have reserved in this way at this campground numerous times in the past,then staying up to 14 days on the site of my choice,the site I reserved well in advance.
This year,with no notice to me ,campground management,Rec.Gov, and the forest service allowed someone to reserve my site the day after Labor Day! When I complained to the forest service i was referred to campground management which never returned my recorded phone inquery. I eventually heard back from the forest service that the entire campground had been reopened for reservation,whereupon I found that weekends were solidly booked. I view the management of White Star as having stolen my vacation.

It has been 4 years since we were able to stay at the White Star Campground in Twin Lakes, CO. We have been going there for over 50 years. It was great. The other campers were so nice and the fishing was super. There is no other place we would rather be when camping than Twin Lakes.
