Fantastic campground! Sites were beautiful, clean, and well taken care of. The bathrooms were spotless, complete with little rugs at the door. The camp host was very friendly and helpful.

The campground area is very well maintained and in a beautiful location adjacent to the Flat Tops Wilderness. This area is somewhat remote and does not have any cell service. Tim, the camo host was very helpful and is doing a great job of keeping the area clean and ready for campers. Site #6 had a killer view into the valley below.

There was a large snow drift in our campsite trailer location making it unusable. There was not a fresh water source and the dump station was not open. The owners of trappers lake lodge were very friendly and let us use their phone to contact the other party we were to meet at the campground. We also had a lovely meal at the lodge a few nights later, after we found another campsite a few miles down the canyon.

Absolutely beautiful area. The campground host was friendly and kept the campgrounds in really good condition. The hiking is incredible and fishing of back country lakes and a river.

This site is about a 6-hr drive from Denver, with the last 1h 20m without stores or gas, so make sure you stop in Meeker.
The campground is clean, well-maintained and very close to trails. The camp host was welcoming and the facilities were clean.
We saw various wildlife and our stay was bug-free. As you get further into June and July, mosquitos are abundant.
We had a great trip.
