Had a fantastic time. Beautiful scenery, plenty of places to fish and hike. Camp host Tim was friendly and personable. Campgrounds were very well maintained (the bathrooms were easily the nicest I've seen at any place I've camped). Would definitely recommend and stay again.

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.
