I really liked the actual site, with great views. Also, the sites were spaced well, with no crowding from adjoining sites.

Really amazing spot, worth the drive from Denver. Very few people, beautiful surroundings. Facilities were clean and hosts were kind and helpful. All the sites offer shade and privacy. We camped in spot #10, which did not have much of a tent pad, but we made due. Several amazing day hikes within walking distance of your camp spot—we did about half of the Carhart Trail (#1815) loop around Trapper’s Lake with our 5 year old. It was amazing. Warning: Mosquitoes were RELENTLESS. Bring A Lot of bug spray and mosquito repellent like sage to burn or citronella.

I wish there was a better description of the campsites so you would really know if your camper and vehicle will fit or not.
It’s kind of a guessing game.
It worked out as there where open sites in cut throat camp ground.
We love going to the area.

What a special place. Our campsite (#015) was great - lots of space for us to set up 2 tents and our screen tent. Great Mountain Views from the site as well. Only downside is that it's right next to the bathrooms and depending on the wind, we often got some strong smells wafting our way. We checked out Trappers Lodge which has a great happy hour and for Labor Day they had live music set up. A lot of fun.

Very nice, and off the beaten track. A 50 mile drive to the nearest town with services makes it feel isolating and that's what I like. The host kept a clean campground, but in some cases would not enforce rules like the 10 MPH speed limit or dogs having leashes. Take LOTS of bus repellant in the early summer months as the mosquitoes and biting flies are ravenous.
