Jumbo Campground is the nicest National Forest campground we have ever stayed in!!! It is extremely well-maintained. The camp sites are strategically placed for maximum privacy with each site having its own pleasant view. It is quiet, clean and so pleasant! Lots of hiking trails and fishing lakes are definitely a plus. We highly recommend this campground and will stay there again.

Beautiful setting, helpful camp hosts. Ken and Kim were wonderful. We hadn't realized when we got there that we had booked a site with no electricity but they helped us change our site to one with hookups and gave us a little background on the area as it was out first experience on the Mesa. The weather was unsettled but it really didn't keep us from seeing all we wanted to see and we're thinking we'll make this an annual pilgrimage with our freinds.

Quiet, private spots nestled in beautiful lodgepole pines and aspen trees. Neat, tidy, well stocked, and easy to access outhouses. Potable water and firewood available. Well groomed, clean, and flat tent/camper pads. Big fire rings with grill tops for campfire cooking. Friendly site hosts. This campsite has a great vibe. It's close to nature but still has some creature comforts.
