Nice, quiet campground tucked into the forest. The walk-in sites were beautiful. The toilets were also very clean.

This place is such a little gem. Nestled into East Vail but feels like you're really out there. The stream that runs through is magical and the whole setting is just really well planned out with space, clean vaults, and amazing views. Only bummer was that we only stayed here one to pass through on a trip. I would highly recommend!

We stayed at Gore Creek for 4 nights. We have a 29-foot Motor home. I believe we had site 7. I love camping in the mountains. The sites are not super flat so there was a bit of a incline getting into the site. There was plenty room for our Rv and tow dolly up where the site gets flat. it's so beautiful and the smell of pine, Fantastic!! Gore creek is coming out of the mountains there so the thunder of the creek was amazing. Terry the campground host is great! Keeps the outhouses very clean kept us informed of any bear activity. She is very nice, informative and friendly. I would love to come back it was spectacular!!!
