Gore Creek Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful setting, with spacious sites, clean bathrooms, and a friendly camp host. Guests appreciate the proximity to Vail, bike trails, and the scenic Gore Creek. While some noted traffic noise from nearby I-70 and the lack of water or showers, the campground's cleanliness and well-maintained facilities were frequently highlighted as major positives.

We loved this campground and the only problem we had was that it rained for 6 days but that is not something anyone can control in the mountains

Good camping sites, clean rest rooms. No water supply.
A bear walked into our campground one afternoon, as we were sitting on patio chairs resting against our RV. We did not have food out anywhere. We waved our arms and made some noise, and he ambled away. He was pretty close--maybe 10 ft away, when we started waving arms and making noise.
If you stay in a tent, don't smell like food. Use the bear-proof lock boxes.
Beautiful place. I like to sit by Gore Creek and sketch.

Gore Creek Campground is very pretty, well maintained and the bathrooms are clean. The only downfall I would say is that the campsites in the back area (we were 24 & 25) did not have many flat areas for tents. They have one spot that is made for a tent, but if you have more than one they will be in slanted/forested areas that are difficult to maneuver. Tip: You can access water to fill up jugs on the backside of the convenient store next to the Safeway.

Incredible scenery and experience.
I went for a few days with girlfriend for our anniversary. The site was easy to find and check into and the bathrooms were very clean. Staff (just one guy from what we saw) is polite helpful and unobtrusive. Plus the stars on our final night there were absolutely incredible!
Great experience. We will come again :)

Great campground! My favorite part was being able to watch the rafters go by in the creek.

Love this location and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. The river noise is soothing and I enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Loved that you can hike Deluge Lake right next door.
