Really nice spot. While you do have to “walk-in” a bit there is a nice little path. We had to take a couple trips but the privacy and nature are worth it!

We stayed at the end of July and it was full of green, leaves, and flowers. There wasn’t any rain so we were able sleep without the rain cover and there were so many stars, and could even see the Milky Way.

Also, pretty good cell/data signal if that’s a thing you need.

Beautiful campground by the creek. Big sites, clean toilets, friendly host. Programming for kids on Saturday nights, 15 min drive to Vail. Right beside entrance to Vail Pass paved cycling trail. Note, no water. Loved it!

The campground and bathrooms are so clean! Gore Creek is stunning and the camp host is one of the nicest we’ve met on our journey thus far. Amazing experience all around!

Very quiet, sites well separated and bathrooms clean. A couple of trails lead right from campground area as well as a bike trail up and over Vail pass.

Wonderful campground. The walk-in sites are up a hill, so loading in and out our car camping setup took a little longer than normal, but we enjoyed the privacy of those sites and the great view of the night sky. Campground host gave helpful information about short toddler-friendly hikes from the campground and ways to access the creek from the campground. Very clean and well-maintained facilities.

Loved our site. Very secluded and above the creek. Hearing the water roar with our windows open was so peaceful. No fishing on the creek near campsite unfortunately but fishing and a great dog park less than a mile away.
