What Guests Are Saying
Gore Creek Campground is praised for its beautiful setting near the creek, providing a peaceful and private atmosphere with well-maintained facilities, including exceptionally clean bathrooms. Many guests appreciate the convenient access to Vail and nearby hiking and biking trails. However, some reviewers noted issues with noise from I-70 and the lack of water and campfires, alongside occasional challenges with campground management and site reservations. Overall, it remains a popular choice for campers seeking a serene experience close to outdoor activities.

Tent site distant from parking area, requiring a number of climbs (fairly steep) to get our stuff to the campsite. No ice for purchase on site

Beautiful campground! The river runs right next to the campground and the sound really drowns out noise from anyone around you. Lots of places to take walks and hikes nearby. Our pop up trailer fit just fine but larger RVs might find it tight. Many toilets and trash bins around so you don’t have to go far. Camp hosts were the best! Bathrooms super clean and they were constantly checking the trash. Very friendly couple.

What a treasure this campground is. We were skeptical given how close it was to I-70 but Gore Creek noise took care of that. Sites were very private and well cared for. We will be back!!!

Super clean and private sites. Beautiful beautiful location! So deep in nature and close to trailheads, bike paths and town all at the same time! Loved it!
