Campground is very close to Vail but you don’t feel like you are ‘in town’. Several hiking trailheads located very close by so that’s super convenient. Hosts were great and the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. What more could you want?

This campground is mostly an open, dry and dusty affair. To avoid that, we booked a spot uphill and closer to the road. When we arrived, there were no signs indicating the route to our site so we had to hunt around. Eventually, we found it... But there were no tent pads or flat ground except for the parking area, which was extremely dusty and, well, for cars. We made it work, but we're disappointed... Especially because the host charged us an additional $7 for a second car!

Great campground hosts, beautiful setting and close to hiking. Only downfall is you can hear the highway but it isn’t too bad.

We had a great time while we were here. Unfortunately we didn't get to stay overnight. My dog is blind and it was a bit worrisome navigating the area with her so we opted to head out. We did spend a lot of the day and enjoyed our time immensely but needed to keep our dog safe.

Arva & Doug are the two kindest people I've ever met! Emt from Boulder retired came up 1 month early by accident on my part but Arva saved the day and got me a night to stay. Came back on the right dates and Doug is funny!! Great people!

Very close to Vail but feels remote. Wooded and close to a stream.
