This camp could be much better. Nice camps next to Gore creek. These sites r mostly pine making ground clear. The others aspen and very brushy and weedy. Big problem on this side of camp r the walk-in campers. They r above this side of camp. We had lady on ledge maybe 20 ft high watching us. Host told us he would run her off if still there in one hr. She was still there then he tells us this is part of her camp. Whoever is in control needs to go to Junction Creek camp near Durango and see how to lay out camp and run it. This should be a great camp but is not!

Excellent clean and quiet campsite close to Vail. Super convenient to the highway but didn’t feel like we were right off the road.

Close to Vail Village for cultural and recreation activities there.
Also the infamous Vail Pass pike route and forest hikes.
I had a walk-in campsite which which some elevation gain about 20 ft. I noticed that lugging my stuff back and forth.

Safe (solo mom is a six year old daughter so this is always first criteria. Quiet. Clean for a vault toilet. Stunning campsite beside the river.

Beautiful location on the creek and convenient to Vail activities. Camp hosts were helpful and the facilities were clean. It was a surprise that the "tent only" site was actually primitive with a significant hike uphill. We did not pack or prepare accordingly, however, the remoteness of the site was well worth the heavy haul for 2 nights. Would have stayed longer if we could and will come back!!

Clean, beautiful campground with several sites big enough fir our 32 ft Class A with slides. There was highway noise from I-70, but it was mitigated by the loudness of the creek running just by the western campsites. The walk-in tent sites looked awesome from what we could see. They were off beyond the flowers, trees and grasses, but looked private and pretty.
