Gore Creek is a wonderful Campsite. I've camped here for years and have never had a bad experience. The site is right off I70 but still plenty far that you cannot hear the road nor is it busy. The campsite sits directly next to one of the best dedicated bike paths in the United States. Just a few hundred feet up the road is the start of the trail. I've ridden my e-bike 74 mi from this site to Breckenridge and back and its wonderful. Perfect condition paved two lane all the way! Also many great hike trails right next to the site.

Bathroom was clean and smelled as good as a pit toilet possibly can!

Loved our 4 night stay at Gore Creek Campground. It was so quiet and peaceful. The campsite was quite large and could easily fit 2 tents and a camper van. The bathrooms (pit toilets) were spotless and cleaned every day. I only wish there were showers and a source of water. For a hot shower we drove to Avon Recreation Center (about 20 minutes away). We bought bottled water at Walmart.

This is a lovely campground, especially nice since it is so close to Vail. There were many restrooms, and all were clean and tidy every day. We were alerted to what we assumed was a low water situation, so we filled our trailer water reservoir before arriving as recommended on the website, but were then surprised to learn that these is/was no water at all available in the campground. This clarification would have been helpful to know prior to arriving.

Vault toilets very well stocked and maintained. Spent two nights in Site #2. Easy in/out. Close to toilet. No odor problems. Table area not quite level. Two nights at Site #4. Easy in/out. Picnic table area larger and level. Camp host very helpful and was easy to find. It was very helpful to stay in Vail for the Bravo Music Festival instead of having to drive over the pass from/to Peak One in Frisco. Will return next year.

We had a great stay. Clean campground and very friendly camp host. The water was low enough kids could splash in the creek.
