My camping was purely perfunctory, as a place to stay while I worked a freelance job. The highway is ever-present, so it isn't a "woodsy" experience (except for the bear!) I have stayed here quite a bit every summer for the past few years. This year, the attention to cleanliness was exceptional! And the host was super-friendly. Thank you!

Nice campground but close enough to I-70 to hear the traffic. Easy access to bike trail that runs along i-70. Vault toilets, nice.

Campground is great and within a short drive to Vail and Lionshead for additional activities. Site 24 is a little tight if you have a large group, but the campground overall is extremely private and peaceful. We thought you'd be able to hear I-70 but not at all!

Very much appreciated the tent pad with material that was easy to pound in tent stakes. Most FS campgrounds don't have tent pads, or sometimes the tent material is compacted gravel that is not easy to drive in stakes.

A wonderful campsite right next to the creek—sleeping to the sound of the water was incredibly enjoyable.
The host was very welcoming and amazing.
Unfortunately, campfires were not allowed.
But overall, the place is beautiful and well-kept, located right by the river, especially sites #10 and #11, along with some other spots deeper into the forest.
The restrooms were spotless and sparkling clean.
It’s less than a 10-minute drive to Vail, and you can reach many places within a maximum of 30 minutes.

The site was clean and quiet. There are lots of hiking and walking trails close to and around the campsite and river. There's also a Large trail parking lot a few minutes up the road. Great for parking aftet checkout. The campsite is also at the starting point of one of the best biking trails around. I rode my bike from here to Breckenridge, a 64 mi round trip. All paved and incredibly well maintained with great signage. I was on an e-bike which is recommended as you do pass through Vail pass.
