Gore Creek Campground

This campground is really a pretty place. Lots of shade and a creek running right next to it. The camp post when I was there was very pleasant and helped me find a great spot. About 5 mi from Vail, it’s very convenient and close to everything in the area.

Outstanding campground. Feels remote but close to Vail and many trails and outdoor activities. Bathrooms spotlessly clean! Kudos to the camp hosts!

My wife and I read the stage 2 fire restrictions before visiting Gore Creek, both for Eagle County and on the Gore Creek Campground website. The restrictions detail that liquid/gas devices, with an on/off switch or dial, are allowed. We ran our propane fire pit the first evening and had the campground host come around and tell us that it was not allowed. We mentioned the websites and he responded with "oh really..."....he had not understood that. The next morning, I asked a more knowledgeable couple who were hosts for the day about our fire pit. She responded with "They are fine, sorry you had that happen. Go ahead and enjoy it." So we ran our fire pit the next evening and had an angry "volunteer" come into our site concerned about our fire pit. This dampened our experience and made us feel like criminals when we were operating within the rules. Would be nice if Gore Creek posted the Stage 2 rules on the physical sign at the entrance to the campground,

Shanti keeps a very clean bathroom! This is our favorite campground. Thank you.

My tent site was beautiful and private, pit toilets pristine. The only thing to be aware of is that the noise from I-70 is deafening, all night long. If I had thought to bring noise canceling headphones it would have been a 5 star experience.

Campsites are OK. Needed to level our class C. If you have bikes the ride into Vail Village was great. Some hills, but no problem since we had electric bikes. Gore creek was not easy to fish, lots of rocks,

The date for camp site i booked was said only available 6 monthe prior so i logged in at the exact time it said for 6 months and there was only ever walk in sites this campground ground never had any drive in sites you have campers camping free in the parking lot of the walk in sites so there is no room to park if you get a walk in site and lots of locals using the place as a homeless car camp when there is a rest area 8 mi down the road ! Not the best amenity's no running water I give this place a solid 4/10 due to the over use and no amenity’s ! I pay Colorado state 30 bucks I get a shower and water !!!! Even if they use solar ! And I have to pay for a shower we’re not walking into camps either !

The campground is in a beautiful setting of trees and the creek but has no water, wood for fires and you get noise from the highway.

We reserved site 12, which is beautiful, backs right to the river and is shaded. We have a 24 ft travel trailer, and a RAM truck and have been all over the country with it. Our tires on the RAM are a bit worn, they are all seasons. We recommend anyone in this site have truck tires with very good traction - and very good tread. We could not back in to the site - our breaks were smoking and tires spinning. The Host was wonderful - he came by, saw our problem and moved us to another site open for one night. He was great. Campground is clean, close to Vail. But most of the sites are pretty tight for a 24 ft travel trailer. You really need to drive through and find the handful that work, there are large rocks, sharp corners to avoid around trees. And soft soil.

I stay here often, and this year the bathrooms are exceptionally clean, and trash taken care of. I am so appreciative!
