Campground very clean and quiet at night which was nice. Showers were clean as well as the other facilities. Camp hosts very nice and did a very good job with the campground. The road around the campground was a bit to navigate. It was full of potholes. That is the only complaint.
Sites were nice and roomy. Many shaded by trees. Views were very nice and you could hear the creek running at night. We plan to return.

The site does not have a tent pad, put the tent on the pull through parking spot (our spot was a designated tent spot). Having showers and a clean bathroom was a game changer for a forest service. Right off the highway but you can barely hear the cars. Views are incredible. Marmots are also all a round

Great campsites and friendly staff/hosts. Stayed here while visiting telluride. One thing to note is that sunshine campground was closer to town, but it is also smaller. Big plus that this one has a shower and multiple toilets! Only thing to note is that some sites can be noisy as the main road goes along the campground.

Quiet campground. We were able to switch to full hookup when we arrived which was nice. Good hiking right out of the campground.

Unfortunately the camp host gave away my campsite to someone who lied and said my belongings had been abandoned. I had left at 8:30 am and returned at 5 pm to find that I no longer had the campsite I had reserved 6 months ago. She was able to find a site for me to stay the night. I’d chalk this up to inexperience because people are going to try to steal campsites on a regular basis and the camp host should be setting boundaries to pushy and dishonest people.
