This was our first visit to this campground and we enjoyed it immensely. We stayed at site 15, a back-in site. There was a bit of a hill backing up the trailer to a level spot. The site was next to a vault toilet, which also serves as the nearest restroom for walk-in tent sites. The view from these sites and our own could not be beat. Bonus points for being right on the galloping goose trail out the door of our trailer, and for the free hot showers available to campers. Would be nice if they had a dish sink, but they do not. Hosts were super awesome. We would come back here. It's not too far from Telluride, so it's easy to get provisions or go out to dinner. There are some electric/water/dump sites available at this campground as well. The nearest RV dump station was in Cayton campground, about 9 miles away over the lizard head pass. It costs money if you don't camp there, and there does not appear to be rinse water. We had very limited cell service in some open areas near the campground.

We stayed at site 025 on 8/13 on our way through Colorado on a cross country roadtrip. The sites were close together and lacked privacy, but we felt safe as two young women. The area is beautiful and I would love to camp here again, although would probably try to find a more private site/one better suited to tent camping. There is no tent pad and we had a difficult time getting our stakes in the ground. The shower facilities are free, warm, large, and clean which was a wonderful surprise and is much more than I could say about most campground showers we used on this trip.

Our campsite was nestled in an aspen forest. We opted for a site without full hook ups, therefore, the space we had was quite private. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient to Telluride, while being away from the touristy feel of town. There is a beautiful lake 1 mile away for paddle boarding. We had several choices for jeep trips and mountain biking very close. I highly recommend this campground!
