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 mi away for paddle boarding. We had several choices for jeep trips and mountain biking very close. I highly recommend this campground!

The excellent host, "Fish", was VERY helpful with our mixed up reservation. He was also a pleasure to talk with...especially, about Antartica. He, along with the other hosts really made our stay at Matterhorn!
