We stayed in the upper loop at site 8. We had private access to the river and were close to the bathrooms. It was really a beautiful site. The only downside would be the closeness of the main road. We hiked Young Gulch trail too, which is right across the street, with our 3 little ones.

Our ealry June, weekday stay at Ansel Watrous campground was terrific! There was minimal road noise, and our site (#15) was right on the river which is running fast and so was the dominant sound during our stay.
There is no hiking right at the campground, but Young Gulch trail is a few minute walk down the highway, and there are other trailheads just 5-10 minutes drive away. Sitting by the water, watching the occasional rafting groups and kayakers, and checking out wildflowers and birds was entertaining and relaxing.

Campsites we’re in excellent condition when we arrived. Our reservation card was posted and we were able to set up easily.
Restrooms were very clean. While we were there, water testing was conducted, part of routine monthly testing.
It was great to be camping in Poudre Canyon again.

The campground host was very helpful and friendly. The water in the river was low so we got to wade and play. We saw a herd of big horn sheep fleeing the forest fire.
