Came here for a one-night stay with my wife, 2 year old daughter, and 2 dogs. These are beautiful creek side sites and the nearby road is fairly quiet, especially at night. Each site has its own bear box, and ours was left in good condition, nice and clean.The toilets are relatively clean (it is a pit toilet after all) and water was readily available. Our camp host was very nice but not over bearing. Checked in with us after arrival and had firewood for sale. The tent sites are spacious, enough for one 6-person tent and likely two 2-person tents. Not many trees well suited for hammocks down by sites 8-10, but possibly better chances in 1-7. Lovely beach spot at site 8, nice cool water and relatively shallow but fast moving all the way across. Seems like good fishing, the camp host pulled out a couple trout the evening we arrived.

Our family had all of the campsites on the lower loop except one. This turned out to be one of our favorite camping spots! The entire campground was well maintained-including the bathrooms. The scenery was beautiful-especially those campsites right along the river. There were hiking trails nearby, rafting, fishing in the river and not too far from Ft Collin’s. None of us had cell phone service—which was a plus for us, in order to disconnect and spend time together.

Host was unpleasant to work with and needlessly confrontational.

We had an excellent stay at Ansel Watrous Campground. The site was well marked and clean. We loved the hike into Young's Gultch which is right next door. Our time by the Poudre Casche River was really nice.

Great campsite, no traffic noise at night, even though right next to highway; great trail access and fun you sit by river watching rafters float by!
