Great campground! Clean and next to the river. Downside, Noisy highway traffic, especially motorcycles. Apparently there is no law enforcement on the highway to curb the speeding.
Another downer, the menβs toilet was locked and no signage to point this out.
All-in-all, it was a good experience. My wife and I had camped there years ago. We plan on visiting again before cold weather hits.

Quite a few steps down to the river from this site. Not much of a beach off the river. Lots of large boulders along the river bed. Sites 3 and 5 had areas clear to sit in the water.

Very clean and peaceful campground right next to the river. Sleep with the river as your music

I would love it if Colorado residents would be allowed to reserve sights prior to the m being opened to the rest of the world.

Very nice, small campground. Right on the river, itβs very scenic. Hiking trails are a short drive down the canyon.

So I go here every year, it's a great campground. I try to get something in the upper lot as it has much better shading/trees than the lower one. Very scenic, tranquil and clean.

We had a great spot (within walking distance to the Poudre). Lots of rafting, kayaking and tours happening on the Poudre. The street by this campground has a lot of loud traffic (motorcycles, people honking to be jerks, etc.). There was also a lot of cars that entered the campground and then left (probably looking for first come first serve spots). I think this was the biggest negative was the noise of the traffic.
Clean bathrooms, but they don't have lights so take your flashlight. Service was good (we have Google Fi). Since we went early in the season, it did get chilly at night.
It was a busy campground and most spots were booked up. Overall, a good area and experience.

The sound of the river is wonderful! It drowns out much of the noise from other campers. The bathrooms this year are so much cleaner than last year. We have very much enjoyed our experiences at Ansel Watrous.
