Beautiful, quiet little campground right on the river. We only spent one night, but would go back again if in the area.

My stay was mid-November so it would not be similar to a summer stay. Only one other person at the campground other than the caretaker so it was super quiet. Zero trash. My campsite was clearly marked with my reservation. Cleanest pit-toilet that I have ever used. River running by the campground was very pretty. No complaints.

Cold camping in my RV several times in the winter has been a great getaway just 45 minutes from home. Fort Collins. I love to get up in the morning to see the deer around my RV. Walking along the banks of the Poudre River when it is snow and ice cover is awesome. The campground host is always helpful when needed.

We were testing out our new pop up camper. We were the only people there (mid Nov). Host was still on location but we didn't talk to him. Restrooms were ok; toilet paper not refilled but we didn't run out. Nice location by the Poudre River.
