Scenic and tree-covered camp site with very clean vault toilets. Tent pads were clean and level and fire pits, picnic tables and bear lockers were well maintained. Easy hike to Monarch Lake and other trailheads. About 25 minute drive from "downtown" Granby, if you need to make a supply run (running water at site was shut off after mid September and firewood was also not available on site during our visit in October.) Will definitely be returning!

Beautiful place to camp! Lake and Moose were amazing to look at every morning!
We were not happy that the bathrooms were closed by our campsite!

Campground was very clean and neat. Tent pad was good. not very crowded. hiking was great up towards crater lake. We had a couple small bucks wander through the camp one morning. The only negative is the 9 mile dirt washboard road to the campground. Definitely would recommend this place.

We love this campground, spot # 15 is deepest point so wildlife passes thru in the morning. This year we had a Mule Deer Buck and female Moose. Campground host was great, everything was clean and functional, he cleaned our fire ring every day. We rode our E-bikes up to Monarch lake to hike around and came upon a mother and baby moose. Great place, will surely visit again.
