Arapaho Bay

A bit chaotic with a school group in the campground. Lots of generator noise and nearby repair working on chain saws.

very poorly maintained by host!

Great campground so close to RMNP and town

The campground itself was beautiful. Lots of shade at almost every site. Large fire rings with grill attachments and bear boxes for food storage. There was an unaffiliated ranch across the street, that played live music Friday and Saturday into the night that was obnoxiously loud, wasn’t a problem for us, but don’t expect a serene quiet experience. I would go again, but hope they change the camp host. She was very rude, and charged our friends to stay at our site.

James & Lynn and Cori were the most amazing hosts! We’ve been camping here for years, and they really went above and beyond for their guests. Bathrooms were so clean! Thankful for these kind hosts and hope they will be back next year!

We have been coming to this location for 10yrs. This trip was extra special as we had deer on the 1st night come through the campsite, a moose on the 2nd day and we seen a black bear on our last day just outside the camping area. The camp hosts are always super friendly and the place was spotless and clean. The camp only blemish on the trip was our campsite had the worst infestation of mosquitoes we have ever seen but that is camping. In the end, this place never disappoints.

One of our favorite places. The 8 mile dirt road in is wonderfully maintained and treated for a smooth drive. Beautiful and has it all for a great boon-dock experience. While no hook up services so come prepared, taking in the true outdoors is what this place is for. Marshes, lakes, rivers, and streams make wildlife viewing a daily thing! Fish, paddle board, or bring a boat. Between Lake Granby and Monarch Lake it's water play wonderland. We like the sites in Big Rock loop, but Mora and Roaring Fork loops have sites on the water. Nice clean vault toilets and the camp hosts are wonderful. Firewood available, good phone coverage, (we have AT & T). 15 min into the charming town of Grand Lake and entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.

We visited this site on Jul 27th. No moon meant the sky was pitch dark and we could see 3 satellites at the same time and the Milky Way.
There's no sink to clean to do the dishes or brush your teeth. There wasn't running water, so you need to take as many gallons as you would need.
Very pleased with the view. Services could improve. James was a cool host.

Beautiful camp ground area. I like the proximity of the private lodge for ice and ice cream! During our stay the water spigots ran out of water and the camp host waited until 7 pm on our first day, during dinner, to tell us all tents need to be in the tent pad gravel area and to move them. She had talked to one of our group earlier and never mentioned this. It is also not on the website or check in directions. The restrooms were impeccably clean and well stocked. We had one night of rain and drove to Grand lake for dinner which was a nice diversion. Lots to do in the area, I would go back.

Moraine and Roaring Fork Loops have zero shade - if you are camping in a tent, and happen to have a dog or small children, please heed this warning and absolutely bring some form of shade and some form of screened structure. The mosquitos could be unbearable for the pups in the evening and the sun was difficult on everyone all afternoon long. Hosts are exceptionally friendly, the views and amenities are great, and the proximity to the best hiking trails is also great - just bring shade and shelter from the mosquitos.
