It was a nice campground and was enjoyable. The bathrooms are well maintained and that’s a plus.

Very good camping, we camped at site 31, which is right next to sight 30 unfortunately. Bathrooms seemed to be maintained daily, there was no water when we went but we budgeted about 5 gallons a day for 2 people and were able to do dishes, have drinking water, etc. People can run generators here for an unlimited amount of time during the day which is unfortunate, I wish there were generator hours and limits on how long you can run them, I think it can definitely affect your experience.
We fished near moraine loop each day we were there and didn’t catch anything, fish may be closer to the larger part of lake granby. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Hard to say.

There was a Snow storm so I did not go and had to forfeit the trip unfortunately. I would like to go this year though.

It was my 1st time visiting this campsite. I made my reservation online a week in advance and drove 3 hours. When I arrived at 3pm truck & trailer was in my spot. It took over an hour to resolve the issue. I didn't get my siteon the water. I took another site inland including a refund for the night. In the end, I had a wonderful time. Beautiful campsite. I'm concerned about the management. Thank you.

It’s a nice and calm site right by Lake Granby although the water level was so low due to the drought. The maintenance person walked by one morning, and he was very friendly too. It’s nice to have a potable water access close by.
