Nice campground. Well maintained. We stayed in The Big Rock Koop, which is not right by the water but offers nice shade (the water spots didn’t have any really). But a two minute drive and we were at the water.

Campsite was clean and well maintained, camp host was great! Site 13 looks isolated on the map but it right next to 12 and 14. We had a moose walk right by the campsite though which was very cool! We will definitely be back!

The sites and bathrooms were well taken care of. The host was very helpful and informative. BE PREPARED: This site is a nice little hike up the hill when carrying heavy stuff. Otherwise it is an extremely beautiful site!

We usually got to Moraine in the Rocky Mountain National Park . I can tell you that we love Arapaho Bay for one of many reasons......the water! My kids had a blast.....there's more opportunity to hike and enjoy the surroundings here.....I.E., Monarch Lake has an amazing trails to choose from.....2miles to 9 miles.....we loved every minute of this experience. We are trying to get a spot again for August 2020. Yes, the camping sites are a little closer to each other but there's trees everywhere. If you have children who love water...this is the place for you. Also, shopping for basic commodities is not outrageously far with Granby just miles away, and it's not paacked with tourists like Estes. Must go back.....this is our go-to place for here on out!

Would have loved to have threads on the spigot so we didn't have to drive our trailer back to Granby for drinking water after we arrived. Other than that everything was great!
