This was are first return to Arapaho Bay in a few years. Campgrounds were in great condition and full each night (weekend). We were surprised to see the boat ramp has been gated off. We used it to launch kayaks, but no trailored boats at that end of the lake anymore.

Super rude host. We did not stay due to not getting there 26 hours of our reservation so that was on us. There were others at our site so at least someone enjoyed it. Will not go back.

Our campsite was not right at the water's edge but the water was very easy to get to without disturbing our neighbors. Great size campsites, clean toilets, and great trails nearby! The camp hosts were very kind and helpful!

The campsite was picture perfect and quietly serene with designated areas for tents including bear-proof food storage boxes. The restroom facilities were clean and well managed. There was zero shade at our site, which worked well for our overcast late-May trip, but could be hot in the peak of summer. The camp site is just a short drive from Grand Lake for a day trip, boat rentals, restaurants, etc. The water in Lake Granby was chilly but nice to wade into up to mid-thighs - easy paddle boarding access from the campsite. The roaring fork is accurately named and offered great white noise for sleeping. We encountered a black bear walking through the campsite within 100ft of us. It was alarming, but didn’t cause any ruckus. My one complaint was the lack of bear safety information at the campsite; I’d suggest adding bear and moose safety flyers at the restrooms and within each bear box.
