A nice, small campground on the way up to Guanella Pass from the Grant side. The outer ring sites are the ones you want; this one had several flat-ish spots for tents. You can also easily walk to the Abyss and Burning Bear trails from the campsite.

Pretty little campground up near Guanella Pass. Sites were clean, privy was spotless, fellow campers were friendly and considerate. Close access to the Abyss Trail. It was a very nice place to stay.

I read on the website that water would be available- It was not. The pump was broken. The next campground up, well their pump was broken too. Host said he got water in Bailey, but that was shut down now due to the draught. Next option was over the pass in Georgetown. We looked at the site, it was small, uneven and full of stumps and we were not sure we wanted to put our camper there. Left towards Georgetown and didn't come back. Pretty area, pretty drive.

The campsites were in a lollipop configuration. Lots of space in between, and relatively flat.

30’ at site 3 is being generous. Our 25.5’ camper was tight. Took 4” of blocks to get to level. Nice host. Clean toilets. No cell. Small park close to Denver, great for a quick trip out of town. Other sites on the outside of the loop have cool rock walls behind them and more room for your vehicle. Inside the loop some spots have no shade.
