Camp Dick

Peaceful setting next to babbling brook. NO cell service with AT&T if that matters to you when camping.

We arrived after dark due to attending a wedding in Lyons, CO. Our site was occupied. My name was clearly posted for the date, since we booked a month before. Fortunately, the next site was open. The next morning, we visited the camp host, wondering if the reservation system is reliable or if we needed to confirm, etc. They assured us they would not have given the site away. The person occupying our site said the host gave it to him. That person had multiple stories about why he thought the site was open. It could have been a big problem if the next site had not been available, as Camp Dick is remote. Makes us leary of relying on Recreation.gov.

always nice in mountains. so many hikes to take from camp. saw moose and calf and 8 point bick in camp. river sounds so nice to sit and read book by. upper loop so quiet and peaceful.

I stayed at site #33 in early August 2022. I had my car camping setup with me and my mountain bike on the roof. There are two picnic tables and leveled gravel space for 2-3 smaller tents in addition to the one parking spot on the site, which could fit up to two cars. Spot #33 is right across the road from the restrooms, but enough distance away that smell is not an issue.

Campsite neighbors were courteous and turned off generators in the evening. The stay was quiet, and the nearby link up to the trail system down made for a fantastic evening of trail riding and camp cooking.

Camp hosts were patrolling the area on golf carts, and making conversation with guests.
Boulder County Sheriff came through once as well. I am not sure if that was an incident or nightly patrol.
Hosts restocked the bathrooms once during my 1 night stay.
Overall, my expectations were exceeded. I would worry about lack of shade in other spots but my site had plenty of tree cover.
I will be staying at Camp Dick again many times. Thanks for a pleasant experience.
