No Verizon cell service but that was fine with us. The beautiful area and campsite had mature trees and plenty of shade (sites 21 & 22). I give this campground 5-star because we will definitely return yearly due to the privacy, cleanliness of the entire property/bathrooms, awesome host, and distance from Denver (only 1 hour & 28 minutes). The only negative comment I have about our campsite is that our adjacent site (site #20) was extremely too close to us. Sooo close that ALL conversations and evening love-making sounds were easily traveled, which kept me from sleeping until 2am on the first night's stay. Campsites #20 - #22 are perfect if you are with a large group/family because the shared parking area with a slight walk to your tent, which explains why it's called "buddy sites". Otherwise, we had a wonderful weekend and truly enjoyed hearing all of the Hummingbirds during the day

My site was too close to the entrance and the site was located on the shoulder of the dirt road. People coming in from the entrance did not slow down and stirred up a lot of dirt. As people sped by, dirt was stirred up from the road and onto my camper and myself.
