Cold Springs - Arapaho Roosevelt Nf (CO)

The walkway to get from the parking spot to campsite was uneven and tricky to navigate, especially in the dark. The sites near the entrance to the campground are right on a fairly busy road with a lot of noise. There were also people with generators and loud music at the site next to mine which made it even louder. However, the bathrooms had nicer toilet paper than expected!

The pictures and the map are completely incorrect. The three tent sites at the end of the campground are RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. You can’t even whisper without hearing every word. Our neighbors were nice, thank goodness, but I wouldn’t book this site again.

Campground has a cute short lookout trail and some trails that branch off the back side of the sites (so you’ll also have foot traffic going past your tent). Two adult male moose came through camp one evening, which was definitely a highlight and one of the closest encounters with wildlife I’ve had in the seven years I’ve lived in Colorado.

Bathrooms were very clean but for some reason they always smelled horrific. Even though the site was as far away from the highway as possible, you could still hear road noise. Overall location is convenient and campground well kept, but it’s better for small RVs than tents.

The campground was clean, everyone was respectful of noise and were friendly. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked on toilet paper, although the one nearest us started to smell fairly quickly which makes sense as it seemed to be the one that had the most people using it. There were a few moose that wandered into the campground.

It was a wonderful campground. Clean facilities, spots were clean, and the camp host Garry was awesome. We are going to come back this season before it's too cold for sure. It's a hidden gem of a place

Well maintained in general. I think the host cleans the bathrooms daily bc at night it actually smelled ok but in the morning it'd smell atrocious. Toilet paper is fully stocked. The water area is well drained.
The only thing is weeds all around the campsite are quite long.

Nice place to camp. Very quiet and peaceful.

The campground was amazing and in a very convenient location. The hosts and maintenance were nice people!

This campsite is STUNNING! It's nestled enough in the mountains you will see moose, yet centrally located enough to venture out to nearby towns. Gary, the camp host, is kind, welcoming, and made my little girl and I feel comfortable during our trip. We will definitely return.

We have a small, self contained RV camper so we are able to come to this campground pretty easily in spite of not having electricity. It's great for beating the heat of the front range and is almost always much cooler there. It's located pretty conveniently to Black Hawk, Central City, Idaho Springs and Georgetown. It's quiet at night but with the highway being next to it, it can be loud during the day.

Beautiful campground. Very friendly camphost. Some of the spots are too close to the road for our liking. We found that all of the pull-thru sites are actually just pull off of the road sites with a 2-3 ft drop to the picnic table area. We initially had a pull- thru site, but it wouldn’t accommodate our camper with the slides out. So the camp host moved us to a much better back-in site. Our 2nd nite there we were accused of taking someone else’s site, even tho there’s was not the name that was posted on the pole. Unfortunately the camp host was gone for 2 days so he couldn’t help us. They threatened to call the sheriff, but we stayed in the spot the host had put us in. It all worked out, and we had a wonderful time. There is a very short hike up to a vista with beautiful views. We are planning to return next year and check out more hiking nearby.
