Site 24 might be the best one there. We sure appreciated it! Lovely campground that was quiet and has a great trail with a view. The vault toilets were unusable due to the smell, and the playground was unusable for our 4 year old, due to weeds and just the sheer size of the equipment. It’s more for older children.

The campsites are nice, but I would say the driveway lengths might be a bit under what the site says they are, lots of hiking to do and St Mary's glacier hike was amazing and the views stunning once there. Camp sites are very close to the highway so you do get a good amount of traffic noise and the occasional Jake brake.

Our campground hosts were impeccable about keeping everything clean and organized. They even offered to deliver the firewood we needed to purchase. I really enjoyed the location specifically of the spots we reserved!

This is a really great little campground. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Of course you could always hope for bigger sites and a little bit more space for things like a bump out. But overall a really solid place to stay. In particular, a good base camp location if you're exploring the nearby Golden State Park. We were also able to use the showers at the community center about 4 minutes away for eight bucks a day. So that was a big help. And also helpful that it's the stones throw back to Golden or Denver if you need something there. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice level site with room between neighbors. Nearby road is a bit noisy.
