What Guests Are Saying
Columbine Campground is exceptionally well maintained, with clean restrooms, attentive camp hosts, and thoughtful amenities like hand-washing stations and fire safety water. Many visitors appreciate the beautiful setting, ample shade, and the host's helpfulness. However, some campers noted noise from nearby ATV trails and close campsite proximity, which may impact the overall peaceful experience.

The forest around the Columbine Campground in Central City, CO was beautiful. However, the campsites were very unlevel, and rocky , which made it difficult to level our camper or walk around the campsite. The campers in the site next to us had two golden retrievers, that were never on leash, and would come into others camp sites and disturb them.
Other complaints are that the Men's restroom near our site was not very clean, and the fire pit had not been cleaned out.

The campground was lovely but the host was surly and unavailable for any help of any kind. On the second day the bathroom was dirty.

Bathroom could have smelled a little better but clean

The campground as a whole is clean and well maintained. Sites in the first loop do not have bear boxes, but the walk-in sites in the second loop do. Site #6 had many many ant-hole mounds, with huge ants, though they leave you alone. See the other reviews about the overall noise of the site. There were off-road vehicles driving and revving throughout the night, many well past midnight, 1am, etc. Not as peaceful and serene, but good if you can't find another available location.

Third time at Columbine Campground - had a great time as usual! Campground was clean. Bathrooms were clean - ran out of toilet paper by Sunday morning - it was restocked about 10, which was a little late. Otherwise it was quiet, well kept - we come here because it is close to a ton of off-road trails.

Site 024 has a great view and is set a little apart. Great spot. Be ready for OHV sounds but it isn’t overbearing.

Mid-week it's quiet, it's clean and the sites are level and spacious. We chose Columbine for it's proximity to Mt. Evans, about an hour away. We dropped our truck camper at the site to safely and easily drive up the mountain. Our time spent here was perfect!

The only thing. Bathrooms need to be clean better

Campground was peaceful but very close to other campers. This is an ATV campground so usually quiet during the day.
I'd camp here again.
