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.

Beautiful and spots are very spacious. I love that the camp host doesn’t hound you like a lot of other campgrounds. Truly relaxing

Beautiful, remote location. Campsites are well-spaced but uneven. No facilities of course. Very quiet.

First visit here, and we will definitely be back every year! Site 12 did not have a BBQ grill like all of the other sites. Luckily we had multiple sites for our group. 12 and 13 had very little shade as was mentioned on the website due to pine beetles, but we had plenty of canopies. Bathrooms were clean and the camp manager was nice and helpful when needed. We got our fire wood from him as well. Definitely alot of ATV noise and people up pretty late past quiet hour, but we were also up pretty late and noise really doesn't bother us. Definitely attracts attracts younger crowd. Definitely going to look into buying or renting an ATV for next year. We also had decent cell phone services across several different phone providers. My husband was able to stream the Mayweather fight while up there.

It was noisy with all the ATV’s that didn’t follow rules. Someone ran a generator 24/7, so annoying. I won’t be going back.

Off road vehicles drive through the campground at all hours, people were burning fires during a state wide fire ban, and VERY LOUD techno music was played until 4:37am. I know this exact time because I was awake due to the techno music. The camp host? He was present and camped across the road from all of this and did absolutely nothing. We left two days early.

This was a great campsite, but my rating is only for personal experience. I stayed at site 014 and was camping from my street motorcycle and easily accessible for the bike. Toilet and city water were right across from the site. What would have been good to know before booking is that this is primarily used by those looking to use OHV's (Off Highway Vehicles). This drew a primarily younger and LOUDER crowd than I was looking for since I was hoping for peace and quiet. The roadway to access the campground is 1.5 mi long and washboarded.
