What Guests Are Saying

Echo Lake Campground offers a lovely, well-kept environment with friendly and helpful camp hosts. The sites are clean and conveniently located near beautiful hiking trails and Echo Lake, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts. However, some campers noted that sites are quite close together and that evening noise from nearby vehicle racing can be disruptive.

The camp sites are nice but very close together. Look closely when you reserve. The camp hosts are great!

Nice camping site with beautiful hikes in the area.
Disappointed with the amount of vehicle and motorcycle racing going on in the evening. Very loud,very annoying.

Campground is easy to get to not far off the main road. Campground hosts were friendly. We stayed in 2 separate sites and they were both nice and wooded, but close to the friendly neighbors. If you want to drive up Mount Blue sky (used to be called Mount Evans) this is the campground for you! Wi-fi is available within 100 yards of the campground at the flagpole.

Awesome place. Had a fox come and drink water out of a dogs water right in front of everyone. Saw moose. Fishing was great. Only used worms. And the camp host was super helpful and polite. Bring rain gear just incase because it’s on and off. No fires were allowed at the time but gas stoves were ok. Played board games while raining. Catch, soccer and a little hiking. Family friendly and fun all around. Lakes a short walk away.

The campground is excellent! The hosts were informative and cordial. We enjoyed a camp fire under Stage 1 restrictions and then were very sad as we were in Red Flag warning after that. Not under control of the Denver Parks hosts. The pit/vault toilets were exceptionally clean and tidy. We already have reservations for August to return. Access to Mt. Blue Sky Highway is only a few hundred feet away. Research the road access rules before you go! Nearby Echo Lake has a lot of fish and a lot of plants. Minor state highway 103 noise during the daytime and virtually none at night. As a RV Trailer Camper, researching your spaces is strongly advised. There is an old fashioned pump water hydrant with potable water there. It is well treed, shady, and dry. Be aware that there is none to little cell phone coverage and data. There are two excellent trails to the adjoining wilderness connected to the campground, which while we only did a few miles of, were lovely and green.
