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.

Easy to find my camp site. Was able to get wood from the gentleman that was working the camp ground. I was able to connect to trails from camp sites.

First camping trip for me and my then 6-year old son. Made it easy to car camp, and enjoy Mt. Evans the next day.

Clean campsite with bathroom close by. Fun fishing at the small Echo Lake. Caught and released several rainbow trout on a fly and bubble. We'll definitely be returning next summer.

We arrived and found a family camped in our spot. We searched for a host but found no one. It was the worst, most poorly managed camping site I've ever seen. There were plenty of parties and loud people around and all night long. Ended up sleeping in our car. Would never go back and never recommend this place. Too close to Denver. Lots of riff-raff and homeless looking people about.
