Echo Lake

The campground has a small tent pad so if you have a large tent, be ready to be innovate placement. The tent sites are placed close together so if full, you will feel like you are on top of neighbors. Pit toilets are in poor condition inside, not well maintained. Hiking is good and accessible from camp. Bear boxes provided. It’s a walk up site, so you have to pack stuff in, furthest walk is 50yds from parking lot. Campground is close to road so it’s a bit noisy. Fishing at nearby Echo Lake was a no-go because it was full of aquatic plants...all you would catch is leaves.

Nice clean campground. Good hiking trails. Wonderful scenery.

It was a very nice camp ground. The bear locker was a nice thing to have and gave a piece of mind. Despite the fact that it had been raining all week we could not have a fire. That is the only reason I did not rate higher

Campsites are very close together and the campground is close to the road. It's very loud during the day. There are trail heads right in the campground which was nice. Fishing in echo lake was great. However, this was not the camping experience we were looking for.

I had a great time here with my son. Not sure if it was the elevation or the quality of meat, but had one of the best steaks ever on the fire pit provided.

The campsite was clean, staggered enough to not feel like we were camping right next two others. The only issue I had was that the night before the road to Mt. Evans closed, a car club was racing their cars to the top for HOURS from 10pm to the early hours in the morning. It was well over 100 cars revving their engines as they raced up and down the mountain. I would definitely make sure to NOT stay there the Sunday night before Labor Day.

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.
