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.

Our site was too narrow for our slide. Unfortunately our trailer cannot function without the slide out. It said a 30 ft trailer could fit in the site, however ours is 26 ft and could barely fit length wise. We drove 2 hours and had to return home same day. Would have loved to talk to the camp host to see if he had any ideas but the two hours we were there waiting for him and he never returned. Just a sign that said be back soon. Lost our money and 6 hours of our day.

Great location especially if you are going to summit Mount Evans. Echo Lake is beautiful and the lodge has a gift shop and meals until 5:00 PM.

Camp ground and site was clean and ready. Can be tricky, Echo lake is a very busy campground.

The campsites are close together but nice enough. The only bummer was the snow but that’s a risk you run. There are nice big bear boxes at each campsite. The bathroom facilities are decent.

Host was less than helpful and lacked knowledge about the area. The roadway was washed out and almost impassable. The campsite also had a large washed out area. Probably the worst overall we stayed at during our 3 weeks in the west.
