This seems like a party campground, especially down by the river, but probably only on weekends. I liked being at site 10 by the river on a Sunday night, but the river flow was LOUD even later in the season, so I might choose site 12 next time which is a bit further away. I'll echo others' reviews that the host is super chill and the bathrooms are impeccably clean. Only other thing to note is that you can hear road noise coming up the pass, less so down by the river but you can still hear it at times. But the vicinity of the road makes this accessible with lots of great hiking nearby. Be prepared for true high altitude here.

One of the nicer campgrounds I've stayed at. I highly recommend the "walk in" ten sites. You don't have to walk far and the creek is right nearby, drowning out any other sounds from the campground. Camp attendant keeps things clean and is a chill person to deal with.

Beautiful campground. Site is not for large RV's as tree branches are very close. We loved it!

Nice campground about a mile from Guanella Pass. The proximity to Guanella Pass makes it attractive, and the campground was at capacity. Campsites are close together, but neighboring campers respected quiet times.

Loved this campground. The stream running nearby was great white noise and bathrooms were well-tended. Some people thought there were too many bugs...but coming from Missouri, it seemed fine to me lol.

Our camp host was very cool, available and on top of things. The campsite and facilities were clean and easy to access.
So glad we chose this location as our last stop before hiking! Great place to get acclimated.
