Clean vault toilets, potable water pumps, clean site, great location with great nearby hikes.
One nitpick - there are notes/descriptions of the site that state to get your firewood locally, and there are bulletin boards near the site that mention the cost of firewood, but I was not able to figure out how/where to buy that firewood.
In the end, I ended up driving to a Sinclair gas station a few exits east on I-70 and buying firewood there ($1/piece at the time).

Peaceful campground with good spots. Friendly camp host, spots are clean and set up nice. We had a spot next to the creek, good spots for hammocks, the bathrooms were crazy clean for bucket toilets.

The campsite is well maintained. Our only disappointment was with our site location. The picnic table/grill/fire pit were 30 yards from our campsite, making it incredibly inconvenient. When choosing sites, if this is important to you, stay away from site 18.

We saw several rocky mountain wildlife in or near camp. The views were most excellent and the sites were very nice. They have actual pads for tens so your tent doesn't end up on a steep slope. There are trails and interesting things to see nearby - like the Cabin Creek Hydroelectric plant. We plan to go again.
