Nice campground. Sites arent the most level and some are close together.

I've never met a camp host as off putting as the one working here. She was not friendly. The sites are very close together, like 50 yards or less. Clean vault toilets and site. Highway noise, lots of motorcycles and trucks go by.

The people camping next to us arrived at midnight and set up all their stuff. The people across from us had a huge bright light that illuminated the campground. The vibes were just off here so we left a day early.

The campground, located just a short drive from Nederland, was overall great. However, the bathrooms were a bit of a letdown. Despite being clean, they were infested with flies. Most of the sites were quite close together, with only a few offering adequate spacing. The trail adjacent to site 34 was poorly maintained after the initial 200 yards, making it difficult to follow after about halfway. Fortunately, many sites, particularly site 34, provided decent shade. Unfortunately, Verizon service was unavailable throughout the campground. Despite these minor inconveniences, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan to return in the future.

This campground is easy to get to from Boulder. The camp host keeps the pit toilets very clean. They are a veritable fund of knowledge. Our campsite #29 was nice but near the playground that we did not know about. The sweet angels waken early to play.

Space 42 was great, not too close to anybody but close enough to the very clean bathrooms. Would stay again!

I stayed 2 nights and it was very pleasant. The campground was very quiet and the facilities were clean. I hit it just right: NO BUGS! Cool temps, clear views. My only issue was how unlevel the campsite was. I had more than a 2 ft step to my camper's step to get inside which took a toll on my knees. I have my next campsite picked out and it is a level one.

It was nice and quiet, which is really the highest compliment I can give any campground. I was glad they were enforcing the fire ban clearly.
