Cleanest vault toilet, ever. Overall one of the cleanest places we’ve ever camped. Clear, but not intrusive presence from our host, too. I’d not hesitate to stay here again. Playground is a nice touch, there we a bunch of kids near us and they took great advantage of it.

Campground was clean, easily accessible, and has a couple of trails right there. From there, its a short drive to trails east of the highway as well as Eldora and Nederland!

Close enough to Boulder but beautiful scenery. Views of peaks and campsites that are clean and well separated. Bathrooms were extremely clean and host was very friendly

We had a great time at the Kelly Dahl campground outside Nederland. We saw several bull moose and enjoyed the quiet environment at the campground. The campground is in a convenient location to access great hikes and visit restaurants we love, especially Crosscut Pizzeria & Taphouse in Nederland and Toss Wood Fired Pizza in Rollinsville. The vault restrooms were very clean, too!
