This is a beautiful area and not too crowded at the height of summer. There are bear boxes at each site and several trash bins, water dispensers and very clean bathrooms. However, there was background noise the entire time from two nearby highways and people running their generators all night. There was also lots of trash at our site, including multiple paper handouts on the ground for reviews of the campsite. We were also disappointed by the lack of trees at our spot, relative to the nice sites around us. We reserved online in advance and could not see photos of the sites.

Firewood a little pricey at $9.00 a bundle - Latrines were very clean, not smelly, very few bugs.

Went in the middle of the week. It was great. Clean bathrooms and the bear boxes are nice. Moose went through our site so that was fun.

Kelly Dahl campground is beautiful and very well-maintained. The hosts were helpful and friendly, and they kept the bathrooms pristine!
Campsite #36 was too crooked/steep for our pop-up camper, but we were able to combine with our family at their campsite, #38, which was a large and even space with a nice big picnic table. Our kids really enjoyed the playground in the campground. Also, we visited Nederland and the Mud Lakes open space park.

Campsite was in good condition, and there are a lot of trees. But there's NOTHING in walking distance besides the highway. Pretty much all the surrounding land/roads were private property, so you can walk around the campground or along the highway. There's hiking in the area, but you have to drive there.

One complaint. We were really impressed that each outhouse had a clearly marked (blue) recycling container. The end of our trip my wife and I took our recyclables to one of the containers and deposited them. Later that morning we saw the campground hosts come through and promptly take the recycling and dump it into the garbage dumpster. I was pretty angry and dug through the dumpster to retrieve our recycling. Everything else was great.
