This campground is made for tents, truck camper toppers or small travel trailers. If you have a travel trailer longer than 24 ft you are going to have a hard time finding a spot or backing in if you are still beginner level. There is a lot of decorative rocks placed on the edge of the road making it harder to back in. Be careful driving through the campground if you have a travel trailer. There are some trees that are too close to the road and if you are not paying attention your trailer is going to run into it. All the spots are NOT LEVEL. You will need to bring lots of blocks to make your camper level. Looking at 4 to 8 inch lift correction to get level. If you need cell signal you will need to drive towards Allenspark and park next to the fire station and The Old Gallery store.

Note: No water at campground. Otherwise, great! Close to good hiking, lots of shade and space between campgrounds. Caretaker was kind and came to explain rules, good culture from campers where ppl were quiet 10 to 6, and nice to walk around. Clean bathrooms, great views. Will come back.

We have been camping a lot at campgrounds across the country. By far this place had the cleanest restrooms and nicest camp host I have ever experienced.

Great location, site 55 was awesome, fun rocks, relatively secluded, close to bathroom without risk of smell. Hosts checked in frequently.

I really enjoyed this campground! The location was lovely, the camp hosts kept everything clean, and each of the sites was well appointed with tent pad, picnic table, bear box, fire pit and grill. Sites were spread out, and there was plenty of shade from the trees. I can't wait to go back!

A well taken care of campground! Camp hosts were great, spaces are spread out, and we saw elk and moose on the edge of the campground. Easy 25min drive to RMNP. Would highly recommend.

The campgrounds were nicely maintained and the camping spots had some decent distance between them. We really appreciated the bear food lockers at each camping spot which made storing our food easy.

Loved our campsite! Well spaced out campsites with very manicured spaces. Easy to get to from Denver. The host was very friendly. Had a great time!
