Very convenient for hiking the many tails in the area, we hiked Mitchell, Blue lake, Isabell Lake, Niwot ridge and Pawnee pass in our week there. Restrooms were clean. Local moose bedded down behind the restroom several nights.

I love Pawnee Campground. Spacious sites, clean, and quiet. And then there’s the view.

Very peaceful and restful, other than some annoying dog barking. Restrooms were clean. Be nice to have a vendor offering ice to campers.

Great walk-in campsite! The hosts do a great job keeping the vault toilets and surrounding area clean. The campsites felt nicely spaced out from our neighbors, giving us a good sense of privacy. The site is surrounded by trees, although the main open area itself isn't very shaded. We loved this campsite and would definitely book it again!

Stayed at campsite 10 in the Elk loop. Overall the camping was great! Only downer about this site specifically is there is no shade, so recommend bringing a shade canopy if you snag that site. But otherwise the facilities were well maintained and the host was super nice! Would recommend.

Always a nice experience in the fresh mountain air. Much busier than in past years, people everywhere.
