Our site was right next to the rushing creek, so we slept to the sound of the water. The pit toilet was exceptionally clean. The views from the site were lovely, and a trailhead leading to so many miles of trail options was just steps away. So so pleased with this getaway, and no dealing with entrance reservations and crowds at Brainard!

Beautiful little campground. Our site was right on the river so we were lulled to sleep by that sweet sound. Our hosts were most entertaining including a night of Shakespeare by the campfire. The bathrooms were very clean and odor-free. The evenings were lovely to to take a walk down the road to Camp Dick. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place. It was very quiet and lived up to its name “peaceful “. The river was very pretty.

Not a good experience at all. Camping spots are crammed together. We might as well stayed home and camped with strangers in our double driveway. Won’t return.

Tim was the best camp host we have ever had and that is a span of over 10 years. He was filling in there temporarily before going to Rainbow lakes to host for the summer.

This is a beautiful spot between Jamestown and Lyons, which makes it a pretty quick trip out of Denver. We had our camper so the majority of the trip was fairly easy except for the last 20 mi or so that was a slow, steep vertical grade. The lush Aspen and pines trees make for incredible scenery around the campground but the campground itself is clear. The sites are pretty close together and don’t have any trees or natural obstacles for privacy. We had spot #3 so our picnic bench overlooked the rushing river and the trail opened up fight at our campsite.

Amazing campground with spectacular views. Camp Dick is next door and maybe not quite so windy.

Great campsite, very peaceful. However there was no water available. I had enough, but it is a negative factor for a longer stay
