Stillwater (Colorado)

We camped 2 nights in early Sep. 2019. Just a heads up the campsites are close together compared to other campgrounds. During our stay, there were afternoon thunderstorms that would come in pretty fast with really gusty wind and then move out just as fast. Even on a clear day be prepared for wind and it being pretty chilly at night that time of year. Due to the beetle kill there are not a lot of trees, only a handful, so I would bring a canopy or someway to make some shade. The campsite is kept very clean and the bathrooms were very clean as well. We had a spit right next too the bathroom, convenient but a lot of foot traffic by our tent. I would advise not picking a campsite near the bathroom as the bathrooms and shower houses are all within a short walking distance to any campsite. Also, I will say that if you have a large tent, like ours that sleeps 6-8, your tent may not fit on the tent pad, and they have pretty strict rules against setting up in the grass. If you have multiple parties trying to share a campground you will not fit with more than one large tent or more than two of those little igloo-looking pop-up tents. I would highly suggest reserving campgrounds next to each other. We enjoyed the water, next time we will bring more water toys. Most campsites have a beautiful view of the lake. There were lots of mountain flowers as well. Beautiful cozy little campground.

Wonderful location right on the water. Bring the toys and prepare for diverse Colorado weather.

Always clean, and no problem with reservations, ever! Also, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We absolutely love this campground and continue to return year after year!!

When we arrived one of the spots I reserved was taken by a self pay party because the site was not marked as reserved so I had to get a refund and wait until the next day to occupy that space which worked out ok in the end. Otherwise great camp site.

I used to love going here but now there are so many people with barking dogs that it way tooooo much like the city. Maybe you could have a section with barking dogs and screaming kids and an area for us old folks.

You need a generator policy. I had 3 generators around me that ran ALL DAY LONG and the camp host said that was allowed. We actually left early since it was so miserable. We will not return to any national forest campgrounds because of this. You really should put some limitations on generators. Any city noise ordinance would forbid this so why doesn't the national forest?
