Stillwater (Colorado)

The location of the campground is absolutely beautiful. On a hillside overlooking Lake Granby and mountains. Couldn't be better. Unfortunately, the description of the campsites on the web leaves a lot to be desired. Our site, C095, was listed as being able to accommodate a 40-foot RV. It didn't mention that the site is nowhere near level, curves awkwardly, so that we could not position our trailer except JUST into the site, and could not actually pull-through without severely dragging the back end of our trailer, due to the unfortunate upward hill on the pull-out end of the site. After pulling in and discovering we couldn't get far enough into the site to position the trailer correctly, it took 45 minutes of maneuvering to back out, and then had to drive back in over the grass, leaving the door to our trailer about 2 feet from the edge of the road.

We talked with other people in this campground who had similar experiences - sites listed as 40 feet, but would barely fit 30 foot trailer, trucks having to park sideways into the road in front of their trailers, etc.

The showers are located in a couple of the bathrooms, and most were out-of-order. The few that we found were working were not clean.

All that said, the camp hosts in our loop C were awesome - working very hard to chop up, dig out, and spray weeds, as well as removing remnants of burned logs from the fire pits, filling us in on local attractions, etc. Thank you to Tim and LuAnne!

In Grand Lake, we highly recommend the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre company on Grand Avenue in town. Wonderful productions, excellent casts. We saw "Beautiful" and loved it.

Site was excellent with electricity and water available and view was great of the lake and area surrounding the lake.
Camp Host was friendly and answered all my questions.

If I could give this review 1,000 stars, I would.

Good substitute camp site for closed willow creek campground.

Happy and camp host Bob was super helpful. I was frustrated that the 1st come/serve was abused. I think the rules need to be applied. There were several sites that people came and paid in advance but came days later or, never occupied the site. We were there on site for 5 days and sites were open past the24 hours and unoccupied. Mr. Robinson and Bob helped me put eventually and I am grateful for the opportunity.
I think the lack of opportunity to book online when the cancelation is within 5 days is not working and the forest could be making more money if they opened those canceled sites immediately. There really needs to be another way to learn of immediate or same day cancelation for those that can occupy no less waiting on site. FCFS needs a different protocol.

Great site and amenities. Only draw back is concrete parking blocks in sites can be an issue for longer rigs.
