Very clean bathrooms, always well stocked and generally free of odors and bugs. Thanks, hosts! Generous separation of campsites. Good windbreak for wind off lake at Site 10. Dowdy is a better recreation lake, but West is superior for chilling. We LOVE the belt of natural landscape between campsites and lake shore with its mix of grasses, wildflowers, shrubs, and baby pines, so easy on the eyes! Fishing has been lackluster during our visits, but warm summertime water temps are probably mostly to blame. Good fishing a short drive away at the only natural Red Feather lake; do your research.

In May, stayed in site 26. That is a good site. However, it snowed for 4 days. Still enjoyed it tho. Site #29, we had issues with the electrical. Site 23, is not for handicapped. I fell on the stairs and almost hit my head on the rv. A railing needs to be on the stairs. Had a beautiful view, a crane was visiting the lake, eagles chased our dog, and a mule deer ran on the other side of the picnic table one evening. Hosts were so nice, helpful, and maintained the sites and bathrooms very well. We love it up there!

I love Westlake and Dowdy and the Camp host Nikki is always excellent, I wanted to stay longer and she helped me find another spot. The place is always clean and the bathrooms are excellent and the Campos are always available, highly recommend Westlake, although I love it and it’s hard to get into.
