Clean campground & toilets. Good cell reception (T-Mobile). Easy hiking trails around both lakes. Spacious & quiet campground. Website should update amenity info to reflect 30 Amp electrical hook up available at the RV sites. Also recommend the hike around Bellaire Lake. Lots of small wildflowers on the trails due to the recent rains.

I believe we should be entitled to some amount of refund. When we arrived at our site on Sunday May 21 we found that the water faucets were bagged over and out of use. The "host" told us that until test rests came back stating that the water was OK we would not be allowed to use campsite water. He did state that water was available in Red Feather Village at the public pump where donations were recommended and expected. The "host" speculated that "results" might be back on Monday May 22 but that did not happen. In fact the faucets we still closed on May 24 when we left.
In the past we have "Dry Camped" at various facilities where a discount was offered due to lack of water. No such offer was made here.

The camp site was large, scenic, and felt private from one site to the next. Restrooms were so clean. Trails were awesome. Will definitely go back! Camp hosts had it well taken care of.

Beautiful campsite! The park was busy but very quiet. Both West Lake and Dowdy lakes are perfect for kayaking. Enjoyed every moment...we'll be back.
