Our spot was right next to the bathrooms and there's no way to see that on the map when you book. The camp host was unkind - WAY better experience at Dowdy!

Bathrooms were clean, but sites need more attention cleaning tables, raking, cleaning off borders, cleaning out bear boxes, cleaning firepits

Camp hosts friendly, helpful and kept the place very clean. I've been going there for 50 years and I was impressed with how nice of a job they were doing.

We loved our stay at West Lake. It feels so good to be near any body of water in Colorado. We stayed at site 9 and just a heads up — the ground is pretty hard so you might want to bring a malet to stake in your tent or just hope you’re not there on a windy night. The site said it could hold up to 8 people but I don’t think it could comfortably accommodate more than 4 people / 2 cars. Definitely recommend this campground for people who like water activities or are interested in doing a day trip to Wyoming.
