This is a wonderful place to spent time in the summer, Cooler than most other areas in Colorado with plenty of thing to do (Swim, hike, 4 WD, explore) We come for the 4th of July and have always loved the area and this campground is quite and out of the way adding to it's splendor.

What a great place to camp. The site is so beautiful and quiet. You are just 5 min from town but a world away. The sites are clean well organized and bathrooms clean as well. We tent camped and the site was level and well tended. I would highly recommend staying here. We stayed here the weekend after July 4th 2019.
