Honestly one of the best and cleanest campground. Im not just a seasonal camper, camped hundreds times on paid, reserved, remote or dispersed campsites all over States and Europe. Toilets clean, well ventilated, maintained twice daily. Artesian water on campground accessible thru hand pump so no need to drag gallons of water. We boiled it for drinking and cooking and turned out fine. Camp hosts were awesome! Made rounds around campsites twice daily socializing and making sure everyone was well, not invasive. What is really unique about this place is its secluded location, near Chalk Creek between two high mountains with awesome peaks views and high altitude easily accesible. I slept like baby even though our dog was going crazy with chipmunks running around. Peaceful atmosphere, cascaded spots with enough privacy, sound of creek at night, crisp air makes perfect for relaxing. Bonus of the stay was on our last night camp hosts came and serenaded us with acoustic guitar Take Me Home,Country Road. That was awesome! Will definitely come back another time.

My favorite campground, ever. This is our second time staying in this campground and we've had wonderful experiences both times. This last time that we went, our hosts were such kind and beautiful people! They went to everyone's campsites during the evening, guitar in hand and began to play a song. It made us very happy and truly welcomed. We go camping often, and I had never had hosts like them. My kids love it here, and we will absolutely be going again.

Absolutely beautiful! Setting.
Campgrounds were immaculate. The camp host is warm and kind + a wealth of knowledge about the history surrounding the location.
Recommend sites on the outside loop as inside loop lack privacy however not a deal killer what so ever. Family friendly.

The Mount Princeton area is full of things to do for every age. Near the campground are hiking trails for novice to serious hikers; Stream and lake fishing for all skill levels for those that want to get a line wet; St. Elmo ghost town is a great day trip with a lot of historical sites to take in; and a short trip to visit Buena Vista and Salida for some exceptional local dining. K's Dairy Delite (burgers), Simple Eatery, and Eddyline in BV are favorites. Amicas, Moonlight, and Las Camelinas in Salida never disappoint. Both BV and Salida have fantastic public parks for kids of all ages. A note for campers - potable water and RV dump station available at the visitor's center at Hwy 285 and US 50.

Very quiet campground, back in the woods but close to trails, horseback riding, and the Hot Springs. The camp hosts are friendly, helpful and personable. Clean site, nice tent pads, and good fire ring.
