We actually stayed 5 nights in this site (combining two reservations) and it was a fantastic way to spend the holiday weekend. Great site that felt pretty private from the others, and great water access for paddling. The camp hosts this summer were very helpful and friendly. Though full (as always) the campground was quiet all weekend - you'd have never known it was a big holiday weekend.

10 out of 10. Spaced out camp area, clean bath room, potable water near by. Close to water front of Dillion reservoir.

LOVED the camp site. We stayed at T6.
Just a FYI in case I'm not the only one that didn't realize we couldn't park our car in the site. Just so everyone knows this haha. It wasnt a huge dilemma but I was a bit bummed. It's nice to have your var right next to you. The site also provides the lockers to store your food and etc so thats a HUGE benefit. I'd say if you have a family of tents this site is your best bet too, there is plenty of room for a few tents. We have a 6 person tent and it fit perfect.

We loved this campground. The sites are pretty well spaced, and there are plenty of trees to offer most sites some nice privacy. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The location (right off the rec path) makes for a perfect basecamp for long bike rides in multiple directions. Our site had great water access, though we didn't have our boards/kayaks with us for this trip. The only thing I'd say about this particular site is - while it says it can accommodate trailers up to 35 ft, we have a 25 ft camper (27 ft hitch to bumper), and it was tricky backing into the site because of the angle and made for a somewhat snug fit with our tow vehicle parked parallel to the road. Weekend reservations can be hard to come by, but we'll make the effort & will definitely be back!
