Very beautiful location. We tent were tent camping. Camp sites are very private. The facilities were very clean. The campground was closing for the season. I will definitely come back. The Damn Brewery has great food. Saturday is prime rib night!

Beautiful, quiet, but with great access to food, etc. Just stayed one night on our way across the Rockies, but enjoyed very much. 34’ Class A towing.

First time at this campground - usually we stay on the south side of the lake. Very pleasantly surprised here, we will be back. Didn't hear too much road noise from the highway and felt farther out of town the we really were. The roads are paved so that helped cut down on extra dust and our kids could loop around on their scooters. We came in the fall so the reservoir was very low but we will come back in the summer and bring our paddle boards - can just walk out to the water from our site to put in! Even with low water we could hike around the shore and explore. The hosts were also super nice and kept the bathrooms very clean. The sites are a little close but everyone was very respectful and we hardly noticed.

Beautiful campgrounds! Will definitely return. You will hear I-70 from most spots, but traffic dies down in the evening.

I truly enjoy how close this site is to Denver. It’s so conveniently located: right off I-70. What more can you ask for? Proximity to all the amenities and retail centers in Dillon is a massive bonus. Hard to beat this campground’s location. Also, the vault toilets are some of the cleanest I’ve ever seen (even if you can smell bleach)
