Although we didn't have a view of the lake, it was in close walking distance. The bathroom was very clean. The camp hosts were friendly and very helpful.

If you are a cyclist, you could not ask for a better location to access the network of bike paths that go to Vail, Breckinridge, Keystone, and around Lake Dillon. If not, you’d still enjoy this beautiful campground. The drawbacks are pit toilets and no showers, and the campground has no dump station. Even using your own camper’s facilities, a long stay could be a problem if you fill up your waste tanks. The pit toilets are kept in an immaculate condition with no odors, so that’s not too bad, but I’d say the lack of a dump station is a big drawback.

We were in Loop A and there was no restroom not even a pit toilet or any running water.

Best spot for tent camping, its a bit more tucked back, we brought a wagon to haul our stuff back, which was much better. Bathrooms were clean, hosts were nice, a bit of noise after 10pm though from other campers staying up and partying. I didn't care too much, but if you are someone who can't sleep with noise bring ear plugs because no one patrolled and told the multiple parties to quiet down.
