Beautiful views!!!! Located right in the heart of our favorites areas in colorado. Frisco only miles away which is a great place to spend a day. Only a short drive to vail and some great restaurants and breweries. This is a must stay spot! Great campsites, and very clean restrooms.

Nice campground with many good sites with a good view. However, a frowning, grumpy park ranger came to our campsite, marched through it, looked through the woods behind us like he was looking for contraband, and then left. As he was stomping back through our site, I said "Hi" and he just grunted back. We are retirees and certainly not doing anything wrong. We sure didn't feel welcome. We have found that Colorado parks typically have great staff, so this was a disappointing exception.

It was a short stay but we will be back. They are fairly private sites and overall it was very quiet. We were directly facing the lake so there was just a touch of road noise from across the lake... Nothing a little music or a crackling fire didn't cover up.

Easy reservation, beautiful views and scenery. Site was big enough as stated on website.
Close to Breck and Frisco but isolated from crowds

We love this campground. It is big, but never too wild or crazy.
