This campground is a family favorite. The sites are beautiful and not too close together. Cell coverage is good, if that matters to you. Lots of hiking nearby and of course Lake Dillon!

Memorial Day is a nice time to camp here. You don’t have the craziness of holiday crowds like over 4th of July. The restrooms were exceptionally clean and maintained. The only negative was the lack of firewood for sale in anticipation of the holiday campers. Overall, wonderful experience!

Such a great experience. This was our maiden voyage with our camper. We were in campsite #91 and it was the perfect view of the mountains as loop E was settled a little higher than the others. The site and bathrooms were exceptionally clean. The camp hosts were great as well. We will definitely be back.

Great stay with great friends! We would recommend this location to anyone who wants to fish or wants to take a leisurely trip into Breckenridge.

This is a great campground with some limited hiking. My wife and I love this as the quality of the campground is fantastic, it has views, and enough activity for us on a relaxing weekend. This can also be a base camp for those willing to drive short distances to other things.

We love this campsite. This is our second time visiting and although the site says that there isn’t much tree coverage for shade, we feel like there is. We bring our 2 dogs and they love it! Whenever we feel like getting out to tent camp, this is our first option and recommend it for anyone looking to get some fresh air.
