Nice setting and easy walk to Lake Dillon, about 15 minutes from our campsite. Easy access to Silverthorne, about 10 minutes. Nice Alpine setting, be prepared for afternoon showers around 3PM to 5PM and then it clears up again. Campground and bathrooms were kept very clean and camp hosts were diligent on making sure noise and generator regulations were followed.

A nice little campground with spectacular views of the mountains. Sad that so many of the trees are gone, you can see the stumps of how many there used to be, but there are still some groves to be found in the right campsites. Great for car camping with a wilderness feel but a Walmart, grocery stores and REI not far away for easy resupply.
