Very nice campground. Most of the sites have growth between them so you feel like you have some privacy and are not right on top of your neighbors. Many great hikes in all directions. Bathroom (that we used) was clean and well maintained.

Loop D has incredible views of the lake and was so lovely. We went late in the season end it was often pretty windy and brisk. Easy access with Dillon just being a few minutes away. I would definitely camp here again.

We found a spot with some trees and it was lovely. Host was very friendly, more bathrooms than I've ever seen at a campground and they were all very clean. The doors to the bathroom were kept pinned open for ventilation in these COVID times, and I thought it was nice. Great experience!

This campground has beautiful views and plenty of space at each site. My only complaint was that there isn’t any hand sanitizer in the pit toilets.

Great location. Enough distance between sites that it did not feel crowded. Easy to get to the bike path.
