We have been camping here for several years, never a bad experience. Always clean and well maintained. Amazing views, great hiking, and town close by if needed.

We had the most amazing site, view over the lake and mountains and it was huge. Clean vault toilet.
The only negative was that there were two guys oposite who were playing their music loudly, can't understand why such people camp in this kind of nature campground.
Oh, and the road in was the worst ever!

Go to spot for everything the Rocky Mountain life has to offer. Quick destination from Denver, modern benefits with views and the constant reminder you are in a nature bigger than you. Campground is therefore very popular with both locals and tourists. Locals find weekdays more pleasurable on vacation and tourists dominate the prime weather season July.

Wonderful campground, but noisy. Campers did not seem to care about barking dogs and partying past 10p. Otherwise, this could a wonderful camp spot and hope next year's camp host will take management of these things into consideration.

Road leading into the campground is very bad, either the Forest Service or Summit County needs to address this issue . The roads in the campground are well maintain.
