Absolutely beautiful and peaceful location! Loved our stay. It was close to Breckenridge so we could go do some ski resort summer activities.
Only downside was we had rowdy neighbors up till about 4am making lots of noise. The camp helpers did ask them to leave the next day but it made for a very long night.

The campsite was in a beautiful spot and was well kept. The bathroom (drop toilets) was fully stocked with toilet paper. Some of our neighbors were noisy in the middle of the night, which can happen anywhere. Even with low water levels the walk to the water was gorgeous and we enjoyed paddle boarding and the convenience of walking over to the water from our campsite.

Nice spot very secluded. Did not see a camp host the entire 4 day trip.

I had a great view from my campground. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There are also a few short hiking trails around the Lake. There is an easy trail that takes you to the water's edge at Lake Dillon. A very beautiful place.

We stayed in the A loop - plenty of space betwen sites (seemed to be that way for all loops). Very quiet campground. Campground didn't have any water but that's hopefully only a temporary situation and not really their fault. Vault toilet was immaculately clean. Campground host very friendly and I saw her/them patrolling around in their golf cart on a number of occasions. Fire ban in the whole White River forest (which this campground is in) meant no campfires while we were there :-( Excellent cell phone and mobile data reception (T-Mobile)

On the campground website it stated that there was potable water available. When we arrived, there was not water available.
