Overall the campground is in a good location. It's far enough away from the highway, but you can still hear some traffic noise. The sites are well spread out. There are multiple vault toilets, and ours was very clean. The water pump nearest to us was broken - we had enough water, so I didn't check to see if there was another. Our site had no shade, so that was tough in the middle of the day.

Beautiful, peaceful location. Sites feel less on top of each other than many other campgrounds, which is much appreciated!

Busy campground, site 15 probably most private but you still can see straight into site 14 if you happen to have neighbors. Buggy, but other than that excellent site. Some of the best stargazing I've seen in CO.

My favorite campground. Sites are spread out so more privacy than most campgrounds. So much open space in the campground vs. cramming another dozen sites in. The wildflowers were amazing in camp and on the surrounding trails. Being able to access the trails directly from the campground is awesome. Having Dumont Lake right there is just icing on the cake. Site 13 is on a slope so not optimal but not overly problematic.

The Campsites are huge and well-maintained. "Neighbors" are very far away, and our site had lots of mature trees, plenty of parking for our 2 cars, and a big flat area for our 6-person tent. The hiking in August was beautiful with all the wildflowers. We also went paddleboarding and swimming in Lake Dumont. Steamboat is about 30 minutes away, and we went into town to thrift shop, get coffee, and eat dinner. We also hiked the Skyline section of Fish Creek Falls. We highly recommend spot #10 in this campground.

This is a lovely place to camp.
Please update trailer length information for campsite 12. It is listed as 30 ft in length but a large root in the center makes it hard to park a trailer with normal clearance. Campers have had to give up on the site and hope for a FF opening. Thanks.
