What Guests Are Saying
Dumont Campground is praised for its stunning scenery, excellent hiking, and proximity to Dumont Lake, making it ideal for outdoor activities like paddleboarding and biking. The campground is clean, well-maintained, and offers large, private sites, although some are not level and may require leveling blocks. While there are challenges such as a lack of drinking water and significant mosquito presence, the overall atmosphere and beautiful wildflowers contribute to a positive camping experience.

Spacious sites is perhaps the high point. Good separation from your neighbors. Reasonable cell service. Location is great - hike, bike, fish, etc.
Not so good: No sign at the entrance to tell would-be campers that the campground is full. Consequently there were folks driving through at all hours looking for a campsite when none were available. A "FULL" sign would have helped. Hand pumped water. Old style outhouses.

We love Dumont Lake Campground. Easy hikes, great wildflowers, and hike to Rabbit Ears is a must.

I paid $20 to reserve site #4 before our trip out west and when we got there our site was taken and there was no camp host at the campground to help. We reserved because we weren't sure what time we would get there. It was also Sat night so we thought it would be busy and we wanted to make sure we had a place to camp. Since it was after 4:30 in the afternoon the phone number to call for help didn't have anyone working to help us. So I'm out $20 and we still had to find another campsite to stay in for the night. Totally disappointed in this service.

My favorite campground I have ever stayed at. We got unlucky with the weather and camped in the pouring rain, but it was a magical experience none the less. We saw two moose at the campground, with other campers reporting another moose nearby. The lake was so beautiful, I would love to see this campground during all four seasons!

Beautiful site, incredible wildflowers when we were there (late July), but the site is small and no apparent host available. On the other hand, all the sites are a bit removed from each other and the beauty of an alpine meadow campsite full of wildflowers is almost overwhelming.

From my campsite I had a great view across the valley, the area was full of wild flowers in bloom and my neighbors were quiet and far from my site. But you could hear the road traffic on US 40 and I had no shade.
