No campground host, so bathrooms were not always stocked with toilet paper. Toilets needed to be cleaned out. The pumps were not available for water. A lot of the sites were not occupied even though they had tags and were not available on-line either.

Spot 13 *should not* be a trailer spot for anything larger than a combined vehicle+trailer length of about 25 ft, regardless of what the reservation system says/allows.

This campground is a wilderness wonderland. Lush with flowers, grass, forestry and views of meadows. Short walk to the
Dumas Lake. Cleans bathrooms, secluded camp spots.
Dirt road could use some maintaining of the deep holes making a very slow drive with an RV.

Will return for a longer stay...high elevation, cool weather was nice too.

The campground is beautiful and well-maintained. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the wells were not working when we went.

Campground was very dusty and mosquito infested, so it took away from the enjoyment of its use. Also, there is no water available. however the wild flowers were very good and there is convenient access to a nice hiking trail and to Dumont Lake.

Dumont lake is incredible. Visited there once on a day trip and now returned for a 4-night camping trip. Would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for a quiet get away with family, friends, or even solo! The water spiggots were not were working and we were notified in advance (way to go Recreation.gov) so we came with plenty of water. Tremendous amount of muskitos, but that can't be changed by the host! :) Please visit here but don't tell too many people!

Beautiful location but lots of mosquitoes at the end of June. Would have rated 4 stars due to the condition of the roads and sites. They could use some grading and leveling. I knocked the rating down to 3 stars because of issues. We arrived on opening day to day to discover there was no water. The one hand pump had not been working for 4 years and the other broke the previous year. There was no warning about this. Nearest water was Steamboat Springs (~24 mi). We received an alert about the water 3 days after we arrived. Second issue was the outhouses. Although they did check toilet paper supplies, the outhouses were not cleaned during our 4-night stay. Needless to say they were rather dirty by the time we left.
