There were no camp hosts and the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper 3 days and they did not get cleaned the 6 days we were there. Also, the mosquitoes were terrible!! The wild flowers were amazing, there were tons of different varieties.

This campsite is amazing in so many ways. The sites are large and fairly private. The wildflowers were everywhere and it was quiet, which is exactly what we wanted. Do make sure to have extra toilet paper and your own firewood on hand, as there is no host on site as far was we could tell. The mosquitoes were atrocious our first day and night there, so bring bug spray. This campsite is also close to 10 ft in elevation, so it gets nice and cold at night. Steamboat is only 30 minute drive away. We will definitely be back!

Quiet campground. Lake within a short walk was beautiful. Saw an osprey catch a fish one morning. Some people fishing around the lake, some people mountain biking.

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.
