On our next visit we are bringing a hummingbird feeder. The hummingbirds were trying to feed on anything that was red. Fun to watch.

We stayed at Site 18 which is a large site and fairly secluded. There is a concrete pad with a picnic table, grill & fire pit. There are shade trees, but the sun in July left the site fairly exposed until early evening. The pit toilets are maintained and just two sites away. We had a wonderful time, but next time we will try to stay in Loop C which is closer to the rushing creek.

Our family reserved the sites 17-20 in B loop for a camp with our 3 adult sons and their families. Grandkids were able to ride bikes 'round and 'round the loop until dark with no fear of cars. kids and dogs also enjoyed playing in Thomas Creek behind the campsites. Beautiful hike to Island Lake with many more hiking trails we didn't have time to explore. Bathrooms were spotless and camp host friendly and helpful.

Absolutely beautiful area! Only stayed one night on our travels to Colorado, but will definitely be back. Can’t wait to hike, fish, and explore more of the canyon.

What an amazing and beautiful place! Mountain peaks in all directions. Easy access to great hikes, waterfalls, lakes, healthy creeks, wildflowers. Just incredible!

This place surpassed all my expectations. While visiting in early June, the creeks were all rushing with running water that gave me a soothing feeling and drowned out any sounds of nearby neighbors. There was still snow on the top of the mountains melting. The campsite and bathroom were clean and nice. The campsite host answered all my questions about the area, and recommended trails. I did not see a single piece of trash while visiting. I highly recommend site number 31 for it's proximity to the creek. I did not get any bug bites. The canyon was beautiful day and night.
