Tetilla Peak Campground offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for those seeking tranquility in nature. Many visitors appreciated the spacious and well-maintained campsites, as well as the good water supply. However, there are notable concerns regarding the outdated and poorly maintained bathhouses, as well as issues with road conditions and a lack of on-site management. Despite these drawbacks, many campers expressed a willingness to return, valuing the campground's serene environment and affordability.

Beautiful and quiet campground! The water hookup wasn't too tasty, and the sites could've used a bit of trimming. But the view of the lake and peaceful dark skies made up for it.

This campground is not for people who want privacy, it is on top of a low butte overlooking a lake with very little scrub brush so you’ll see all your neighbors. However the views - especially the sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. And when I visited, early September the weather was great - sunny, mid 70s with a steady, cool breeze.
Only thing I was not so happy with was the lack of any sign of the hosts. No checking in/ going over rules, no verifying everyone there had paid, no notices/posting of which spots were already reserved. Very lackadaisical - unless there didn’t happen to be hosts?

Wonderful view, quiet, nice campsites (in the main loop, inner sites are the largest), good w/e. A little out of the way and in spots, you’ll find some ruff patches. If you like the solitude of boondocking, you’ll like this.

Good - the water was on, the bathrooms were clean and functional, and it was a great view. Bad - the campsites were overtaken by huge ants, goatheads, and some other weeds with very tiny burs. We are still finding those tiny burs in our house from the trip. There's also no natural shade. If you are in a camper, it probably won't be much of an issue, but we were in a tent. Also, there were people coming and going it seems like all hours of the night, so lots of talking and headlights. And if you plan to come here to get away from fireworks for 4th of July (like we did, for our dog), there were a ton along the lake, and they seemed to go on all night.

It was good, the campsite was clean. There are no trees so I don’t recommend going when the weather is really hot if you are tent camping. The shelters provide a little relief, but that’s about it. It was otherwise pretty standard. The amenities are not new but everything worked and I personally didn’t have any issues. Not all campsites have grills, and campfires are not allowed. Luckily we had a little stove to use. The campsites are just a short walk downhill and there are plenty of little spots to hang out around the lake. The views are beautiful.
