What Guests Are Saying
Skull Creek is a well-maintained, quiet campground offering plenty of shade and convenient access to hiking trails, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts. The sites are clean, and visitors appreciated the attentive campground staff. However, there is no water available on-site, and some facilities, like the back-in drive and toilets, could use improvements.

VerifiedJanuary 14, 2020 • Stayed at: 015, Loop: SKULL CREEK
The Campground was the most poorly maintained campground my wife and I have ever stayed. We drove all the way to Skull Creek from Loveland Colorado. Had we had extra time, that night, to find a more suitable location, we would have left and not returned.
Campground had cattle roaming around with lots of cattle droppings. The road around the site was poor at best. Camp sites were in extremely poor condition and were dangerous due to insufficient maintenance.
The National Park recreation System should take this campground off the internet site and declare it a hazardous campground and NEVER charge a fee for the use of the grounds.

Well maintained camp ground. It was a little warm during the day but cooled off at night nicely. One morning a herd of cows walked through our camp which was interesting to wake up to. :-)

We enjoyed our visit. Reservations were clearly marked on our campsites. Area was clean. It’s close to the dam. Bathrooms were adequate. They are small and older. I’d like to see hand sanitizer like I’ve seen at other campsites. My biggest complaint is no water.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
