Customer Feedback:
"I wasn't sure how great a remote campsite would be, but I was pleasantly surprised. Most of the sites that are closest to the lake have beautiful 180° views... The staff who take care of must take great pride in their work!"
"Wonderful campground, lake front spots, only $25. Firewood onsite is $9... A nice thing about it is that the restrooms are not too far away..."
"We stayed in early Sep, was warm in day & cold at night. Great stargazing we saw the Milky Way with our bare eyes. Road to the campground is very well maintained too for a dirt road it was no problem, campers & trailers would be fine to get here."

I wasn't sure how great a remote campsite would be, but I was pleasantly surprised. Most of the sites that are closest to the lake have beautiful 180° views. The campground itself is far enough away to be remote, yet close enough to civilization to drive for supplies, firewood, etc. (there's even firewood available at the camp hosts' spot). I also have to say that -- for a campground -- these are the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen. The staff who take care of them must take great pride in their work! In addition, every site appeared to have a large bear box, which will fit most decent size coolers and plenty of other supplies. Campsites also have a nice permanent metal grill with an adjustable grate. Personally, I stayed at site 59. It is a little bit of a walk from the parking space, but it boasts views of the lake, the mountains, and a nearby stream. A nice thing about it. Is that the restrooms are not too far away... But the fact that it is close to the lake and to the stream would make it a good spot for both adults and children. Just remember to bring some sort of shade, as there are not any trees near site 59.
Wonderful campground, lake front spots, only $25. Firewood onsite is $9 They have a few vault toilets throughout the campground Some tent only spots (no vehicle at campsite but vehicle is only 30-40yards away) Mostly drive up spots vehicles directly next to the campsite We stayed in early Sep, was warm in day & cold at night. Great stargazing we saw the Milky Way with our bare eyes. Road to the campground is very well maintained too for a dirt road it was no problem, campers & trailers would be fine to get here.
Wonderful spot to camp!! View of Lake Granny. The Continental Divide Trail is easily accessible. Toilets are clean. Stage 2 fire ban made for an interesting food panic, but we managed. Definitely gets cold at night, so layer up!
We stayed at Big Rock Campground, which is nicely wooded. We saw moose each day we camped there, so I'd recommend that CG for wildlife viewing. It's a 10 min walk to the lake, so if you'd rather be closer to the water look at Moraine or Roaring Fork CG. Only gripe is that people speed along the road that connects them all, so find a site on one of the loops. Running water available in all loops.
Great place to camp! Quiet! Lots of deer, Elk and occasionally a bear. Some campgrounds are right up against the lake! Great fishing..camp host was very helpful
