Beautiful campground. My brother fished and I read a book by the reservoir. The vault toilets are very clean. The campsite was big enough for 2 two-man backpacking tents. Would definitely camp there again.
Such a beautiful area. Friendly hosts. Close to the reservoir and Cascade Falls trail. No shade at our campsite and we had to walk up stairs to get to it, but it was built up to be a nice little spot.
Beautiful and amazing campground! Camp sites are well defined and easy to find. The bathrooms are very well kept. However, there are no showers. That's just fine to experience such a gorgeous reservoir!
This campground was the best one out of 4 campgrounds that we stayed in Colorado. What makes it great? First, when compared to private/ commercial places, you are not piled in tight with other people. Here, we were at about 25 feet from the nearest site and there were trees between us. Second, the view from our site (A23) was great- even though we could not see the lake. If you look at the photos, our RV was above the table and fire pit. Other sites were reversed (the table and pit are above the road). Third, the cost was $26. Finally, the lake area, while being about half a mile away, is beautiful with lots of trees and there were a lot of people fishing. There is a ramp to launch boats. The road to the campground is paved for a few hundred feet and the dirt part was maybe a mile long but very flat.
Camp hosts take lots of pride in taking care of the campground. I can't believe I'm saying this but they have the cleanest bathrooms (not flushable toliets) I have ever seen at a campground. Probably even cleaner than some restaurants and for sure convenience stores. It's a beautiful campgrounds lots of hummingbirds so bring your portable hummingbird feeder :)
