Fantastic remote campground. Just 2 1/2 hours from Colorado Springs, but far far away from city life. High altitude (over 10,000 ft). We stayed at site #8 which backed up the the creek and trails going to Blue Lake and on to Bear Lake. We were tent camping, though others had RVs. The road up to the campground is gravel and washboard in spots, but easily navigated in our mini van. The site was gorgeous, with wildlife sightings, very friendly chipmunks and blue jays and camp robbers that came right up to the picnic table to say hello. The site was super clean and spacious. We had tons of privacy. The creek was wonderful to listen to, watch the waterfalls and follow the many winding trails. We went in late September, and the nights were quite chilly. But we loved every moment.

Beautiful country side, just the scenic drive is beautiful and breath taking. I will be coming back soon, the campgrounds are well kept bathrooms are cleaned daily as I presumed because it was always clean.

We could not have had a better time. Mary and Dan, the camp hosts taking care of both blue and bear lake campgrounds, did an excellent job. We brushed up on bear-country safety protocols and slept well in this beautiful site! Sites included table and fire pits (though due to a spring drought the fire pits were out of commission -> for good reason. Even though it rained while we were there, the forest had a burn ban and it's important to adhere to those rules for everyones safety). The campground had the CLEANEST camp toilets I've ever seen, and a central water pump was available for use. We'll be back!

Gorgeous place! Campsites were all wonderful, the creek running through was a great touch. Shade, good fire pits, tables, clean bathrooms, and great trails up the mountain to ATV!
