Chapman Campground

Amazing views and scenery not to mention all of the wildlife. Very peaceful and clean. Restrooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Camp host Patty was always friendly and helpful. No cell service of any kind, and must be Bear aware and also watch for Moose.

Stunning drive up to this campground! You lose cell service about 50 mins out but the gorgeous drive makes up for it. Winding through mountains and passing Reudi Reservoir really make it special. The campground itself was quiet and beautiful with its own small reservoir that we caught a lot of fish in and did some kayaking. Many of the sites are out in the open with little shade, but there are a few in loop F that are set back in the aspens that are more private. We were in one of those and had deer passing behind us on multiple occasions! The bathrooms were also truly the cleanest I have ever seen at a campsite, and I've been to a lot of them. Highly recommend!

Looking for peaceful? Looking to unwind and decompress from reality for a bit? Looking for beautiful views, or peaceful sounds of river to help you relieve the stress? Dozens of “back country” sites I’ve visited and Chapman easily places in the Top 3. We went during the week. Monday thru Thursday. Active but not to active. Quite enough to have your peace. Sites spread far enough apart you aren’t sitting on top of your neighbors. Scenery, off road trails, hiking, big Reservoir, plenty of river spots for kids to play. Ample fishing on the Frying Pan river. This place has it all. Also- cleanest vault bathrooms you’ve ever seen. And great hosts. Recommend 5 out 5.

One of the best maintained campgrounds I’ve seen. Hosts are extremely nice and keep campground very clean. Campsites located far from each other to give you privacy and nearby river and lake add up to an amazing scenery. There’s no phone coverage. Drive from the Basalt is beautiful, so even the ride there is worth it. Also a good place to spot deers, groundhogs and foxes.

We love going here. Quiet, peaceful campground with some great river front sites. No hookups and no cell phone service. Potable water available and newer, clean vault toilets. Well maintained campground with the best hosts and good fishing at the reservoir, river, nearby lakes and Ruedi. A lot of hiking opportunities, too, and atv trails (no atv’s allowed in the campground)
