Beautiful views of the canyon walls. A small stream flows through the center of the campground providing some nice white noise in the background. Well kept picnic tables and fire rings. The camp hosts were very welcoming and had firewood for sale at their site. You can clearly hear cars on the highway as they pass by (to be expected at the sites at the front of the campground), but they are not that frequent. Probably not an issue toward the back. There is hiker parking for the Columbine trail at the trailhead. Multiple pot toilets and drinking water faucets around the campground, a short walk from any site.

Beautiful, hidden gem of a campground. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Wonderful trailhead right at the campground. Very relaxing listening to the creek/river that runs through the entire area.

Beautiful campground with a nice trail. It would be perfect if they let you fill up your tank with water & had showers.

Very nice campground right at the base of the Columbine Canyon trail that leads up into the wilderness area. The 2023 hosts are great! - very friendly and helpful. Vault toilet was uber-clean and the water very good. The creek runs right down through the middle of the campground providing beautiful sound, and it also helps to mask any noise from other campers. Be prepared for cool mornings though– since it's in a canyon the morning sun doesn't get there right away.
