Gorgeous campsite!!! The bathrooms were the cleanest I've seen. A bear box and picnic table are provided. But a few things were unfortunate: 1. They have a very fine powdery dirt at the campsite which stuck to everything. I've never been to a campsite with it before so if you have children or dogs they will get extremely dirty. 2. The firewood we purchased here was awful. It wasn't under a cover and was wrapped in plastic but I think it will got wet because we could not keep our fire going and tried so very hard. Just smoke. 3. It is very close to I-70 so we could hear traffic, especially at night time. 4. The small trash bins were very full. Also FYI black bears are very prevelant in the area so be prepared!

Camped in site 22 for Labor Day weekend. Most of the walk-in sites require a walk up a steep hill from the parking lot. Carrying our stuff was not easy, and I’m in pretty good shape. The campground also has no water. Other than that, the campground was nice and the bathrooms were clean.

This is a beautiful, smaller campground, just minutes from Vail. It's rather close to the interstate, so there is some road noise, especially in the closer sites (some sites are right on Gore Creek, and the creek muffles the traffic). However, the sites are relatively large and spaced nicely, and the host keeps the campsites and the pit toilets clean and nice. There are lots of hiking trails immediately adjacent to the campground, as well as a long bike path.
