Customer Reviews
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay! The entire campgroud was extremely clean from the camp site to the restrooms. My wife and I were very impressed with it all, and the kiddos had a blast as well. Bob was the camp host, and he was very nice and helpful with all our questions and concerns. We will absolutely be coming back to Lottis!
It's a beautiful camp ground. I enjoyed the accommodations and fishing and everything else that made it so much fun. I'd recommend everyone participating in the great outdoors to give this place a try.
Delightful smaller quiet campground 55 minutes From Buena Vista, 45 from Crested Butte, and 15 from Almont. Very clean. Camp host was great to me and my guests but a bit gruff with others. One bar of service in some areas for basic texts Stsrlibk worked well from Baldy loop. Walled the dogs and rode bikes towards the Lorris Creek trailhead for lovely dips in the creek. Great mix of shade and sun. You are in a canyon but still have eaylifhr as of 7:30pm in August. Cottonwood pass is well maintained in summer. Website says one vehicle. There's Def room for two and an rv at most sites from what we saw.
This place is one of the most gorgeous yet calming places one can stay with either a camper or a tent. Just an advisory it is located in a hole surrounded by mountains. Most of the routes there can be quite dangerous, especially Cottonwood Pass. In general, it is still such a wonderful place. And yes there is no signal 👍
Beautiful campground. We were in the Baldy loop. Nice hosts, clean bathrooms and campground. Beautiful trees and surroundings. It's in a canyon, the sun rises here later in the morning. It was still cold at night when we stayed mid-June and cool days, warm when the sun was shining. Close to Taylor Reservoir and the river. Lottis Creek was also moving fast and loud when we were here, you could hear it all the way into our campsite. In case this helps you, there's very little cell service here, in and out, we could text and sometimes send an email. No calls. We had AT&T and TMobile both, similar experiences.
