Small campground by Turquoise Lake. Some pull through spots, some back-in. It has a bathroom on either end, they were kept clean. The camp host was extremely nice and knowledgeable of the area. The lake is low with the current drought, and it was pretty hot for mid June. Camp sites 8 & 10 have no tree shade. Loved hearing the river at night and it's a quiet campground. Amazing views and hikes, great fishing! This is a great spot, highly recommend it.

Beautiful lakeside site, it was the quiet and perfect respite after a long day of off-roading. The bathroom was clean and stocked, our neighbors were respectful, would stay here again. Dog friendly but a few folks let their pups off leash.

The tent sites inland from the lake and stream on the hill side are very private. Some of the sites in the center or closer to the water are more exposed. Overall, camping at Turquoise Lake was a great experience. Even better if you can bring a boat to explore the lake. Sunset over the lake from a boat is something everyone biding should experience. The May Queen campsite does add significant travel time if coming from the Denver area. It’s at the far side of the lake from Leadville. Add an additional 30 minutes of driving to get around the lake from Leadville.
