Beautiful NF forest! As such, no hookups, but with basic restroom. Lots of privacy between campsites. Also next to the trailhead of the North Crestone Trail. In summer though, beware of the mosquitos, lots of them!!

Stayed on July 2nd and it was supposed to be a one night deal, we liked the campground so much we stayed another night. Lot 8 was probably the best out of all the campsites very secluded and very quiet back off the road besides the water. Was absolutely beautiful and we plan on coming back in the future. If you're planning a trip, make sure to bring bug spray, other than that, enjoy nature. Also, the water is very fresh and great for drinking. ...we stocked up :)

I love this place. When the camp closes there is wild camping right next to it, making it my favorite destination of all time.

We love this place, camping by a mountain stream cascading over boulders. It is quiet with easy access to hiking and the village of Crestone. Clean pit toilets.

Knew nothing of this campground when I first saw it online. Only 13 spots with 12 on a stream. Seems to be very popular with the locals. Heavily wooded with varying space between the campsites. I could see one other campsite from mine and no others. Heavy woods on the one side of stream and high rock wall on the others side. 2 vault toilets, one next to the fee box and one at the end of the road at the trail head. I highly recommend, in fact I'll be back soon. Gas and food in the town of Crestone. You have to pass through it on the way. That is the ONLY close town. Interesting place, keep an open mind !
