It was a nice campground. Very clean and well maintained. It had 2 picnic tables, a fire pit with grate, bbq and bear boxes. The bathrooms are well maintained. The water faucet was nice. There is a pretty creek and a gorgeous meadow with amazing views. However the sites are pretty far from the parking area. You have to lug all your gear about 150 yards up a gravely path. At elevation it’s definitely tiring and a lot of work to unpack and then pack up again. There was also a bunch of people shooting guns nearby (not in the campground) that was very annoying and unsettling. But all in all a nice spot and not too difficult to get to from Denver.
Absolutely loved this place. Meshed camp with others needing a spot and a moose walked right by their bed scared their dog. Then a deer went walking the other way. Girl you said you would send me a pic of that moose and when we got up you were gone. If you see this please I'm still waiting on that picture.
Beautiful destination. Pickle Gulch is well maintained, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the large camp site (#6), which camped over 15 people. The photo was from a very short hike I took from the campsite. Tent pads and common areas were top-notch.
My son's Trail Life Troop met here for a weekend camping trip and it was a fantastic spot! Be aware: zero cell coverage for most of us! (I have Verizon) Down along the river there were a ton of forts the boys enjoyed. There was so much room to explore and play. A fun geocache on the property too! Bathrooms were nice and clean, I saw them being cleaned while we were there. We hiked up the road to the playground and to enjoy the view. We even had a moose pass by! A great space overall.
We tried out pickle gulch during the first week of May. It was a difficult, yet fun trail. However, we were not able to continue past a certain point, due to there being some large snow drifts (still) and three FJ cruisers stuck in said snow drifts. Towards the beginning of the trail, we had a little difficulty getting up the first really steep hill via the bypass. In my opinion, the bypass is just as hard as the actual trail, if not harder. We ended up getting stuck and had to winch ourselves out. We did it in a '17 JKU sport with 31" tires and no lift. We would love to try it again when all of the snow has melted!
