Beautiful place. Great for mountain biking up to Alpine Tunnel or to Juanita Hot Springs. Lots of trees. Only wifi we could find in town was the corner store. Pond close by stocked with fish for the kids. There are some 4 wheelers that can be noisy at times but pros outweighs the con. Does not seem like a drought area. Very green and lysh.
A great experience! The 2021 campground hosts were very friendly. The bathrooms were kept clean and stocked with TP. A new, to me, feature is the light in the bathrooms, very helpful when getting up in the middle of the night. I've stayed in this campground many times and would go back again in the future.
Pitkin is our favorite place to camp. Clean campgrounds and quiet. Fun place to go roam the trails and fishing was also fun. They even have a kid pond to fish in! We will definitely be back to this place!
All the trails were beautiful lots to see
Cool little town that allows buggies and ATVs to drive through town. Lots of cool mountain trails that connect to Taylor Reservoir, Tin Cup and other cool places.
