Very clean and well-kept. Nice sites, graveled, level good picnic tables and fire pits with adjustable grates. Sites work for tents, truck camping and some pull-throughs. Vaulted toilet facilities were very clean and had NO foul odor. Potable water via a hand pump. Bear proof trash containers. Good location for walking access to Spectacle Lake and Conejos River for fishing. There is a gate to access the river near the water pump. A drawback is that there are no hiking trailheads here the campground. Road 250 to the campground is in poor condition, washboarded for 6 miles.
