St. Louis Creek Campground

Great car camping spots. Clean toilets, knowledgeable camp ground hosts. Tent sites need some attention to create a less rocky base. Suggestion - Designated tent areas at camp sites need a finer aggregate base area with maybe a pole pine border... plenty of dead pole pine in the surrounding area to do this.

This is my favorite place in the world. My wife and I visited many years ago at the nadir of the beetle-kill tragedy, and the campground was a very sad-looking place. Today after a decade of Nancy’s steady nurturing care of the many hundreds of new saplings and the “business” of running the campground, it’s beautiful. There are still a lot of dead trees around the outer perimeter, but there’s so much fresh new life taking hold in the campground that it projects a powerful image of renewal. I’ve never been anywhere with such wonderful trails so close to the campground. You can get on your bike in your campsite and be on an outstanding and expansive trail system within 100 feet. We haven’t ever seen bears here, but we’ve seem many mule deer and moose, including one yearling bull who came so close he had to duck under our clothesline. We spent the last week of June and the first week of July here this year, and brought 2 hummingbird feeders. Our campsite became crowded with hummingbirds within 2 days - it was fantastic to watch them dogfighting and courting each other. We will really miss Nancy’s presence and her special touch that have made this campground as special as it has become. I am sure the hummingbirds will be disappointed next summer when they return. PLEASE BRING A FEEDER IF YOU VISIT!

My family loves to camp and this is a great location for hiking and mountain biking, but we had a really horrible experience with the host Judy and would never want to stay here because of her. She’s shockingly rude, offensive and aggressive in her behavior toward other people. I couldn’t believe her comments to us that “we should learn to read,” etc. We left telling our kids to never treat people the way Judy does. I hope they find a new host at some point so people can enjoy the campground.

We were in site 6. Close to the rest room. The host is very nice and keeps this campground very clean. Restrooms are the cleanest of any FS campground i have ever been to. The only complaint is there is no shade except for one site that is for tents.

St. Louis creek is a beautiful campground with very clean facilities, and hands down the BEST campground host we've had the pleasure of meeting in our travels. My only complaint is not with the campground itself, but with the Fraser Valley Lions Club or whomever is running the campgrounds in Grand County that don't allow reservations. We go camping most weekends at least 2-3 hours away from home. The last thing we want on a Friday after work is to drive multiple hours only to not be able to find a camping spot. Everywhere else in Colorado does it, just not Winter Park area campgrounds. Really wish they would change that or at least accommodate reservations AND first come first serve.
