Sugar Loafin' Campground

We would stay at this campground again. Nice variety of sites. Plenty of trees. Hookups worked great. Nicely stocked store that is open till 10:00pm! Showers, bathrooms, and laundry all were clean and in great working order. Host makes sure quiet hours are observed. We had a bit of road noise, but we're in a camper, and we wear earplugs, so not really a problem. We stayed in site 60 and then had to move to site 7. Location was perfect for the hikes we wanted to do, which included Mt. Elbert, Colorado's highest peak. Plus....free generous servings of yummy ice cream EVERY NIGHT! What more could you ask for? Thanks, Don, Mariana, Kayla, Jackson and Corie, for the wonderful stay!

Won’t ever stay here again. Bathroom facilities are nice but grounds were overgrown and bumpy so don’t expect your tables or chairs to sit comfortably. The hosts were rude and the “rules” of the grounds are not transparent until you check in. Curfew is 10pm so don’t expect to sit around your fire in to the evening. Also know that you can’t hold a normal conversation or play a small speaker in your site without the host “fining” you. There are also a ton of additional costs they don’t post until you get there. There is a limit of 2 people per site so we paid an arm and a leg just so our family of 4 could stay together. Also you can park a boat and your trailer in your spot but god forbid you have an extra vehicle. That goes straight to overflow parking for $10 a day but if the parking lot is full (of people who aren't even staying at the campground) then you are out of luck. The other fines and inconveniences go on. The only positive is its proximity to Leadville, lakes and other activities. I recommend staying somewhere else if you’re trying to just enjoy family time outdoors.

The campground was good and we enjoyed the stay very much. we did learn a lesson though ,be sure to lock things up or don't leave things like your expensive camera out to be seen.some one liked ours better than we did I guess and took it from our unattended vehicle. It had some very special pictures on it that we had not gotten taken off and developed yet so I hope they enjoy them.but we would stay again but remember to keep things under lock and key.

Not the place for groups larger than two people who want to also be outdoors while they camp. We made a reservation for four spots and were clear it was for a family gathering. We're all middle aged and fairly quiet... we found out on night ONE that talking in a whisper (the three of us still outside) was not allowed. Found out another day during broad daylight that chatting as a group was a "no." Even checked in with our fellow camping neighbors to apologize as the RUDE lady who shushed is said she'd "received complaints." They ALL stated they couldn't even hear us...? Shower facilities- dirty with only one working sink. I was approached AT the door as I left the shower by a very abrupt man asking if I was staying here. I pointed to the fluorescent pink tag in my car windshield and he stated "oh I didn't see it." Creepy to say the least. This after having TWO previous conversations with me. The place is a bumpy, uneven, weed and grass covered mess. Not scenic. Not pleasant on any level.

I give this campground 2 stars, 1 for easy location and the second for full hook ups! THATS IT!!! Sadly we spent close to 2k for 4 sites for a week, meeting up with family and friends from 4 different states. Obviously we spent most of our time outside of our rv’s visiting, playing table and yard games. We did all our cooking and eating outside. On multiple occasions the camp host stomped into our sites pointing her finger with an angry face telling us to be quiet as we had neighbors complain. So we took it upon ourselves to go apologize to each, each saying repeatedly we were not a problem at all! There was a big hassle with regards to the amount of vehicles we arrived with so we paid for spaces in the overflow parking only to find no space because they let some biking club use the parking lot (no parking permits in their windows)and use the play ground for some celebration but that noise was acceptable. We were not out past lights out always very respectful of this rule yet seem to be the target of the camp hosts hostility. Per Wikipedia the definition of camping is “ Camping describes a range of activities and approaches to outdoor accommodation.” Not to mention the ground was severely uneven and weeds up to our knees, the bathroom facilities had multiple non operational sinks n toilets. I think it’s time for this place to do some heavy maintenance and adjust their attitudes towards people who are actually CAMPING! 8/2024
