Beautiful secluded spot. Can get a bit breezy & chilly at nights. Higher elevation than most accessible lakes. The drive from Dry lake is very bumpy, some might say rough. There are large rocks in road but can be driven around. The drive from Coalmont is about an hour but so much easier it isnt funny. Its a beautiful drive as well.

Didn’t make it up there from Steamboat as we just had a sedan. About a mile up from dry lake is a bad washout ditch that even trucks would struggle with. I heard they are talking about funding to repair road but obviously no progress as of sept 2024 ☹️

Breath taking views in late summer. Like camping inside a painting. From Walden into the mountains the road was smooth, but within the park it was very rocky and a little washed out, not keen on taking my sedan up there again but there was not any damage.

Great views of Summit Lake. Camp sites are relatively close together. Bathroom was not clean, but I didn't go for the clean bathroom so not a big deal to me.

Good campground, far from the crowds. Use East approach to get here as the West approach is 4wd high clearance only. Mosquitoes and flies are a constant so come prepared with netting, bug spray not enough.
