Easy to access. Pit toilets are clean. Views are great. Minutes from Bierstadt trailhead. We stayed at site 16. Was level enough for pop-up. Sites 10,11, 12 are a very short hike in, but are riverside. They are very beautiful. If I was tent camping, I'd go for one of those. :)

We camped here August 2024. It was absolutely beautiful, with a creek running by each tent campsite. We had booked a walk-in site (site 12) without realizing it and we were hoping to change sites, but the posts on each site were not up to date and the camp host was MIA for hours. We only learned that the reservations were not correct when we started setting up in a site that said it was available but then someone showed up with a reservation for it. Our site was lovely and quiet, but for a single night it was a lot of work to drag all our stuff out to it from the parking spot. If the camp host had been available we could have potentially switched sites, but we never were able to contact them and had no cell service to call anyone. The campground itself was amazing, I just wish we would have had a better camp host experience. If I were to camp here again, I would book site 8 for my tent! It's very close to the creek and you park at your site.

4 stars for the mosquitoes, 5 stars for everything else I stayed at site #14. - The tent pad had privacy thanks to surrounding trees, but you’re still visible to your neighbors / vice versa from the picnic table + fire pit area of the campsite. - Partial shade in the tent pad area thanks to the trees, depending on the time of day - The creek directly behind the campsite offered great white noise at night for sleeping (there is still minimal road noise) - Mosquitoes surprisingly weren’t bad during morning or evening when they usually are, but were brutal during the day. I recommend bringing an extra screen shelter if you have one. - Getting to the campsite involves a short walk down a hill or set of stairs from the parking area - something to keep in mind if you’re someone who hauls your gear with a wagon or are mobility-limited Bathrooms were always clean + stocked with plenty of toilet paper. Review/photos are from mid-July 2025

Camped with the fam in a tent at site 15, which is on the east loop of the highway. We camped just after the 4th of July weekend. What I wish we had known before we left home: -The bathroom facilities are vault toilets only, no sink (or mirror) or running water of any kind (no dish-washing sink) - The camp host is also the firewood vendor ($10/bundle) - There were a LOT of mosquitoes - There were bear boxes at each site Pros: - The creek running just east of the highway provided excellent white noise - Our site was well situated with our bear box in the shade - The bathroom was cleaned daily and had plenty of toilet paper - Lots of adventurous hiking options nearby including Mt Bierstadt Cons: - The mosquitoes were rather heavy at times - The available water is a hand pump and the pump on the east loop is not in service. We ended up driving over to the west side when we wanted to fill our large containers. You'll need 1 person to pump and another to hold water bladders under the faucet - The well water has a yellow tinge and left debris in our containers Other things to note: -Some of the campsites are not set up for RV access -You may have to haul your stuff 30-50 feet (possibly uphill or downhill) from your parking space. -The campground charges $8/night for a second car, but I'm not even sure where they expect you to park an additional car

We stayed mid August, and it was a perfect campground! Beautiful streams that you can hear nearby. VERY clean bathrooms that smelled great. The camp host was super friendly, kind, and willing to give us tons of tips for our hiking adventures.

This was a lovely campground that was well maintained. It was perfect for my small trailer setup. I highly recommend a visit. The spot had a faint cell signal also.

Loved it out here. Very beautiful place.

Awesome campground. Saw big horn sheep on the way up. Fresh crisp air at that elevation. Spacious and spread out sites make you feel like you have a piece of the woods all to yourself. Site #12 was along a creek. We put up hammocks on the other side. Lots of space for kiddos to explore. Used this campground as a base camp to ride the Georgetown Railroad. Had some ice cream while in town and got some crowlers to go from the local brewery.

Absolutely amazing campsite. Gorgeous creeks, lots of creek access. Best camp host I've ever met ever, hollah David! Upper sites are noticeably warmer and drier. Sites 10 and 11 can flood but I stayed at 11 and it rained a ton and I managed. Cleanest vault toilets I've ever experienced. Can't wait to go back!

Extremely beautiful campground. I spent a week out here with my freinds and it was wonderful. The camp host was very nice and provided a lot. Georgetown is still close by with anything else you could need including good food and a friendly atmosphere.
