*closed for the 2022 season* but this is the best campground! the views from here are incredible and the lake is the perfect size. we have great luck finding a spot when arriving thursday afternoon's. the only downside is there's no cell service within about a 15 min drive

If you want peace and quiet, this is not the place for you. A man from Texas ran his generator 24/7. We paid for three nights and left after two. There is also a bunch of construction near the lake so get ready for the beep, beep, beep of front loaders backing up.

Fun place for the kids. Paddle boarding, fishing. Small lake. No waves. Get there early though as the parking fills up. 20 minutes from Crested Butte.
