Beautiful campground outside of Lake City, Colorado on the Alpine Loop. Clean restrooms, water on site and dark skies. Moose, bear, elk and deer frequent this location. Just gorgeous.

Great campground. Beautiful drive to get to it. Some pull throughs and some back ins. The usual mosquitoes. I thoroughly enjoyed my bug zapper paddle. Park host was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this campground and we will be back. Btw, there are no hook ups but there is water by the bathrooms (clean drop toilets]. And there is cell service!

Stayed here in a tent for 2 weeks and had a great time. The camp host is a great guy and very pleasant to deal with. Sites were kept cleaned as well as the restrooms

Nice little campground. Bathrooms were usually kept up and clean. We stayed in a tent. Good spaces for tents. Had a nearby stream for background noise while sleeping. Peaceful. Flies and ants were thick but it was June.

Our stay of three days were so relaxing. The sites were shaded and the vault toilets were actually very, very clean. I can't speak highly enough about the camp hosts, Ray and Donna. They do an excellent job maintaining the grounds and were so very friendly. During our stay we saw a doe and her fawn as well as a Moose in the site next to us.
