Lake Alice Campground

Lake Alice was a pond. However the next lake Maloya was a nice place to fish. If you can walk a half mile slightly uphill Lake Dorthy just North of there is magnificent. Lots of trout and incredible scenery. Take your camera and watch for wildlife. Lake Dorthy is in Colorado but only accessible thru New Mexico.

Staff and rangers were so wonderful, they went above and beyond to ensure we were safe and our little ones had an amazing time. Beautiful camping spots both on and off grid. Well maintained trails that are breathtaking! Would highly recommend for family fun and solo quiet!

Loved this campground. We had #4 which was perfect for our 32 ft. 5th wheel. Beautiful area. Pictures are taken at our site. The 5 stars were for the beauty and friendliness of the camp host. Don't expect a lot of amenities except for electricity, basic bath rooms and a rather simple dump site right in the middle of the camp. Lots to do and see around here. If you love to hike this is your place.

We were visiting from CO for Memorial Day weekend since everything in CO was booked up. We stayed at site 12, the pictures on the website don’t do the site justice. It was a really really weird site basically in the middle of a road, electrical and water on one side and the table, fire pit, bear box, and grill on the other side. The pit toilet is right next to it, which isn’t the best because everyone is passing through our site to go to the bathroom, which they didn’t need to do because they could have walked a few extra feet to go around our site. We also had several people drive through our site when they weren’t supposed to. It made us very uncomfortable. The pit toilet is the most clean ive ever seen, not smelly at all nor a lot of bugs, thankfully. There was a state wide fire ban which sucked, especially since it was pouring the last 2 days so there was no need for it in our area, we were really looking forward to having a fire. It was not the best time though, I think if we had a different site, the weather was good, and we could have had a fire… it would have been much better but all the sites are very close together, not much privacy at all. We booked from Friday to Monday, we ended up leaving Sunday morning due to the nasty weather Friday and Saturday we decided we had enough. We were able to get in a decent hike by the welcome center, they have a few trails there, we did the coal camp trails, it was very informative and beautiful views. Cool to learn and see how they lived over 100 years ago when it was a coal camp. They have regular bathrooms/showers near the welcome center, but they close them at 7pm, wish they left them open longer or 24 hours. The people who work in the welcome center are very friendly and we left with a lot of knowledge of the area. But all in all, we wouldn’t stay here again.

Really nice camp ground and the camp host Dorie is so kind and helpful. Wildlife in abundance and fishing or hiking is a must. Really enjoyed our stay until a tent dweller ask us to turn off our bug zapper at 8 pm cause it was too loud. Well… that means it is doing its job. Loved the location. Thanks Dorie
