We stayed here for a couple of days just to visit family nearby. It served its purpose, but we had a rough start when our first electric-only site had faulty wiring. Thankfully, my surge protector caught it, and they moved us to a full-hookup site for free. The service wasn't friendly, but it wasn't terrible either, just very transactional. It's a remarkably quiet park during the day and at night. Not amazing, but not bad if you just need a quiet place to stay.

This campground is small but very well maintained. The bathroom/showers were very clean and comfortable. The laundry trailer was clean and had a couch, chair and a table and chairs so you can wait comfortably. Nice place. I was not aware the water is off to sites if the temp is below zero. That being said, I would stay here again.

We love staying here! Great location - steps away from groceries and 30ish minutes to Breckenridge. The owners are kind and have offered us a late check out for a reasonable price. Bathrooms are always clean and warm. Pet friendly with a few trails to walk and multiple potty pick up stations. We’ve camped here in the winter for skiing and in the summer for hiking. 10/10

Really nice little resort with the river on both sides! We only stayed 2 nights as that is all the time we could take off of work. We had spot 6 and it was HUGE! Like where you could literally fit about 2 trailers and 2 vehicles or 3. So much room! It was nice that many places were within walking distance if needed. We styed here as it was close to many of the trails we wanted to take my jeep out on! There aren't really many amenities, but it was full hook ups which was a huge plus with us and a great price! Also along the river where I believe they state it is a dog path....there are 3-4 spots with chairs set up.
