Just got back from our 2 night stay here. My 1st time here and it was great. We decided to go last minute... on 4th of July weekend... and got lucky there was a cancelation. Our camp host; preach, was amazing. So kind, funny, super helpful and just an overall great guy/host. He definetly made our stay more enjoyable. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Hope to go again!

Beautiful campground with a stream running through it. Site #1 is my favorite, it is close to the water. Only draw back is sites are fairly close together. Sites 1-9 reservation only at recreation.gov, 10-17 first come basis. 10-14 are tent only, 15 & 16 tent or RV and 17 tent or RV double site/double fee. Clean toilets and friendly, helpful hosts. I hope they return next year!! This campground stays full on weekends and most week days. Close to Rocky Mountain NP and Estes for great hiking and site seeing.

Very disappointed with our stay. My family and I took a cross country road trip and booked this place in advance. The first night was fine but the second day after a long day of hiking and exploring we went back to our camp site and another camper had parked their RV in the spot next to us and their Car in our reserved parking space. When talking with the RV owners they did not want to move because they were told they could park there. The staff at the campsite then told us we had to move to another campground site even though we had this specific spot reserved. We had proof of our reservation as well and they didn’t care. The employee told us that we should have left chairs and a tablecloth out on the table to inform others that the spot had been taken. He then went over to speak to the RV campers and they reiterated that they were told they could use the 2 parking spots and the entire area for camping. He then said that he would try and find us a spot somewhere else and asked us to follow him while he checked the reservations of the other camping spots. We eventually found one and were very disappointed in the way we were treated at the campsite. We had booked months in advance and just needed a safe place to stay for the night. We felt the RV campers were rude but the way the camp employee handled everything was very unprofessional. He even apologized for being new to the campground and not understanding everything. A great stay the first night turned into a miserable unforgettable night the next. We do not recommend you stay here. Even with a paid reservation they told us we had to go find another campground somewhere else in the area and we didn’t have any service in the mountains! We hope the campsite can abide by the policies and rules they make so future campers do not run into the same mess that we encountered.

What a Beautiful campsite it was! It has a wonderful host, clean bathrooms, wild raspberries (if you visit during the right season of course), fun river spots, hiking trails, and Moose! All made for a fun and enjoyable trip.

Ronnie the campsite host was do knowledgeable and kind. The campground was peaceful and immaculate. Spotless restrooms. We stayed on campsite #1 right by the river, it was like sleeping with a sound machine. Tip: don't forget the bug spray.

Clean well organized campground. Convenient bathrooms and trash dumpsters to all campsites. Hiking trails close to campsites. Good challenging hikes or short ones. Beautiful scenery in all directions.

Pros: well-maintained toilets, flat tent pads free of rocks and other debris, bear lockers, stream, hiking trails, quiet Cons: lots of thru traffic to the off-roaring trails nearby and subsequent engine noise when caravans of jeeps reach the trails My boyfriend and I had a lovely time camping at this pet-friendly campground! Not too crowded in October, and many of the sites are adjacent to a babbling brook, which was very peaceful when lounging in our hammock and, later, helped lull us to sleep. There are several shady trails nearby, and we took a peaceful stroll among the tall trees. We even spotted a rather majestic moose sauntering through the grounds, which we admired at a safe distance. Would 100% recommend!

This place is pretty nice. The fee is only $21. There is a creek running along several ot the sites. No showers are available. Vault toilets are generally clean. It was full most of the week. Walk in sites are available. Sites 10 through 14 are in a shared parking spot. They are meant for tent only camping. 14 is the only one that is not lumped pretty close. They allow hanging of hammocks. Which is nice for napping or reading a book during the afternoon. You can hear the creek while camping because it is right behind the sites. All of the sites for tents have a bear safe box. While we were there the pump for water was producing a very odd color well water. Similar to sun tea in color actually. The camp host has wood for $6. The host was very nice when we did encounter him. My son had cut himself and the host gave us some bandages. You will have to drive 30 minutes or so to get any supplies you may have forgotten. We had a moose and many deer come right through our site while there. Just before the bridge where you enter you can find a trail that is fairly even and not rough. My small son and I were able to easily navigate it while wearing sandals. The entire time were stayed our cellphones had 4g service. If you go down farther to camp Dick you will get no or very poor cell coverage.
