Very cozy and tranquil campground hidden in a gorge far below the road! The lower sites by the river are nicely spaced a roomy with lots of large evergreen trees and shade! The campground hosts were very friendly and welcoming to guests! Looking forward to staying at this campground again on a future visit to the area!

A very nice campground, well set up, close to the river. Very clean campsites. All in all, a gem, but what made it memorable was meeting Mike, the camp host. When I first pulled in, I didn't see any open sites by the river and when I pulled up the hill, I met Mike. He explained there were no open sites left, but after chatting for awhile, he told me he was going to let me have one that had been previously reserved, but the folks had left a day early and since I was only there for one night, he would let me have the spot and on top of that, not charge me for the site, since the folks that left had already paid for it and wanted it to go to someone who could use it. Mike, I really appreciate your kind gesture and your friendly attitude. We need more folks like you!

Beautiful campground. Upper loop has blue skies and ponderosa pines. Many have views of the lake (with out the chance of mosquitos). The lower loop reminds me of a redwood forest- towering blue spruce. Like a fairy tail location. Bathrooms were super clean- camp hosts were friendly and helpful.

This place was the perfect layover for me traveling from Great Sand Dunes to Mesa Verde. First come first serve, find an open campsite, then register and drop money in the mailbox thing. Beautiful site, a bunch of families having a good time but wasn’t noisy by any means. The river is incredible and there were hardly any bugs which blew my mind. 10/10 would recommend

This is a dry camp site with large trailer or RV access. The access road is an easy well maintained dirt road. The river is accessible to many spots but there are some spots that are on the opposite side. There are plenty of tall trees providing shade and keeping the area cool from the hot sun. The sites were pristine and the restrooms were clean and plenty of toilet paper. There is a lot of privacy and the sites are spaced far apart. We will be back!
