Great location in walking distance to town and attractions. Very helpful and friendly staff and owner. They gave us directions to some beautiful places to visit. We extended our stay because we wanted to see more of the trails with fall colors.

River Fork is a great camping spot. I read reviews of hookups being misplaced, but we did not have that problem at all. Hosts guided us into our spot and everything went smoothly. The spaces are not huge but there is plenty of room to sit outside of your camper. The location is great. A short walk over a pretty foot bridge and you are at an awesome park that is huge. Our dog loved that. The river runs along the park and there is a beautiful river walk which runs through town. Walking distance to all of Lake City. We had a great experience here.

Do not recommend this campground. Come here if you are retired and go to bed around 7. We were told multiple nights to quiet down at only 8pm. There is no clear quiet time posted anywhere. We were also told our ATV’s were too loud which is strange because the whole town is based around the ATV trails (Alpine Loop). Sites are tight and sewage and water was far from hookups. DO NOT come if you have an RV that is longer than 40ft. The hosts were not nice from the start and honestly had no care for us to be there.

$20 thru hiker special is the best value I’ve ever got for my money. They gave me a place to pitch my tent, loaner clothes to wear while I washed mine and an excellent shower. Hiker box plus jigsaw puzzles and books if you’re bored.

I camped in my tent here during a thru-hike of the Colorado Trail. The amenities were exactly what I needed as a hiker/backpacker and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The price was very reasonable.

We tent camped here, it exceeded our expectations! Super friendly staff, free laundry, bathrooms, showers, everything we needed before and after hiking. We will be back!

Extremely friendly owner. $20 for hikers to pitch their tents, do their laundry, and shower. This includes soap, shampoo, a washrag, and a towel. Great location within easy walking distance to restaurants and stores. This is the place to stay for CT hikers.

if you're looking to camp here you've made a great choice. the sites are large, everyone is friendly and you can easily walk to two. Plenty of room for your ATV also. Joe was friendly and helped us with any question we had.

Best hosts ever, treat you as a family. Not fancy but you have everything you need: bathrooms with showers, laundry room, charging space for all devices, covered tables area to sit down and read a book or play a game or chat with people, dishes washing sinks. Beautiful river near by and walking distance to Lake City Town to get some souvenirs, the best ice cream or coffee in the whole colorado or a dinner. Love this place. Will definitely come back.

We have stayed at MANY campgrounds and had MANY good experiences. However, we have never been anywhere like this. We were literally treated like family. The hosts went above and beyond from the very beginning, and we soon noticed they treated everyone this way. They even fed us fresh fish for supper! The bathrooms were very clean. They even have towels, laundry room, book exchange, and a covered common area with picnic tables to keep you dry. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and the people.

Best little hideaway spot in Lake City for a little chill time by converging creeks. Small beach area with chairs makes it perfect.
