Favorite paid place to camp in the flat tops area

Camped here for the first time. Been fishing there for over 20 years, but haven't been there for 9 years. Paul and Diane ( the host) do a great job taking care of the campsites. We stayed for 4 days. One of my favorite places to go to in Colorado. First come first serve.

Best thing about the place? No atvs in the area. Beautiful views. Nice campsites. Lots of hiking and boating also no motorized on lakes. Saw lots of wildlife. Fox bull moose muskrats white tail and birds. Someone saw a wolf. Hosts are great. Toilets cleaned. BTW do not reserve a site for friends. Not allowed. Makes sense in all first come first serve.

The water was wet, the trees were tall, the mosquitoes were flying, I felt very small.
