Beautiful, spacious, well-maintained. Great camping spots, although not many dispersed options, and a friendly campground host. The views in the morning and the sky at night were spectacular.

First come, first served. $34/night cash or check. Check out at noon. Really well kept sights. Not crowded at all. Fire pit with grill and picnic table at each sight. Vault toilet. Potable water. A really nice creek running right by camp. Only giving 4 stars bc it’s a little pricey.

My husband and I really loved camping here! Ouray was full, so we drove a bit further and found this camp. The camp hosts are friendly and the vault toilets are super clean. We stayed in site 1 and it was spacious surrounded by lodgepole pine. Many sites are near the creek. South Mineral is on the $$ as far as camping goes - $34 7/22.

An absolute treasure, the waterfalls tucked away here make you feel like you have discovered another world that is untouched. There is very little foot traffic and very simple trails to these amazing locations. UPDATE - I have since revisited after it reopened in September of 2021 (from the Ice Lake fire in 2020) and this area is nearly the same, with the exception of the falls to the north of the road now completely destroyed.
