This campground is clean, convenient, and was as expected. The day use area is also a little retreat from the busy city of Aspen. Nothing noteworthy and the hosts seemed to manage everything well. Price is steep but it is 10 min from Aspen.

The sites are narrow but not difficult to access. The road is smooth. Hosts are friendly and helpful. No electricity. No water at the site.

We enjoyed an incredible stay at Difficult Campground in August. The sites were amazing, facilities were well kept, and the camp hosts were so kind and helpful. Rebecca in particular went out of her way to make sure we were set up for our visit, and had a lot of great information to share. We will definitely be back!

Great campground close to Aspen and Independence Pass. Wonderful camp hosts, Rebecca and Lauren were a great help, and if we needed anything, they were always around and very friendly and professional. More camp hosts should be like them, they are the best we've come across. We will definitely be back.

Great campground located about 4 miles from Aspen, surrounded by forests and mountains. Most sites have nice privacy and shade. Amenities include pit toilets, trash and water. Arrived back to camp at night one night and saw a moose right outside the campground. Beautiful spot, very peaceful, would recommend.

Convenient location near Aspen. Good tent sites. Easy to find. Motorcycle friendly parking. For the price though, no showers and water tap out of order kind of sucked.

We enjoyed our stay here! The drop toilets were well maintained. It was funny: they didn’t smell in the actual bathroom, but walking up they did. The camp sites were very private, the river running through made for a pleasant experience. The sites were a bit small for our larger group, even though we had 2 sites for 9 people. No service at the sites which was nice. Good size bear boxes. Camp hosts were very nice. Be sure to bring cash if you need to buy wood there! Conveniently located close to Aspen, but there weren’t any hikes we did straight from the campground. Bigger sites with more flat area to put up tents would’ve made us give it 5 stars for a campground. We would not have been able to fit 10 people per site (as the reservation said)

Beautiful campground covered in aspen trees. Host was helpful and friendly. We did encounter a moose during our camp trip but overall really enjoyed our stay

Amazing and beautiful zone! Pretty spectacular and a plethora of outdoor activities. Campground is clean and quiet, and all you could want. With one exception, a real bad bear. I am well seasoned camper and used to bears being around. I have seen many dozen bears over the years, and they want nothing to do with people. But over a few decades, I have had a couple of bears that are rogue. Not afraid and able to get human food non- stop. I hate it for this animal as its fate is short. Having a fed bear repeating its presence and being successful at acquiring human food is a mistake on NFS management. Please help and make this area a 5 star campground again.

Quiet spot outside of Aspen. Easy check-in when we arrived at our spot. The bathrooms were the cleanest vault toilets I've ever seen! Cleaned twice a day. Great spot for our overnight car camp.

Good facilities but noise from highway ruined that peaceful to setting. Google maps makes it seem further away

Love this campground. Absolutely beautiful and very very quiet. Wildlife abound! Bear, moose, sheep. No showers though, thus -1 star. Highly recommended all.
