No water for a while until they fix the burst pipe. 9 mins drive to dump station & fresh water fill up at the bottom of hill. Small & quiet with great views. There are plenty of spaces between each site except sites 17, 18 & 19

The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 is that it would be perfect with water, sewer hook ups but everything else is perfect. The host, the scenery, clean restrooms & what a view

AVOID. Uneven camping spots, difficult sites to get in and out of, and despite the fact that you are literally on top of a reservoir, they make you do elsewhere to get water for your RV! It's nearly 20min r/t burning gas and towing a full trailer to get the ONE thing you need in order to successfully camp- water. I've never been to a campground in Colorado that pretty much exclusively caters to RVs that doesn't allow you to fill your tank. Where is your campsite fee going to?? Not to replacing the ancient picnic tables! No shady spots either.

5⭐️ for friendliness and efficiency of the camp hosts! No bath house, but the vault toilet house was perfectly clean/and no bad smells! In the one day we visited the bathrooms were cleaned 3 times!! The views were beautiful and lots of different wildflowers throughout. One suggestion: hand sanitizers at the bathrooms! Sites 8 & 9 were very close but since we were together that was okay.

Hidden gem! 360 degree Rocky Mountain views in White River Nat’l Forest with overlook on the Dillon Reservoir. This is a nature focused, no-frills campground, but really has all you need, especially if you love the outdoors & glorious views! Spacious, gravel sites are full-sun with electric hook-up. *Limited water spigot access/use. Equipped with picnic table, fire pit, grill, & bear locker. Public restrooms. Super nice host! Dump station & fill is only a few miles away in town. Still scratching my head as to why this campground wasn’t full in CO in June.
