The best part is that there are always last minute, available spaces without reservations (even on weekends) because it's one giant, parking lot with lots and lots of RV and tent spaces available. Like most for service camp sites, there are no hookups, no RV dumps, no showers... But it has 4 clean, pit toilets (bathrooms, no running water).

Such a lovely place, because of the Memorial Day holiday, most campsites were booked, but I was lucky to find a one-night spot at Pine Cove Campground for $29. I only had $27 in cash, and the host kindly accepted it—he even declined the extra $2 in quarters I offered.

Wonderful stay at the campground. Our host Greg has been there many years and it's always nice to see him when we come back. He's a really good help while you're there. The bike trails are convenient and the lake is fun.

I love this campground! Probably stayed here at least 30 to 40 weeks over the years. Greg, the host is absolutely wonderful! Conveniently located and super clean! My favorite in the entire state of Colorado!

Great spot for overnight RVing. Beautiful views. It is on a First Come basis. Find an open spot, and it's yours. No hookups, just an RV or camping slot to park. State Parks run, so it's inexpensive. Bring cash or your checkbook to pay the State Park fee.
