This camp site is pretty. They have 2 public bathrooms, definitely make sure to bring toilet paper though. We saw a lot of hawks, eagles, finches and Bluejays. There is also an amazing fishing lake up the road that just got stocked. A friend of mine caught a 35-40 pound trout.

It used to be a nicer place to stay. I noticed more garbage and human waste out on the trails and around the campground. People that camp are not packing in and out. Pick up your garbage before you leave that's not the camp hosts job!! Oh and shooting guns off at 2 in the morning and running your generators all night isn't very courteous to others.

Beautiful and quiet campground! The campground was full during the weekend when I arrived, but found a spot Sunday afternoon no problem. A portion of the Colorado Trail is easily accessible.

Beautiful, especially along the river. Pretty buggy, but that was our only complaint.
