l liked it better before the DNR put a campground and charging me to camp on property and on a lake that is kinda owned by the nearby town of Paradox. Sometimes I had to cleanup glass from some wreckless campers before me , but that was preferable to the restricted camping area now. The idea of camping is to break away from the structure of everything else.

Sometimes I had to cleanup glass from some wreckless campers before me , but that was preferable to the restricted camping area now. The idea of camping is to break away from the structure of everything else. I live in a neighboord where I have to sit ontop of other people, why would I want a campsite where I have to sit ontop of other people. This is not a large lake, but is large enough to spread people out over the area...Untell you made one area and pack people in it.

Great little spot! The campsites are well spaced apart and had plenty of space for a couple of tents per site. Very clean facilities. No running water at all at this campsite so be sure to bring your own drinking water. We enjoyed taking our kayaks and having a paddle on the lake. Very relaxing!

Hope you like cows! Yes, cows. They are all over the surrounding property and noisy as hell. Not exactly what I was expecting when camping. Otherwise it's a lovely campground. The road to get in and out is dirt and quite winding but the view from the top is amazing. Paradox has nothing as far as services go so you'll want to make sure you have everything with you or you'll be driving a couple hour... Hope you like cows! Yes, cows.

Nice CG, cheap rates, good sites and facilities but the FS access rd from Paradox Colo is very very steep!!...better have good brakes on way down...pulling a TT is doable but stressful due to steep roads. Miles of graded rocky gravel rd to get to CG. Lake is not very large or scenic as just a man-made impoundment. NO CELL SERVICE DEAD ZONE FOR VERIZON AND TMOBILE. Paradox Colo has no services that...

Paradox Colo has no services that I could tell so come fully fueled. Three stars due to crazy steep rd and no cell service.

Good place to get away. Lake is drained due to sink hole. Roads coming in are bumpy in places but passable by all. Built in 2010 so everything is in good condition. All spots have a table, fire pit, cooking stand and parking off the loop. Harder to access and distant but worth it if you want a little escape.
