What an amazing little Gem this campground is!!! Family owned run by John and his family who inherited it from his father…! That’s what this place just exemplifies as the fact that people have been coming back to this campground for generations and generations and I totally understand why it is just not only beautiful and relaxing, a cute little store!!! And helpful employees, Stephanie was great... What an amazing little Gem this campground is!!! Family owned run by John and his family who inherited it from his father…!

And helpful employees, Stephanie was great to work with!!! But you’re so close to the lake hiking to waterfalls horseback riding a whole plethora of things to do, or sit back and enjoy the comfort and serenity of being in the mountains of Colorado!!!! I look forward to future visits along with many of the other return visitors! Michelle

Got the littlest cabin with no water or bathrooms and it was perfect for the price and what we needed. We used it as a bit of a "home base" for a 9 day trip and took a few 1-2 day backpacking trips into the woods. Was great to have a safe space to store our gear and have a warm place out of the rain for the rougher nights.

I didn’t stay at Sportsman Camp, but rather was in dire need of assistance as my tire went flat. Stephanie was incredible- she helped me out in a massive bind and I was able to get back on the road. Cannot say enough about her. The store was quite nice too, had everything I could think of.

I stayed 2 nights at the end of June and would have stayed longer if it was available. The campground was beautiful and the facilities were awesome. Impressive amenities, especially for it's remote location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The office/store manager went out of her way to make the stay memorable. Very impressive! I will be back.
