Great place to get away & enjoy the fresh air. Took a couple of hikes in the area. Both campgrounds were clean. I didn’t use any of the latrines (used my RVs facilities). Stayed in site #1 which was a pull-thru site. Road up to CH was in good shape. I would also say ~30’ RV would be max size. Sites are not that big to accommodate bigger RVs. Host (Scott(?)) was very friendly & helpful answering qu... Great place to get away & enjoy the fresh air. Took a couple of hikes in the area. Both campgrounds were clean. I didn’t use any of the latrines (used my RVs facilities). Stayed in site #1 which was a pull-thru site. Road up to CH was in good shape. I would also say ~30’ RV would be max size. Sites are not that big to accommodate bigger RVs. Host (Scott(?)) was very friendly & helpful answering questions. Arthur (USFS) was also helpful answering questions & actually spoke to along one of my hikes. Thanks to both these guys for making stay that much better!! Something I would remind those going camping here & reason for 4-star rating, the wind here can be harsh. If you look around, you will see the effects it has had on the landscape. One night I was there, the wind blew most of the night. It even shook my trailer enough to wake me up. So, be aware & probably want something better than your average Walmart tent.

Beautiful camp ground, sites are spread out. There is a little creek running thru the campground. The lake is a very close walk from the campsites. Restrooms, dumpsters, and bear boxes for food are provided. So many trout! Great fishing spot.

Finally reopened after a SEVERE blow down 3 years ago. Be prepared for a lot different place now than what was previously here, yet still lovely and beautiful. There is a lot of timber still being moved out from the reclaim and mitigation process. Some people will not be happy with how it looks now but it's the best way to handle what was left after the storm, and the fastest way to return it to p...

Cold windy day at Bear Lake outside Cuchara, CO. Elevation is around 10,400 and the road to Blue and Bear lake is well maintained. We caught a couple of fish and released them. Camp sites are primitive with vault toilets. It was a great day to visit the area after leaving Santa Fe Trails Ranch, Trinidad, CO this morning.
