Left an easy up and chair. Someone stole it and removed our tag. Someone else was in the site when we got back so we also lost a night of camping fees. Beware. If you were in the campground and saw someone on June 12 please reply.
Great camping spot with a nice downed tree area just past Campsite 6 (back toward Georgetown). Buzzing is definitely mildly annoying, but once you get a crackling fire and warmth going, you're "dope" and should be "chill", ya heard? Fee is $23 per night (as of 5/28/23) in exact change and you'll find the envelopes at the entrance. Dumpsters for your trash, toilets, private areas, beautiful views, and nearby hikes. Okay toilets. Metal in the men's shifts on you as you're taking your McDookie, but otherwise no mosquitos and toilet paper is restocked on the regular, ya heard 👌✌️🤞🫰🤞🤟🫰🤞👈👆🤜🤘☝️🤟✋️✋️🫴✋️🤞👋💨💦💦 ahem... But also, stop peeing all the over the floor, BRO. Foreal??? Cars are also decently frequent, but again, crackling fire and good company drown out most noises. Secret hint if you
Beautiful little campground. It’s small with only 8 spots and it’s first come, first serve so you’ll have to get there early to get a spot.
Perfect secluded spot up in the Mountains. There are only 10 spots, first come first served, picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets and a water spigot. Simple spot, but that's the type of camping I enjoy. The drive up is nice with the chance of seeing big horned sheep (we didn't see any unfortunately). Take the drive up to the summit for another amazing view or use the trails to go for a hike. Theres a creek that runs along the road which offers some nice pull off spots to get out for pictures. Camp caretaker said he spotted a moose the day before in a clearing up from the campsite, but we missed out on a sighting ourselves. Overall, I loved this spot and would definitely return for some simple, in some awesome nature camping!
Fun little campground near Denver! It is within a quarter mile of a hydro station so you can hear the buzz of the electricity the whole time. The road is decently busy too. The campsites are all pretty private and spread out which is nice though!
