Customer Reviews
Best day of trout fishing of my life 7-13-25. Dearhamer has direct access to the frying pan river inlet of Reudi reservoir, excellent for fishing. Great camp host, clean vault toilets and sites.
Great, small camp site that's quiet with excellent access to the reservoir and a creek nearby. The center sites are a bit exposed but if you have shade they are fine. The river and reservoir were so high! Made for some awesome paddle boarding from the bridge by the campsite all the way out as far as the wind would let us. It can definitely be windy throughout the day. Morning or evening paddling is ideal and bring an anchor. Julia was our host and she was great. Kept wood on hand and the most immaculate vault toilets I've ever seen.
Nice Campground group, so quit that almost felt bad for other when running my Generator, Sites 11, 12 & 13 are a bit exposed to Dust whenever vehicles drive by that dirt road, overall nice place. Walking distance to water, plenty of Shade. (Not for the middle sites) clean Restrooms and dumpsters for your trash.
Great campgrounds for those who like to camp with little amenities needed. It had a toilet (non flushing) and drinkable water spout. We were at campsite 5 which had only one site next to it and a view with direct access to the Frying Pan river that led into the lake where you can fish, swim and boat. Vicky was our camp host over the weekend and she was very welcoming and helpful. The town of Meredith was just further down the road and it had a general store for basic supplies. Lots of hiking trails close by and horseback riding. Peaceful and beautiful trip!
The campground was small but nice. The toilets were vault toilets but kept very clean. The only downside was the mosquitoes. They were brutal! Bring Bug spray that has been banned by the EPA, the Geneva Convention, and can only be found in 3rd world countries. Have a can of Off that you found in Grandpa's basement from the 1960s? This is your chance to use it.
