Gore Creek Campground

The camp host at Gore Creek Campground was terrific friendly, helpful, attentive and The bathrooms were so clean there was paper. There was a garbage can that had been tented and there was plenty of hand sanitizer very clean very appreciated. This guy is terrific. This particular site was off the chart so beautiful It’s The fall season and the Aspen are breathtaking. The reviews say that it wasn’t appreciated because bears were not in the vicinity, but darn it we didn’t see one.

What a GREAT campground!! Very clean, lots of heathy trees and fairly large campsites. Gore Creek is heard throughout the campground, and there are several hikes you can begin from the campground.||I am not a fan of Vail, and for the most Vail makes it VERY difficult to hike near town. There are no parking spaces at or near any of the local hike trailheads, or even near any of the Bus Stops where you would need to catch a bus into town to catch another bus up to the trailheads. Everything I saw was ONLY convenient for condo and resort dwellers and guests.||Gore Creek campground is an amazing little gem hidden away near Vail (unfortunately).||

Great location. The campsites are spacious and feel private. Great bear boxes. The pit toilets might be some of the cleanest I've ever seen. The staff is also very friendly. Site 11 is close to the river which is nice but the site itself isn't very level and it was hard to find a spot for our tent. They best place was a spot which was under some trees but the was close to some restrooms. The table kept rocking as well because it couldn't be leveled. Depending on the wind you can expect to smell the pit toilets. I really liked the campground and would definitely come back but I'd probably look for another campsite.

Gorgeous campground 10 minutes from Vail. Enjoy the sound of the creek (and a little highway noise) at one of their fairly secluded sites. Pictured, is site 23. Note that sites 20-25 do require a short hike in. Level tent area, picnic table, fire pit, and bear proof box provided at each. Bathrooms located in the parking lot - seriously, the cleanest camping bathrooms I've ever had! Simple booking through the recreation.gov app!

Gore Creek worked well for us for two nights on our way through. We have an F350 and an 18' trailer and most sites were fine. The sites by the creek are beautiful, although if you have very small children you'll need to watch them as the water moves fast and the snowmelt continues into the summer. Shaun T(?) the caretaker was great. We did have a black bear in camp, who snuck up to within 20' of our 5 year old son before our dog alerted us to his presence.
