Pawnee Campground

It’s our fourth time here and we love it. It’s the most clean campground we have been. The spots are so spacious and in level. So many great trails nearby. The only thing you have to prepay for parking spot if you want to park at trailhead ($18). And no internet and cell phone service.

Very nice and quiet place. Beautiful lakes, where you can walk. My favorite lake is the Blue Lake. Try to get there in August, when not all the ice on it has melted. Floating aisbergs and blue water are great. And the camp itself is very good. Warm days and cold nights, give pleasure near the fire in the summer months. Around you can see beautiful flowers, deer, moose and beautiful birds.

I have been camping, fishing up here since I was a child. I remember camping one year 9 months pregnant. Best place to go when it is so hot in Denver like today. It has been years since I have been to Brainard Lake. I am going again. Retired now. Going fishing again,

We love this Campground! We had a wonderful time at site 12! It's super big for four families! We have enough room to play games! It's very clean! No matter bathroom or campsite. There is enough private space to other neighbors.! But if you want to go hiking, your campsite reservation doesn't work. You have to walk to the trail site or take a hiking reservation....

Pawnee CG is perfectly located in Brainard Lake Rec. Area for camping, hiking, fishing, exploring nature, and photo opportunities. Great for a "base-camp" with several lakes, and trailheads within walking distance. Campground is VERY WELL MAINTAINED by the campground hosts. The hosts I had contact with for the "walk-in" campsite I had were super friendly! Also very knowledgeable of the area. I couldn't recommend a better place for a parent to take children of all ages for a first camping experience.
