Customer Reviews
A great spot for a short trip. It is right off the highway, so there's a bunch of noise, but it could be worse. Trees do a lot to mitigate. The streams that run near by are plenty soothing, too. The vault toilets are clean and maintained.
I stayed here with a few friends a year ago. This was a fun campground. Some of the sites were nice and private with a few different options for tent location. It is small and tight for parking. Not good for trailers, RVs or Roof Tents. They want you to pay for each extra car parked there and have a limit of cars. Not a really good basecamp for a lot of out of town friends. You should meet up somewhere else and carpool. There are good fire pits. There is no running water only outhouse style toilet. No firewood on property. There is some road noise from the highway.
The location of this campground is both a positive positive and negative. It is right beside the highway taking you into Winter Park and over the pass. Because of that,aa you always hear road noise on the other hand it’s a great campground because there are streams running through it, tall, tall trees, path up into the mountain behind the campground. It’s very beautiful and green and not a dusty hot campground. We got the lovely spot at the end of the campground with a little bridge over the stream. The spot is huge and really fun with kids and animals. It did rain all night blocked out the road noise. The sound of the vehicles could drive a person, crazy, especially the big trucks and their air brakes. They were also lots of helicopters overhead. strange.
This is a nice little camp ground right along side the highway. But that is the one drawback, it is right along side the highway. With that being the only issue it is still a nice place to camp. Some may see the car and truck noise as a deal breaker but for everything else I felt it was worth it. The area has 11 campsites. Some are going to be tent only but others I could get my truck camper in and a few (I think 2) you could back a small trailer into. The sites are very nice with picnic tables, and fire pits. The one I started at even had 2 huge logs around the fire pit to sit on. A small river also runs along the road and that is nice but it is to close to the road to sit and enjoy the sound. We stayed 4 night and the last 2 we moved to a spot that had the stream running right next to it
Quiet, and peaceful when other camp spots were jam packed.
