Choose your site wisely

As another reviewer said, the location of this campground is great. It's an easy drive to Buena Vista and close to most river rafting companies if you're rafting down the Arkansas. I was in the area to do some hiking and I had my choice of trails within a half hour drive.
I can't say enough about the kind and accommodating camp hosts. They were friendly, professional and answered all of my questions about the campground. The bathrooms were clean and the shower rooms were updated, clean and spacious.
I tent camped for 3 nights, staying in 2 different tent spots during my time, and my review varies greatly for each of those spots. First night I was in spot A right next to the creek and it was lovely. The sound of the creek was soothing and it was peaceful since only tents were near by. Unfortunately, the wifi and cell reception (TMobile) were nearly non-existent from here.
The other nights I was in spot I and it was anything but relaxing. That spot sits at the bottom of the hill right below 285 and the traffic noise was significant all day long, especially on the weekends. The campers one site over ended up leaving during their stay because of this noise. It might be fine if these were RV spots since you could be inside and have the traffic noise muffled but it doesn't work for tents. And at the back of the site is an irrigation line/ditch so mosquitos were a constant. The one plus to this spot is that wifi coverage was much better (presumably because I was closer to the office?). I'd stay here again if I could get a site along the creek but otherwise I'd try someplace new.
