Another great spot

Honestly, beautiful day for camping. Got really windy at night. Definitely need a high clearance vehicle. I saw a low clearance vehicle at site 6 & no idea how they got there.. they had to have gotten scraped up. Going up past site 6 is a steep hill where 4x4 is highly recommended. We ended up turning around there but probably could have made it if I picked a good line. Campsites looked clean and maintained. Will be back to try getting past campsite 6 again :)

Nice spot

Good removed campsites. Once past site 6 I highly recommend suv or truck. Getting up to site 6 is possible in a sedan if you’re careful. I stopped at site 8 without too much trouble in my 06 Honda crv with AWD just need go take it slow and pick a good line. With your tires. Only complaint was we’re right over one of the departure routes of Denver international so you I’ll hear them on their initial climb out. If you like planes no issue and it is not super loud but it’s there. Got down to the 30’s overnight. No snow yet but in the forecast.

Great hidden gem an hour from the city

Great camping about 31 dispersed spots most with tables and a fire ring decent trout fishing a great kayaking feels remote without being so remote. Would recommend higher clearance and confident driving skills to get further towards the peninsula would not bring camper past site 10 gets a bit more sketchy driving. No Verizon service very spotty T-Mobile rangers are pretty chill.
