    Went here on a Saturday in Sept after reading all the great reviews.  Drove for miles and every site taken.  There aren't many sites like people would make you think.  Have these people been to the San Jaun Mountains - so much better.  Had to drive home because just nothing available.

    I’ve always thought Twin Lakes was the perfect middle ground to do a lot of different activities over a few days.

    The spots here were easy and felt like a regular campsite. Not too much coverage next to each site, but enough space where it doesn’t bother you.

    Nice sites and views

    I camped for 2 nights a few days apart in different sites. The first one was WG30 and it had an amazing view. I forgot to take note of the second one, but it was a little bit more down the road. Fire pits here which is nice. There’s a few spaces in the wide open and some nestled into some trees.

    Both nights that I stayed here there was a site that had a tent and table, but no one came back that night. Tuesday night and Friday night and nothing had changed. Kind of a bummer when someone snags a nice spot like that and isn’t there for multiple days.

You will see a short road on the left (south) the Y goes to 2 camp areas. The one on the left is higher with a bit better view. The area to the right has several spots to park vehicles and several tent camp sites, 5-6. Fantastic views of Twin Lakes and surrounded by aspen and pine. We had 1-2 bars of ATT.

    Hidden Gem

    We stayed here Thursday through Monday over Labor Day Weekend. It is in an absolutely beautiful spot and the campground is kept immaculately. It is right on the river so my husband was happy to be able to fish right behind our RV. We stayed in#33 which is on the end so we had more privacy and room. It was a concrete pad so easy to level and fire pits were great. They have everything you could think of-ninja lines, playset, zip line, hammocks, jenga, frisbee golf, etc. There were tons of kids that had a huge time. Mine loved it! There is a trail to hike up to a beautiful meadow. They have a general store/liquor store on site with a really good selection of items. We were able to make a short drive to Black Canyon National Park as well as some really nice local produce stops. The town of Hotchkiss is 15 mins away and has propane/restaurants/etc. Highly recommend staying here.

    Campsites Nestled in Scrub Oak

    This is a BLM site with five primitive camping sites available. However there is a bathroom. I didn't locate any potable water spigots. As of the time of this posting, it appears to be a newer campground. I would guess about 5 years old. It is right across a gravel road from the Prince Creek (class 3 trout stream) and surrounded by some great hiking and biking trails. I would say except for the large picnic area and site one, the campground is best set up for tents and camper vans. There is fairly decent privacy due to the thick scrub oak between each of the sites. sites 3, 4 & 5 are close to the gravel road.

    Not bad for what it is

    I couldn’t get into a campground closer to Aspen as I left, so when this appeared I took it.

    There are 11 sites and only three of us were there, so it didn’t feel crowded at all.

    All the sites are tucked in among the aspens on a hillside. Bear boxes & fire pits. There’s a hand water pump for water, and there I one privy with two pit toilets. No campground host.

    When I had earlier checked online for spots at nearby camping literally nothing was available. So I was happy to get this one.

    Would I stop here again? Absolutely. Would I make this a destination? Not really.
