Took my 35 foot Tiffin.

Don’t go in without exploring the campground first. I saw nothing longer than 26 feet long. The camp host was great getting me the perfect spot. Absolutely beautiful campground.

Great spot

Caught it on day 1 of opening for the season (June 10, 2022). All first come sites for a bit. At just shy of 10,000 ft, air can be abit thin. A few patches of snow nearby.

Great camp sites. Mostly singles. But some doubles, triples as well. Close to Trumble lake, but also walking distance to Little Virginia, Virginia, Blue, and Red Lakes.

Didn't do any fishing, but lots of others were. Great little lodge/restaurant nearby at Little Virginia Lake.

Family friendly beautiful campground

Amazing weather and scenery near 3 small lakes full of trout. We left our kayak on Trumbull lake unattended for a week. We felt very safe.

The restrooms are vault, and cleaned twice daily!

Caution, the "drinking" water was yellowish/brown. Probably sourced from the lake nearby. We used it to wash hands and pots only.

Watch for erroneous data on Recreation.gov website. All sites could park 2 vehicles, not 1. And, quite a few sites could accommodate RVs, but the website doesn't indicate that.
