This was our first time camping since moving to Colorado. We found this spot while out exploring Breckenridge earlier this summer. Spots are first come, first serve tent spaces so the earlier you get there, the better. We arrived at 8:30am and found a spot but the rest filled up shortly after. Most of the spots have excellent views of the lake. Be sure to check Summit County's website before heading out there regarding their fire restrictions. There were a good bit of mosquitos so definitely pack bug spray. Pack out what you pack in...and then some to help keep the area clean (unfortunately lots of previous campers/hikers seem to forget clothes, pillows, food trash, dog toys, cigarette butts and other crap). There are no trash cans, running water, facilities, or phone service. Bear cannisters are not required for this area but the local ranger station highly recommends keeping all food packed away in your vehicle or hanging from a tree. The ranger I spoke to did also warn that the land has mixed ownership with the Forest Service and Colorado Springs Water and Summit County and that camping should only be happening on FS land. Lots of good little hikes nearby to do. The Quandary Peak trailhead is also nearby if you want to tackle a 14er. Unfortunately the only wildlife we saw were birds but last time we were out there we saw pikas and marmots. This will probably be our go to spot from now on just because of how nice the views are. Oh and the road up can get pretty steep and sketchy so go slow, watch out for the giant potholes, and be sure to make space for other cars, especially if you decide to continuing driving up to the dam (past the first parking lot area). That section of the road gets very narrow. We drove a Kia Soul (FWD) and were fine but I had a coworker damage the front end of her low car on potholes out there.
