Great spring getaway!

This was a great place to camp in spring due to the wildflowers. It’s also great since other campgrounds aren’t open yet or still covered in snow. The aspens had not yet bloomed but were definitely budding. There are no tables in the campsites and there was no host when we were there. This site says max RV length of 32 ft and ours is 34ft and many of the sites are pull through. We will want to visit again when the trees are full and in the fall to see the colors.
