Campsite J - 90

We stayed here in early June to avoid the chaos of RMNP and were not disappointed. The drive from Golden up into the park is beautiful and you truly feel like you are leaving the noise of Denver and the metro behind. There is no cell service anywhere in the park (for my Verizon phone anyway) which I actually enjoyed. The park is very quiet, has many beautiful trails (they arent necessarily marked the best and the maps mileages are a bit off, but made for a beautiful, longer than expected hike to Panorama Point.) Our site was very clean, the only complaint I had about our site in particular was that the fire pit was below the picnic table which was below the spot for our tent and the fire smoke overwhelmed the rest of our site due to the upwind. I did not know that we could not bring hammocks to the site so set mine up and came back to find it missing - a ranger stopped by and had put it in our tent with a note - my fault, they were very friendly about it. Beautiful and quiet campground over all with nice facilities for bathrooms and even dishwashing. Will definitely stay again over the National Park!
