Clean campground with great water access.

Clean and well maintained campground. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our site was well spaced from our neighbors, but other areas were fairly dense. Electric hookup worked, but no water at the site, and "public water" in the area was a broken water fountain. We filled up at the dump station. Shower house was close, only open 6am to 10pm, pay showers minimum $2. Excessive road noise during the day, it did quiet down each night. If we stay here again we will stay nearer to the entrance or get a cabin.

So relaxing!

We stayed two nights and loved it! Electric hookups (we used 50amp at our site) but no water hook up. Drinkable water close by at various locations within the campground. Some road noise but not bad at all. The lake was great for paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking.

Lakeside

Nice site. Reasonably clean and flat. Electrical hookup didn't work, but I was tent camping so I didn't mind. Water was great and easily accessible.

Nice and close to home

We really enjoyed this place. Some campsites are close together and some are spacious. The Resevior is beautiful and our kids enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking. Camp hosts were friendly. The sites are picked up but not manicured by any means and there is road noise due to the proximity of the roads around the region.

Overall, we thought this was a fun place and will be back due to how close it is to home. A quick hour drive for us. We would recommend getting a location on the waterfront if possible. Easier access to water sports this way.

Great spot on the water

We had a great experience at Horsetooth. We had a great spot right on the water and our kids were able to play in the water right from the campsite. Noise level was a little high but not bad...we enjoyed the time spent there and will definitely go back.

Not worth the price

So, we unfortunately got off on the wrong foot with this campground. It was likely our error, but we did not see anywhere in the booking process that there would be additional fees once we arrive at the campground. This is the only campground we have had this experience with too. This made the nightly rate a lot higher than what it was worth. Yes, the lake is nice, but you are right by a busy road and there is road noise all day and night long. Also, you aren’t on the main part of the lake– more like a little inlet off the main part. The facilities were fine and our site did have a good view of the sliver of the lake. However, if we find ourselves in the area again we will find somewhere else to stay. They did have some sites that you can tie a boat up to. If we had a boat I can see where this would be super fun having it tied up right at your RV site, but without a boat I would check around.

Horsetooth Res 4th of July

Had a great time camping over the 4th of July. We had an amzing view of the water, the bathrooms were great and if you had a boat you can literally pull it right u to shore to anchor for the day or overnight. Great place and cant wait to go back!
