Beautiful campsite but without shade

This is a good campground; clean, easy access, but the sites are pretty close together. It's essentially split into 3 sections (Arapaho Bay Big Rock, Morraine, and Roaring Fork). They're all essentially the same campground but they are run by different hosts. Roaring Fork and Morraine are right on the lake but have NO shade. Arapaho Bay- Big Rock is fully shaded and still only minute drive (probably a 20 minute walk) to the water. Morraine and Roaring Fork are the best if all you're wanting to do is be on the lake or if you're bringing a boat. Morraine is really nice if you don't have a boat but want lots of lake time as there's a big sandbar strip that acts as a beach that's within a minute's walking distance of any campsite in that portion of the campgorund.

Please be aware that CO weather(especially in the mountains) is very prone to quick changes. Come prepared with lots of layers, weather-proof clothing, and tents that can withstand a storm.
