Awesome, serene and beautiful campground!

Hands down one of my favorite campgrounds! Located between a bunch of Aspen trees. There are about 27 spots available, all are mostly shaded depending on the time of day.

Plenty of bathrooms/vault toilets available, buildings are new and very clean/well kept! Lockers are available to keep your food and toiletries away from bears - though I haven’t seen any in the area yet.

Camp host is very friendly and knowledgeable, ready to assist with whatever you need. Pricing is fair imo for the upkeep they have for this campsite.

Absolutely worth it for those who enjoy peace & quiet, close to beautiful wilderness in the mountains.

Lots of Trees

The camp host was very nice. There was A TON of firewood available. Almost all the sites have shade. The ground is a bit rocky and unlevel in some sites.

Gateway to an exciting area

We are experiencing a very hot summer, hot even at higher altitudes. Shade in a campsite becomes important. This campground sits in an Aspen forest, and many of the sites have some trees if enough to provide some shade some of the day. A shade canopy or a couple of tarps for shade would be a good idea. Campsites are mostly spread apart enough for decent privacy. Campsites were clean, pit toilets well maintained. Midweek the campground was mostly empty. Accross the road from the cpground is the White River, but it is hard to access because of the dense growth. A couple of miles down the road there are pull outs were there is easy access to the river. Follow county road 8 to the left and about 20 miles up the road there are numerous hiking trails. Follow the road farther you will reach the turn off that will take you to Trappers Lake, at the foot of the Flat Tops wilderness area. Lots of interesting possibilities.

Secluded campsite set in trees

This was an amazing site! Even though this is a group campground you wouldn't know it! We chose a great site that was actually 2 tiered! We had a spot for our truck with truck bed tent and then some stairs led to the picnic table, fire ring, and ground tent site. It was an awesome experience to have tiers at our campsite. The campground was quiet and it was great to be able to walk our dog around with most people following leash laws.

We'd stay here again!

Nice, but not great for tents

This was a nice shady campground. Lots of shade, vault toilets, and water spigots. The ground was very rocky and undeveloped, not great for tents. We kept sliding while we slept. Plus, there weren’t spots for the tents, we had to place them in the RV pull through areas. Not likely to return to this campground
