Honestly, this campground was a little creepy to me but, I am a little weird. A lot of campers would like the deep quiet, well spaced sites, abundant tree cover and proximity to the lake. I found it to be akin to a Grimms Fairytale in the haunted forest.

Good for smaller rv's and tents, one way road should go the opposite way. Restrooms very clean. Our site 14, we had 2 vehicles a tent and a 22ft trailer a We would stay here again.

This campground is offset from the lake a bit. It is large and there are two loops of campsites. 

The camp hosts are very active and are on top of the cleaning of the bathrooms and the sites. 

The sites are large and can fit smaller rv’s, all size of tents, and hammock camping. 

The road heading around the loop makes it tight for large rv’s or pull behinds. The campground is beautiful and tree filled. Lots of shade at each site. There are ample bathrooms and the sites are immaculate.

We were in site 36. Great campground but very close to a pond. We stayed in early July 2020 and while the weather was terrific, the mosquitoes were almost unbearable. Overall, the campground was very clean and due to Covid, the pit toilets were cleaned multiple times. There is plenty of shade and the site was fairly level so setting up our tent was a breeze. The campground is within walking distance of Turquoise lake. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but will likely choose a site away from any ponds going forward.

Great camping sites near Turquoise lake. There are multiple pit toilets that are clean, very little if any trash, a boat ramp, and a camp host that has firewood for sale. There is a large parking lot for XL RVs and boats and a TON of sites with picnic tables and fire rings all connected by a lovely groomed walking trail that follows the lake bank in a out-and back 11 mile trail. Definitely a peaceful and lovely stay

We've stayed at a few different camp grounds at Turquoise Lake, and this one is one of my favorites. It's not directly on the lake, so it's a bit warmer and less windy than spots on the lake. The lake is only a short hike away...maybe 5 minutes. The sites were well spaced and large. The host was very nice, but my husband thought she was a bit intense. Firewood was $8 a bundle, which seems odd since they are logging in the area and there is really plenty of wood around. Vaults were well cleaned. There was a bog nearby that my girls thought was cool. We could hear the frogs at night. Something growled in the dark on a 3am trek to the vaults. Not sure if it was a dog, a snore, or...? A bird flew into our car and got stuck. This is at a high elevation and nights are chilly, even in July. Drink plenty of water and wear your sunscreen! Bring bug spray!!!

Beautiful Campground. This is definitely the quite general magazine inspired "Camping Experience". A quick 2 hour drive from Denver. Most sites had their own little bit of privacy, in some awesome tall pine trees. We were a short hike away from turquoise lake, which was great because we had some tree protection from the wind (it can get windy on the lake at night) About 10,000ft in elevation, so if you're not acclimated to altitude be careful. One of our couples in the group couldn't hack it after the first night and got very sick. Rain was bearable. Then had a great sunset campfire in the sand on the lake, and it was top 3 Colorado moments i've had since moving here 4 years ago.

Don't hesitate to reserve a spot here, they go fast! We instantly wanted to book another trip here after we left, and everything is reserved on weekends until Sept.

We tent/ motorcycle camped. No frills here. Host sells wood. Quiet and remote. Poor cell reception. Good fire pit/ grill. Vault toilets. Running water at a spigot nearby. Cannot tie anything (lights / tarps) to trees. Pine thickets, no much stargazing access, but easy to come up with tinder, witchwood for firestarting.

Great campground with ample wooded space btw sites. Some sites are a little tight to get big trailers angled into. Some had to go wrong way in loop, might have been rookies😎

We got the last campsite in this specific campground. It was still beautiful. We didn't have a view of the lake, but we were surrounded by aspens. It was peaceful. It gets cold, the campground is at 10,000 feet. Would definitely go again.
