Remote!!

Stayed for 3 nights w/ my dogs. Campground was about 40% occupid the entire time. Bathrooms were clean. Limited cell service. I have t-mobile and could pick up a few bars at the entrance but not at campsite. Grab groceries before bc you’re in the middle of no where. About 2-3 miles of gravel to get to sites but well maintained.

Clean, well maintained, spacious but buggy!

Stayed here for a night while hitting up some local hikes. It's reservation only and was fairly full on a Saturday night so made sure to book a spot in advance.

The campsite has two entrances - one from the west passing North Michigan Reservoir and one from the South East which is basically from Lake Agnes Trailhead. We took the latter and luckily have a truck with a lift and skid plate otherwise would have been a really tough drive. So just a warning for those who don't - really rough!

For the campsite - really nice and spacious! Amenities like restrooms were really spacious, each spot had a table and nice fire ring, and lastly the gravel patch for tents, etc were in excellent shape. A nice mix of shade and open areas which we liked. The one downside - tons of mosquitoes. Likely hard to get away from considering the amount of rain received but was pretty brutal and had to stave them off towards sundown.

Overall a really nice campsite and the North Michigan Reservoir is a blast if you have a SUP. If you want a really low key, not terribly crowded, well maintained campground in a beautiful spot of Colorado check this out. State Forest State Park is amazing!

Beautiful camping spot

We absolutely loved state forest state park. We stayed in the bockman loop, with beautiful Mountain View’s. Staff was friendly, rangers drove by every couple hours.

We bailed early due to constant bad weather but we will definitely visit here again.

Lack of trees makes for beautiful views

This campground is large and flat. There are lots of spots that are relatively close together, but it seems quite spacious. There are almost no trees in the campground, but the 360 degree views are worth it! The bathrooms were clean. There are lots of great activities to participate in very close by - fishing, hiking, 4-wheeling and more!
