Great location for lots of activities!

This campground is located on the north side of the Twin Lakes just south of Hwy 82.  It is centrally located for a myriad of recreational opportunities: hiking, mountain biking, and of course activities on the water.

Our site was in the valley loop which is the farthest from the lakes.  Our campsite was located on the backside of the campground which is farthest from the lake but had an excellent view of Mt. Elbert (Colorado's highest peak) and direct access to the Colorado Trail which was about 25 yd. from our site.  The only negative was that our location was also closest to the highway; which didn't have constant traffic but steady enough that it detracted somewhat from our experience during our three nights and why I didn't rate it five stars.

Sites have a fire ring and grate along with a picnic table.  Our site had mature Ponderosa pines that provided shade and hammocking.

Not all the water pumps were in service at the time.  Firewood was available for purchase at the campground host's site.  The vault toilets were fine and appeared to be cleaned regularly.

Just down Hwy 82 is the town of Twin Lakes that has a general store/gift shop, food carts, and a visitor center that has great suggestions for hikes if you're new to the area.
