Great spot

This place is great, scenic and potential solitude depending on where you end up. There are a ton of sites in this area that can accommodate most setups. I stayed closer to the dead end of the road and there was a larger group of kids having a ball but it was a Sat night.

Quiet!

I arrived on a Saturday morning and only two other spots were taken. It was a beautiful area although there isn't a ton to do there. There are large fields on one side with herds of cows and a view off of the other side. A great place to go when everywhere else is busy!

Solitude and views!

Spent one night here mid-September 2021 and utterly loved it. Stayed on the west side of the "campground" (not a campground at all -- just a collection of primitive/dispersed campsites with no services) at the very end of the road. The sites were very far apart and we hardly heard or saw anyone during our stay. We stayed in a lovely, large, treed area with rock formations on one side and beautiful meadow views on the other.

It was hunting season and we did hear a few shots in the distance now and then, but we were in a "no shooting" area and it did not disturb us.

Primitive camping not far from Fort Collins

I have camped here multiple times and always have a great time. There are a few primitive sites here with fire pits, plenty of firewood for gathering, flat spots for a tent and fairly accessible with a high clearance vehicle. This campground is an especially good option for those wanting to avoid the summer crowds of the close by and popular campgrounds of Red Feather Lakes and Lost Lake. I often use this as a home base for exploring some of the trails in those areas. There are also lots of fun boulders in the campground area to climb around on or tuck your tent next to if needing protection on a windy night.
