The campground offers two accessible group campsites that accommodate up to 30 people each. Each site is equipped with a picnic shelter, tables, a campfire circle and 12 tent pads. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A volleyball court and horseshoe pits are also available at the campground.
Natural Features
The campground is situated on the northern shore of Lake Granby, at an elevation of 8,300 feet. Afternoon thunderstorms should be expected during the summer months. Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and consequent removal of hazardous trees, the campground provides no natural shade.

A good option on a day when everywhere else was full
We ended up here as Stillwater (and everywhere else) was full. Despite it being for groups, the Forestry staff were sending people here as over flow option.
Campground has basic level sites (gravel) and 2 large communal shelters with 10 picnic tables in each.
No showers .
2 water spigots.
Easy access to the lake via paths & gravel beaches.
As described, there is no natural shade as replanted trees are only 3ft tall.
