Great quiet zone on a Tuesday evening, super close to town and easily accessible. Decent tree coverage.

Beautiful views!

Stayed here multiple times, and it has been great every time! Many, many sites as you continue down the road. Road is not perfect, but even with a low clearance vehicle, it's doable if you take it slow. Not a whole ton of foliage cover so you are kind of exposed to other campsites, but not a huge deal.

Many sites and very close to town.

Rlly nice and quiet at night but even in march expect other cars and dogs. People were getting stuck and having to push so use common sense in the snow 

Still lots of people 

Over Labor Day weekend, a group from where I work went for the long weekend! Pretty crowded but we stayed through Monday night into Tuesday and most people left Monday. There was a moderate fire warning but we didn’t have any issues! Right next to a running stream from turquoise lake and about a 10-15 minute drive from where we camped. We did have a little issue trying to find a place to dump our trash, but they have a dump site. Multiple recycling bins and one trash bin. But you need one of the yellow bags. Someone told me they were $8 a bag. We ended up carrying all our trash out and back to Denver with us. 

Got cold at night (low 40’s) but shorts and a tank top during the day! 

Great for group camping

This is the closest area to the lack but you cant see it. Younare also right against the road coming in. And a logging area. So ita kind of a loud and ugly spot. You cant see the mountains at all. The spaces are very close in a small thinly wooded area. This is by far the worst of the 4 areas out here. 2 bars verizon and rocky dirt road. 2wd with some clearance is fine. I highly recceomend driving around the dirt roads back here and getting to one of the much better areas
