Lots of snow on the trail. Beautiful day. 73 degrees. Bring traction, gators and poles.

We hiked to Goblin's Forest Campground from the Longs Peak Trailhead. This is a quick, uphill hike that is approximately 1.2 miles.

The campground has 6 backcountry camping sites and 1 latrine. The latrine is the first thing you see when hiking into the campsites. The campsites are fairly close to each other. We were able to see 2 other sites from ours. All of the campsites do have flat space for tents.

Unfortunately, we ran into some bad weather (downpour, hail, thunder, lightning) but we were able to get our tent up in time, so the card games began!

We had a fun time camping, but I would have liked this campground more if the campsites were more dispersed and private.
