Firewood is available for purchase at most cabin campsite locations. Visitors staying at cabins without full bathrooms can access campground shower facilities, which reviews indicate are generally well-maintained though sometimes dated at certain properties.

TravelerFrom a Sprinters point of view.
Sites are $45.00 a day plus parking
Sites were sloped, we took the flattest one we could find and it took 6” to block our van level.
Pit toilets were very clean.
Sites had trees and boulders, spaced roughly 50’ apart, but there visible traffic on the main road below.
It was a nice campground but we liked the Bobcat Campground a couple miles farther up the road.
See separate review.
TravelerWe took our Sprinter for its maiden voyage, this camp ground was beautiful, private and secluded.
Camping was $45.00 a day plus a parking fee.
Paid at the entry point to an extremely friendly attendant. Reservations can be made on line ahead of time and highly recommended in peak season, especially on weekends.
Site were 50’ to 100’ apart.
Sites were wooded and tucked into granite boulders.
In the 24 hours we were there we saw one car and two people walking their dogs.
Sites were pretty level, each with fire pits and picnic tables.
The pit toilets were very clean and with in 100’ of most sites.
Road in had signs stating you had to be in four wheel drive to avoid damaging the roads but they were very well graded.
ScoutNot the nicest but the owners have helped me out a lot.
ScoutI really enjoy this place, I’ve lived here for about 5 months and the staff are great and I like everyone who stays as well!
GuideWe were here for 2 weeks and were rather disappointed.
The South 40 full-hookup sites had the worst sewer smell that I’ve experienced. No, it was not from our tank, it would come around the same time every morning and linger for a couple hours. The water pressure was unreliable to say the least, even when they were only at half capacity in the park. Nevermind the holiday weekend when the park is at max capacity…
We did like the trail around the park and the fenced in dog area, but overall the park was very dirty and dusty and the sites were in desperate need of a mow
GuideThere must be another way in i would assume. 3.5 mile steep climb dirt rd in the rain was slick. After a 8 mile windy rd straight up. Like I said, probably another rd in. Campground is great once you get here. And it's paved!
GuideThe place is beautiful, tucked right beneath the mountain side. There are many trails nearby with many options for those seeking adventure, the campsite staff was very kind and helpful also
ScoutSuper clean toilets, great camp host, and good campsites. Some are really close together, and the water is down a lot.
GuideWhen I lived in Boulder, I rode my bike past here all the time and never knew it was here. While there is some noise from the road, it’s a great setting, well maintained and well organized. This will be our new place to stay when we come to town. Three van spots, areas for tents and lots of lodge rooms.

The reservoir setting attracts diverse wildlife, and several visitors mention "heard many different wild animal noise at night in the distance, saw elk, and eagles."
Hiking accessible trails: Several cabin locations offer direct trail access. "We took the 3 mile hike behind campground which is beautiful but rocky - wear shoes that can withstand rocks. Must return the same way so 6 miles total," advises a Carter Lake visitor. Most cabin sites are within 30-45 minutes of multiple trailheads with varying difficulty levels.
Lakeside settings: Many cabin campers appreciate waterfront locations. "We had a spot right on the water. The river was so calm and peaceful," reports a visitor at Drake Campground. The riverside cabins provide constant water sounds and scenic views.

Varying bathroom setups: Cabin bathroom access differs significantly between locations. Some offer en-suite facilities while others require using communal bathhouses. "EASY clean-up! One of my least favorite parts of camping is cleaning my gear," mentions a visitor appreciating private facilities.
