"So we arrived late in the evening after driving the first leg of a road trip. There weren't a ton of spots open, in fact we might have gotten the last one."
"Definitely hear highway noise so I wouldn’t recommend for rent campers as it gets pretty loud at times. Had great AT&T cell service to work remotely."
$14 - $190 / night
"Nice place for a short hike around lake. Not far from eagle."
"Located 15 miles south of Eagle off of I-70 in the White River National Forest sits Sylvan Lake State Park."
"We camped right by the creek and it was peaceful to sleep next to the white noise of it. No issue setting up a tent but make sure to bring layers for night time if you go early May. "
"No need to pay, which means the campground may not be the cleanest, but is is still very good spots next to the creek, which make the nights very amazing with the sound of the water."
$8 / night
"Saw squirrels, deer, one moose, skunk (no spray), a couple prong horn sheep, eagle, endless beauty. Make sure you have full water supply Camp host Stanley is a great guy!"
"Creek at entrance. Wildlife dept offers educational entertainment on Saturday evenings at their tiny amphitheater. Great for children. Sylvan lake is approx 20 min drive."
"Bringing one up could lead to a serious situation , since there are no places to turn around whatsoever. That said, views were absolutely breathtaking."
"Hikers on road in the AM and bikers on trail nearby. Good for a drive through on 70"
"This campground is small and simple but offers great accessibility to all sorts of adventures. The greatest part of this campground is by far, the location."
"The cover for the box was off and lying on the ground next to it. Maybe it was built for a host.
Both hwy 70 and hwy 6 run right along this campground and it is LOUD."
$32 / night
"We came to this campground right after wildfires in 2018 decimated the surrounding area. Despite this tragedy the campground was lush and green, full of adult pine, aspen and spruce trees."
"The road around the loop is paved but the sites themselves are not. You tent peg into the dirt. It’s a 5, 10-minute walk to the reservoir but you feel a world away from it’s busy day visitors."
"Blue Lake is by far one of the most serene glacial lakes in the area and offers multiple primitive camp sites designated by fire rings."
"There are a few campsites next to the river and additional camp sites up the canyon."
"Easy to find the site, ours was near the river. Lots of bugs so bring bug spray. Very calming and felt safe. Would recommend!"
$35 - $60 / night
"Driving through the Vail valley and we needed a place to cam. No answer on the phone but when we arrived there was a number on the door for the weekend attendant."
"Showed up late after driving through vail valley. This made for a nice stop. Kids were happy to play in the field and win in the river. Showers were nice and clean."
ScoutWe loved camping here, there was so much to explore. The drive is gorgeous, we kept stopping to take photos.
The campsite has 1 single-stall campsite potty near the entrance. There are trails from the campsite that go around the lake. There’s also horse trails around the campsite, and we saw quite a few people on horseback riding through.
The other reviews were right in that there are very limited campsites. There’s only 7 and they’re relatively small, some are very close together- especially sites 2 & 3. It would be a good idea for a larger groups to reserve those spots.
We stayed in site 2 and enjoyed our setup. The fire pits are great, they’re tall so they collimate the smoke up and away. The sites also have a bear-proof cabinet you can store food in. They were large enough to fit a large cooler and our dry foods.
Would definitely recommend, we had a fantastic experience.
TravelerAll the spots by the river were taken, but up the canyon there were plenty and the view was amazing! Lots of ATVs this time of year but it was quiet by 10 or 11
ScoutLoved this campsite but was extremely busy (could hear everyone at their campsites) and the sites were small and tightly packed! Definitely little to no privacy for on-site space to use the bathroom with the sites so crowded but there were outhouses at the base of the lake. Not the easiest road to get in and out from frequently. 4WD car with moderate to high clearance recommended.
ScoutWould be 5 stars if the restrooms were open, however the porta-potties are spotless if not somewhat full of waste after only one day. Wonder how often they pump them out?
I stayed at spot 60 and thought it was lakefront. There's a berm between the spot and the lake, no view.
Very quiet campground with generous space for most spots. Easy bike trail to town with rolling hills.
GuideVery remote but easy access, we car camped to be near a trailhead the next morning. We had some visitors in the middle of the night that were racing their trucks around in the parking lot, but I doubt that’s an every day occurrence. Overall pretty good parking lot campsite.
ScoutGreat spot for a night or two , loop goes around hill blocking highway , all sizes fit! Why sleep in a parking lot when this gem exists!
GuideThis is a beautiful spot and definitely needs 4WD as it’s a rough rocky drive up but amazing creek with spots to swim and dive. Also spots to climb near by. Limited spots so get there early and more dispersed as you keep going down the road.
RangerThis series of pullouts is excellent for those that want to camp near steamboat for $0. They do slope upwards, so bring your leveling blocks. We choose the third loop uphill, some lake views and we watched a thunderstorm roll across the valley. We fit our 20 ft trailer easily, others had longer ones, also saw tents, vans and cars camping.
TravelerThis was a really great camping trip. The drive was super easy all around the lakes. I am not a hiker but there are plenty of trails and non- car camping spots along the trails. The spots by the water go super fast and the ones not by the water are pretty close together. The lakes themselves get very busy with day trip folks. Would come here again just a lot earlier in the week so we can get a water spot. Oh also, there’s porta potty’s!! There’s also a cute farmers market on the road before you turn in so if you need food there’s some close by.
