The moose were truly an amazing site to see, nobody in my party from California had ever seen a moose before this trip to Colorado.
No dog runs for pups, lots of places to walk though. There are long term “campers” at this park. Bathrooms were clean but dated.
Dogs allowed on a leash and you're within minutes of a boat ramp, hikes, and awesome views!
We didn't feel the "Oh, God... another tourist" vibes we got from basically everyone else in Colorado.
RangerVery nice camping not far from Fort Collins. Great lake for non-motorized boats.
Leave no trace.
GuideGreat spot with lots ofspace, beautiful views and only a little over an hour west from Fort Collins
GuideMe and a buddy camped here one night on our way to Yellowstone. Only a little over an hour from Fort Collins Colorado and boy were we impressed with this place. Beautiful hills and rocks for good wind blockage and plenty of trees for great cozy scenery. Definitely one of our most favorite Wyoming spots from the trip.
ScoutWe loved this little campground! It is the perfect getaway from Fort Collins being easy to find and not too far. We loved going in the winter and enjoying the sounds of the river lack of cell service for a weekend. Lots of hiking, mountain biking and rafting opportunities nearby.
GuideVery nice and clean campground. Since this is an hour from Fort Collins and the front range and has a large day use area attached expect a lot of people. Evenings and early mornings are great but on the weekends expect crowds of trail walkers going by your campsite and floatillas of SUPs, kayaks and canoes on the lake. The wind also gets really strong in the late morning through the afternoon. Bathrooms are very clean. Campsites area well spaced and large.
GuideCampground is about an hour from Fort Collins. We got there late on a Friday night and there were plenty of spots open. The site was exposed so we set up behind the trees on the right side. Gave some protection from wind but not much. Sunset was amazing, but the real show happened when the stars came out. I think it was the most stars I've ever seen. I definitely would camp here again for a quick weekend getaway.
TravelerMy wife and I camped here over memorial day weekend and found this campsite to be very peaceful. It is directly adjacent to the river and offers a very pleasant back noise of flowing river water. The campground host were very accommodating and the compost toilet’s were some of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. The drinking water was also very good, however you don’t want to run the faucet very fast otherwise you kick up sediment from the pipes. This is a very remote campsite that is at least 30 minutes from Fort Collins and any amount of services. There is a very neat restaurant/bar called the Mishawaka that is about 7 miles away that I recommend you visit if you camp here.
RangerThe selling point of this campground is location. It’s as close to Rocky Mountain National Park as you can get without actually camping on NPS property. You are completely surrounded by the mountains and the views are amazing. There’s a beautiful river flowing nearby. Easy access to Estes Park. I biked into downtown and back easily. Close to a great little market and several restaurants. Sites are very tight with no privacy unless you are along the edges of the park. Nice laundry facilities, mini golf, and a small pond. There’s a small dog park but I’d recommend taking your dog to the city’s dog park about 10 minutes away. It’s worth the drive and your dog can go swimming on a beach.
ScoutEasy access just outside of town, clean toilets and fresh drinking water easily accessible. Stayed for two nights whilst visiting Fort Collins region.
