"The site we got had our door facing another camper's door and our picnic tables were next to eachother, so we didn't spend much time hanging out outside."
GuideVery well maintained campground with spotless vault toilets and clean camp sites. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. He had firewood for sale and offered warnings for recent wildlife issues.
We rolled in mid-afternoon Thu and 5 sites were open. They were all claimed by that evening. There was regular flow of people searching for sites into the evening, but they turned around at the entrance once the Full sign went up. When we left Sun morning there many sites available.
It got quiet early and was great overnight, but many campers are early risers for the hike up Pikes Peak.
No mobile signal once turning off the paved highway.
The two well water spigots were working. Creek was flowing well and could also be filtered.
TravelerStopped in Cañon City then drove out to phantom canyon gold belt tour. The coordinates will take you to where the paved road turns to dirt. You need to go a few more miles and you will see signs for BLM land. The farther you go the better the sites. We camped next to Eight Mile Creek and the tunnel. The flies and mosquitos were bad but our bug screens did their job until dark then we had to close up the van. It was an amazing experience being in the canyon. Starlink worked great as there is no Verizon cellular for miles. It took us three attempts to get our overweight 2-wheel drive van up the hill and back onto the road. There are a lot of loose rocks. We are planning to head back down and drive the whole byway this fall.
TravelerThere aren’t many sites and everyone was taken except the turn around at the end of the road. Wasn’t sure if you were able to camp here but there is a fire pit so setup camp for the night. Not sure why others didn’t take it since it has an amazing view of Pick’s Peak!
ScoutWe arrived on Thursday 8/7/2025 at 7am looking for a spot, it was pretty well filled up but we found site #13 open so we jumped on it. After setting up we walked the grounds as site #13 goes pretty far back and down the mountian and is beautiful, here's why I gave it two stars. 30-40 yards behind our fire ring there were 5 piles of human crap with TP smushed on them and with the wind alot of used TP was scattered across the site, so I had to put on disposable gloves and walk the ground and pick other human beings used TP.
ScoutNot flat at all and right on the road.
ScoutDrove for hours looking for a spot. Insanely crowded.
TravelerThis is a great dispersed camping spot with outhouses around the lake for convenience, well kept and clean! DO NOT let kids or dogs in water, as there is a level red warning for toxic algae!!
ScoutClean camp area, haven’t checked out the bathrooms. Both tent and RV available. Reservations required, but we pulled in and found a spot that was apparently canceled.
ScoutFlat spot for x3 vehicles. Two fire pits and more flat area for tent campers
