"We hit this place coming from the northern Colorado border with Wyoming on a Sunday night. I've grown up and camped in Colorado my whole life, this place was 10/10, and one of my favorite spots ever!"

"Trailhead for East Marvine Trail and Marvine Trail is not far from the campground entrance. Both trails lead into the Flat Tops Wilderness and are popular for pack rides. "
ScoutWe hit this place coming from the northern Colorado border with Wyoming on a Sunday night. I've grown up and camped in Colorado my whole life, this place was 10/10, and one of my favorite spots ever! With hiking, biking, and fishing, you could spend some time here!

The big attraction in the area seems to be the East Marvine Trail and Marvine Trail that leads into the Flat Tops Wilderness. Very popular for pack trips. We saw quite a few horse trailers in the area.
TravelerHands down one of my favorite campgrounds! Located between a bunch of Aspen trees. There are about 27 spots available, all are mostly shaded depending on the time of day.
Plenty of bathrooms/vault toilets available, buildings are new and very clean/well kept! Lockers are available to keep your food and toiletries away from bears - though I haven’t seen any in the area yet.
Camp host is very friendly and knowledgeable, ready to assist with whatever you need. Pricing is fair imo for the upkeep they have for this campsite.
Absolutely worth it for those who enjoy peace & quiet, close to beautiful wilderness in the mountains.
TravelerWe just returned from a quick overnight at Freeman Res Campground and enjoyed it more than any other camping this Summer. The campsites are well separated, and screened by trees for good privacy. Despite a mostly full campground after dark it was very quiet, no generators, no barking dogs, and no big parties. There is a mixture of pull through, back in, and some tent sites for all camping types. Multiple trailheads start at the campground or close by it. The reservoir is for non-motorized watercraft only, not all campsites can see the reservoir but one loop of sites can. We will go back and hope to enjoy multiple seasons from this campground.
GuideWe are experiencing a very hot summer, hot even at higher altitudes. Shade in a campsite becomes important. This campground sits in an Aspen forest, and many of the sites have some trees if enough to provide some shade some of the day. A shade canopy or a couple of tarps for shade would be a good idea. Campsites are mostly spread apart enough for decent privacy. Campsites were clean, pit toilets well maintained. Midweek the campground was mostly empty. Accross the road from the cpground is the White River, but it is hard to access because of the dense growth. A couple of miles down the road there are pull outs were there is easy access to the river. Follow county road 8 to the left and about 20 miles up the road there are numerous hiking trails. Follow the road farther you will reach the turn off that will take you to Trappers Lake, at the foot of the Flat Tops wilderness area. Lots of interesting possibilities.
GuideThis was an amazing site! Even though this is a group campground you wouldn't know it! We chose a great site that was actually 2 tiered! We had a spot for our truck with truck bed tent and then some stairs led to the picnic table, fire ring, and ground tent site. It was an awesome experience to have tiers at our campsite. The campground was quiet and it was great to be able to walk our dog around with most people following leash laws.
We'd stay here again!
TravelerWe went up in Mid-sept with our dogs to photograph fall color change and were not disappointed. There is a short trail around the reservoir and we even got pictures of a couple beavers. The campground itself is decent and I've never seen it crowded. Road is impassable in winter.
ScoutThis was an awesome little diamond in the rough! We had a blast and it was absolutely beautiful. Totally worth the drive to find this place!!!! Camping spots were kind of close but it wasn't at all packed and what a beautiful little lake!! Lots of trees and a bunch of wild flowers. It was just a great family place!! The lady running the campground was super friendly and helpful. We would absolutely stay there again!!
