ScoutThis spot was prime. about 125yds off seedhouse rad and 50 yds off of the access road. Plenty of room to spread out. Fire ring. Epic View of the mountains in Zirkel Wilderness. It was amazing to come back to our camp spot after hiking the Mount Zirkel Loop trail all day, only being 3 miles down the road. Actually has 3 spots with fire rings so could accommodate more. 70s during the day and 30s at night in June.
TravelerSite 30 was the best. Right on the water with shade throughout the day. Spots were spaced out for privacy. Bathrooms everywhere and fresh water access.
ScoutEasy to get to. Lovely to see. Pelicans and seagulls. Flat, no trees and darned few bushes taller than sage. SO MANY BUGS.
GuideWe thought we had the perfect spot but too many mosquitoes in summer. It would be perfect in another season.
TravelerWe found the perfect spot about 4-5 miles away from the turn off of hwy 40! There are about 20 sites along this road, this was one of few with a good amount of shade.
GuideQuiet camping outside of Kremmling. Fire ring was on site. No trees but a private place to spend the night. This is a good place for overnight but not nice enough to want to spend more than a night. Mosquitoes in mid-June.
GuideEasy gravel road, any car can do. Poor verizon signal 1 maybe 2 bars, cant load much. Very buggy. Great access to the river for fishing. There are a couple good spots down to the right just before the gate with riverfront access but some road and train noise. The rest of the spots are down the road past the gate and are a little close together but have shade.
LegendRough road, be prepared. Nothing crazy but definitely bumpy. Great spot, no shade so it can get very hot. Nice fire ring, very primitive.
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.
