"We arrived on a Monday around 4pm and most of the spots were open, but it seemed like several others arrived at the same time as us and we actually snagged our spot right before someone pulled into it."
"Our spot was a little on the hill away from everyone and only had a few cars drive by."

Some sights have shade, some do not."

"West Lake campground is a beautiful spot off 74. The lake is great for fishing, and the tent campsites are super private. Your pass includes access to other lakes in the surrounding area as well."
"Great view of the lake. Very quiet. Paths and fishing. Nearby local amenities."
"Big picnic table, bear-proof food box, close to river."
"The spots were well spaced, so I didn't feel like we were uncomfortably close to our neighbors. The campgrounds were well kept, and the guests were pretty quiet. I would definitely make a trip back!"

"Bellaire Lake Campground, located in the Red Feather Lakes region, is a hidden gem. With only 26 sites and situated at an elevation of 8,600 ft, it is serene and secluded."
"This lakeside campground is a gem. With 2 loops, one close to the river, and one a short walk away, it's a nice smaller alternative to other campgrounds in Red Feather."
"This campground is an especially good option for those wanting to avoid the summer crowds of the close by and popular campgrounds of Red Feather Lakes and Lost Lake."
"It was hunting season and we did hear a few shots in the distance now and then, but we were in a "no shooting" area and it did not disturb us."
TravelerThe road was a little rough for a pop up camper. More for tents
TravelerWe have camped here 3 times and loved it each time. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and we had a great time. Unbelievable night skies, and we saw a herd of elk one day as well. No one will bother you!!
ScoutAnother beautiful stay at Sunset Point. Fantastic spot. Great beach and close to town. Thanks again to our fantastic hosts, Nadine and Mike!
LegendNot at all a beautiful area, only a few places to camp and it's a bumpy road and the access points are not good, none of the sites are level, and if you want to go further on to the next dispersed camping area which I did not, you have to drive 10 Mi through private property on a cruddy Road. No cell phone service of any kind and very little wildlife and not much to look at there at all.
TravelerThey literally built this campground on the side of the mountain. It’s a pretty fun place. Be prepared to have to walk up steep incline to get to your campsite.
TravelerThese camp sites are nicely dispersed. The Pingree Road is also super well maintained so I was able to comfortably get to the campsite with a FWD low clearance sedan! Most of these sites already have fire rings set up and the views off some of these are awesome. The Flowers Trail is a great hike nearby.
GuideNice spot lots of spots kinda tight for bigger rigs but I got our bigger trailer up here
TravelerThe second day staying there we ran into a bear and scared him off. Two hours later he can back and we scared him off again. He’s afraid of humans but he did try to get into the car while we were sleeping.
GuideLong road that becomes dirt but not too rough most of the way, lots of pull off spots with fire rings. Some spots have rough pull ins, we kept driving and found a couple spots with easy pull ins and one with a slightly flat spot.
