"I love to come up here to get away from the real world. It is so peaceful up here and the people around are so great! The owners are beyond amazing!!"
TravelerI saw the other review before mine and went there last weekend on the ninth and she was extremely rude for no reason. We went there and saw it was full. I had read about other campsites being nearby, so I went to ask her about it and she said that we should go down into the town for the service and look more things up? She also said on the road there could be signs for tent camping? We drove out of the campsite to the area where the map is in the beginning of the road and saw a map of all the campsites, and went through all of the numbers and found a fantastic dispersed site nearby. She did not mention there was campsites right next to the campgrounds or any details about how to get there or where they were. She basically said the same thing that we should have done more research. We came back to enjoy the lake the second day, and she drove by to tell us we were in the middle of a campsite and that we couldn't walk through the campsites, even though it was obviously empty. We had stopped for a minute to enjoy the view, we were not set up there at all . She was so unwelcoming, unfriendly and overtly rude. I've never had an issue with a campground host before.
TravelerThis was a free first come first serve site with about 5 RV spots and a few tents spots. Epic views, river running through, a ton of cows. Really enjoyed. Only amenity is a bathroom.
GuideVisited here back in early season May 2025. There are probably less than 10 spots when you go all the way up the long drive, all with great views, most are on the small side. We ended up making camp in the large open area.
Would recommend 4wd for the last part of the drive to the sites.
GuideGreat camping spots! Would highly suggest site 7, it was really large space and has a path to your own private creek area! Also you need to have 4wd & some clearance to get to any sites past site 3 The first two sites are pretty accessible, just rocky. Really pretty views out there, lots of hikers & bikers in the area.
About 45 minutes from downtown Aspen.
GuideEasy access off of 90 . Gravel road with easy switch backs our 30 ft TT and truck had no issues navigating the road once there decently level sites for dispersed camping . Awesome night view and sunset over the mountains. Our site was a little close to the road so we did her some road noise but not enough to bother us. dog loved chasing the lizards around the camp site . Sage brush and little cactus so be careful when walking around . Off road access for 4wheel/dirtbikes . Days are hot
ScoutChecked out the lower sites of Gothic on a Tuesday afternoon. The first group of sites has a restroom and they are situated in the trees sort of on a hillside. All were occupied except for one site that just looked to difficult to get our 19' AWD van down into and then it really looked like positioning and leveling the van would be an issue. Also no solar due to being in the trees. These sites at least had a vault toilet available. Drove up to the next set of campsites - two spots were vacant here but again, we just couldn't find a spot to park the van that we were happy with (perhaps being a little picky, but wanted something where we could open our slider and set out chairs/ground mat, etc. The two sites that were open sort of left us in very bumpy road in and just didn't work. Drove up the road thinking to scout the next sites but turned around at the "high clearance/4x4 only" sign. Ended up going to Slate River and grabbing a dispersed site between Oh Be Joyful and the large Musicians site. Worked good for the van.
TravelerWe got here Sunday night to escape the crowds but it was still pretty full and we got super lucky with campsite #38. The road is quite rough but I could get here with my FWD sedan (just make sure to drive slow and carefully). Saw some deer right by our site and Gothic mountain looked stunning. Highly recommend!
TravelerFairly remote with basic services. Road was a bit rough with tight turns for the last 2 miles, so your 40' trailer might be challenging. Aside from those things, this was a fantastic campground in a great location. Beautiful lakes with good fishing, well marked hiking trails, waterfalls(!), friendly camp hosts, week maintained facilities and grounds. I've lived in Colorado most of my life, and this was the first time I'd been over Kebler pass... beautiful expansive views on the west side.
GuideFor a private RV campground, it's great. Sites are larger than many campgrounds. Laundry, bathrooms, and showers are clean. The staff is very friendly. Most sites are shaded.... a real treat in this area. This is our second stay here. Stayed in sure 87... Would choose this'd die again. Wifi and Tmobile (3 bars of 5g) great. They sell propane here. Not a lot of entertainment at there campgrounds other than enjoying there outdoors. It's a private campground.... So pricey@ $90 per might.
