TravelerFrom a Sprinters point of view.
Sites are $45.00 a day plus parking
Sites were sloped, we took the flattest one we could find and it took 6” to block our van level.
Pit toilets were very clean.
Sites had trees and boulders, spaced roughly 50’ apart, but there visible traffic on the main road below.
It was a nice campground but we liked the Bobcat Campground a couple miles farther up the road.
See separate review.
TravelerWe took our Sprinter for its maiden voyage, this camp ground was beautiful, private and secluded.
Camping was $45.00 a day plus a parking fee.
Paid at the entry point to an extremely friendly attendant. Reservations can be made on line ahead of time and highly recommended in peak season, especially on weekends.
Site were 50’ to 100’ apart.
Sites were wooded and tucked into granite boulders.
In the 24 hours we were there we saw one car and two people walking their dogs.
Sites were pretty level, each with fire pits and picnic tables.
The pit toilets were very clean and with in 100’ of most sites.
Road in had signs stating you had to be in four wheel drive to avoid damaging the roads but they were very well graded.
ScoutNot the nicest but the owners have helped me out a lot.
GuideSpent 3 nights here with full hookups. Campground is very open, few trees, nice views of mountains all around, good space between sites, with only a handful of campers here. A full campground would probably feel quite different. Each site has a cement pad with picnic table and fire pit. Shower house like new, clean and worked very well. Great location to explore State Forest SP.
ScoutI really enjoy this place, I’ve lived here for about 5 months and the staff are great and I like everyone who stays as well!
ScoutNice campground except that loop A site 9 where we stayed is closer to the highway so you get highway traffic noise. Loops B, C and D all have nice sites back in the trees. Some sites are on a curved drive so make it a little harder for set up. Over all it was a great weekend.
GuideWe were here for 2 weeks and were rather disappointed.
The South 40 full-hookup sites had the worst sewer smell that I’ve experienced. No, it was not from our tank, it would come around the same time every morning and linger for a couple hours. The water pressure was unreliable to say the least, even when they were only at half capacity in the park. Nevermind the holiday weekend when the park is at max capacity…
We did like the trail around the park and the fenced in dog area, but overall the park was very dirty and dusty and the sites were in desperate need of a mow
GuideThere must be another way in i would assume. 3.5 mile steep climb dirt rd in the rain was slick. After a 8 mile windy rd straight up. Like I said, probably another rd in. Campground is great once you get here. And it's paved!
GuideThe place is beautiful, tucked right beneath the mountain side. There are many trails nearby with many options for those seeking adventure, the campsite staff was very kind and helpful also

There is also a high elevation lake as well as fantastic views of the continental divide," notes one visitor at Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

Wildlife viewing: Fall visitors experience elk rutting season near many cabins. "Go here during elk season. Our campsite sat atop a hill overlooking the beautiful meadow where the elk were calling. It was fun to take a short bike or car trip down to watch for hours and then hear the calls while sitting fireside," reports a visitor at Moraine Loop Campground.
Heated accommodations: Many cabins feature electric heat, crucial during cold nights. A visitor at Frazer Meadow Campground stated, "This was a great campground tucked away in the mountains. There are plenty of hiking trails from the campground and throughout the park. The sites were very private and very quiet."

Reservation requirements: Advance booking essential, especially summer through fall. A camper at Peaceful Valley Campground advised, "Go here during elk season. We didn't actually stay here for the night (again, we wanted something a little more dispersed). We drove through camp, everything was booked way out... So I suggest getting here early or making a reservation in advance."
Limited winter availability: Many cabin facilities close completely October through April. "Arrived today and it is closed off with the sign 'Campground Closed' I should have called before going lol," warned one visitor.
