Quite and Nice

Stayed two days. Was clean when there. Loved the trailhead next to the campsite. The hike is good for kids. We saw some moose by the lake, and fishing was great.

Nice campgrounds

Honestly this campground was very nice and clean when we went to visit.

The drive in was also amazing. When you get to the gate make sure you have 7$ cash.

One of many stops we made in Colorado. Neighbors were nice 👍🏾 the campsites are pretty darn big so it gives you and your neighbors enough to space apart.

We stayed for two days and the campground host was nice as well. Bathrooms were clean. Didn’t see any Bears on my visit.

Lake was beautiful.
