I realized while driving to Telluride that I wasn’t going to make it to my next camp by dark and that I needed to find some place asap to set up for the night.

About five minutes later, I passed the BLM sign for this campsite. I almost thought it wasn’t real because the view was too amazing and the grounds were almost completely empty!! I was able to get what I thought was the prime spot (site #1) and get my tent up with enough time to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The campsite did fill up a bit more as the night went on, but was at nowhere near capacity.

There are two bathrooms. The one I used was clean. There are bear proof trash cans towards the entrance to dispose of your trash. There is also a boat ramp, but that was closed the night I stayed here.

A ranger came through first thing in the morning to check slips, so make sure you pay when you get in and have your slip filled out and posted.
