Awesome views

We stayed 5 nights in our 25ft travel trailer. Found a great spot on fr376 that provided enough privacy even with neighbors. Fellow campers were very quiet. Beware, this area is used for OHV and can become noisy on the weekends.

Great views. Rough road

After traveling off road 375 and south on Lenhardy cut off road we traveled about a half a mile but the road became very rough. Therefore we turned around and camped at a site in the southwest of road 375 and the Lenhardy cut off. The views were great. The lot is not very level. The views of the collegiate peaks were spectacular.

Beautiful Views

Great views, spots are relatively spaced out so you don’t have any immediate neighbors. Had four bars of 5G with T-mobile in my spot

Great sites

After driving in past spots taken we found a great spot with a little fire pit that had great views of Mt Princeton and Mt Yale. Lots of mosquitoes and bugs first week of July.
