Great calm campground.

This is a very calm campground, surrounded by trees, aspens, coniferous, etc. It is a little far from the lake but there is one entrance next to the campground. It could e chilly at night but not bad. The place is very clean, organized, you can find firewood at the host site. It is not cheap, but still good. Campsites 1, 15 and 16 are some lf the best in my opinion.

Quiet location among the trees

The drive to this campground was beautiful and the location was quiet. We didn’t have a reservation and were able to find a decent campsite on a Thursday afternoon in July 2022.

If I was making a reservation, I would choose one of these sites: 1,2,12,15,16, 17, 19.

Secluded little campground

The Reudi reservoir is a beautiful area. Sunsets are gorgeous and there is a nice hike outside of one of the other two campgrounds in the area. I feel this little campground is the most secluded of the 4 in the area. However, not all sites offer reservoir views. Reservoir is very low this year. We camp here for the fly fishing on the frying pan. That didn’t disappoint. There is no cell service. Closest service area is Basalt, which is 30min away. This site is huge but also very dusty. We loved it tho. Didn’t have any neighbors close to us. Host was very nice and kept area clean.
