TravelerSo happy we found Hades
This is a beautiful campground. Although there are several individual sites that are very close together, the campground is generally very spread out and there is plenty of privacy.

Awesome campground. Been visiting here my whole life. Lots to do nearby at Defa’s dude ranch
TravelerShadow lake
While I’m technically writing a review on hades, which seemed like a lovely campground that I did end up hiking through, I actually camped at a lake nearer to Hades, named Shadow Lake, a smaller, less known lake in the Grandaddy lake area, and I had a great time there. The authorities there were very informative and kind, and were very polite about telling us where we could or couldn’t camp. The only real complaint i would have, is the during the summer there are swarms of mosquitoes when you get closer to the lakes. I cannot describe how beautiful the view was with just our small group at the lake. I highly recommend it.
