What a hidden gem this campsite was! The bathrooms are cleaner than any campsite I've ever stayed in and were always well stocked with toilet paper. There's running water, and secure dumpsters around the grounds. Each campsite also has its own secure bear box that was large enough to fit my 50qt cooler. Firewood is available for sale, and the campground hosts are very friendly and helpful! 

The campground is adjacent to the reservoir and is within walking distance of the marina grounds. With plenty of beachfront access, many campers were able to set up day tents by the lake, anchor boats, and launch paddle boards and canoes easily. There are a wide variety of campsites available, with everything from larger RV pull-throughs, to small tent-only sites. Some are a bit more shaded than others, though, and I do wish we'd been able to snag one with more tree cover. 

This campground was easy to reach and maneuver around in my RWD low-set sedan, and the roads are very well maintained. There is no cell service at all out here though, and it is easily a 20-30 minute drive to Basalt. 

This was such a delightful find, though, and I will definitely be back!

A decent-sized group of us stayed in mid-July in this dispersed campground. The area felt off the beaten path and somewhat remote without being too isolated. It's a stunning campground, with excellent views, and a decent variety of campsites. It's just under a 20-minute drive to Telluride as well!

You do need at least all-wheel drive to get in and out of this campground, and I would not recommend it for sedans or lowered vehicles. The road in is dirt, but the actual campground road and "parking" is very rocky. A neighbor's Subaru popped a tire during their stay, and it got fairly muddy and treacherous in the rain. 

Bring your own toilet paper, and be aware that there is NO running water. There is a decently clean out-house style bathroom, but it is still just a toilet over a hole in the ground. They did come and pump it out once during our 3-night stay, but I'm not sure how often that happens. You also need to pack out your trash, but there is a convenient dumpster at Lizard Head Pass trailhead, which is less than 5 minutes down the road. 

We saw many deer and birds during our visit, but not much else wandered through our campsite. The sites also come equipped with fire pits and picnic tables, and all in all we had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
