I camped here for quick access to the trailhead for hiking the northwest slopes of Pikes Peak.  This small campground was very quiet as there's only 17 sites.

I only spent one night and was hiking all the next day, but each time I used the vault restroom it was clean and well stocked with air fresheners.

My site was relatively small but there was a picnic table and fire ring, which were just a few feet apart.  My site and many others did not have a designated tent pad and the available space would've only accomodated a smaller 4 person tent at most.

The creek was nice but also meant that the mosquitoes were plentiful.  There was no cell service at all.

We camped here two nights to do a couple of things in the Black Hills before heading west across Wyoming.

Everyone who worked here was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were great and the showers were the cleanest I've used at any campground. For those tent camping, there were no designated pads that I saw at any site. We have a larger tent, and our site was smaller and sloping away from a short rise, so we weren't able to situate our tent as well as usual. This wasn't a big issue, but it did storm both nights we were there, and after the first night we did have some water between our tent floor and the footprint that had ran down from the rise. 

The fire pit was very sunken, to the point that they provided an above ground iron bowl for fires, however we did not make a fire during our stay. Our site was to the rear of the campground adjacent to the national forest boundary, so the Wifi was poor and often was better to rely on the 1-2 bars we had on Verizon LTE. But it did mean that this part of the campground was very peaceful. There was an opening in the fence along the boundary near our site with a trail leading to the expansive network of trails throughout the Black Hills National Forest. 

Overall, this is a very good campground in a great location in the Black Hills, but it does seem that the majority of the sites throughout the campground are definitely better suited for RVs than tents.

*Quick note for Dyrt Pros: They do not provide a 10% discount as advertised on the Dyrt site. I checked at the time of making my reservation as well as upon arriving and was told the only discount they currently offer is to retired and current military members.

This campground is conveniently located about 15 miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone NP.  It is very scenic set against the backdrop of the Shoshone River, which there are a couple of footpaths down to the river's shore.  Apart from the occasional running generator, the campground was quiet.

There are the ususal amenities of a tent pad, fire pit, picnic table, and bear bin available.  The vault restrooms were clean throughout our stay.  

There is little to no tree cover throughout the campground, but worse than the lack of shade was the wind, which was bad even by Wyoming standards.

This campground has four loops consisting of 150 sites.  We camped near the entrance of C Loop.  Our site had a mixture of Lodgepole and Ponderosa pines that provided ample shade and hammocking options.  Due to pine beetle kill, the majority of the sites in C loop (#73 and up) have little or no shade at all.  Across from our site were restrooms, trash/recycling, and a water spigot.  This site has a large tent pad that accommodated our six person tent perfectly.  We did have a bear bin for storage, but had to share it with the site next to us as few sites have their own designated bear bin.  At the campground entrance, firewood, kindling, ice, and ice cream are available for purchase.

Across from the campground entrance is located the Park & Ride where all shuttle routes transfer for access to trailheads without the hassle of finding parking.  We utilized this daily for our various hikes and only had one wait in excess of ten minutes.  There are also trails that can be accessed right from the campground.

Apart from the occasional RV generator, the campground was relatively peaceful and we had nice mountain views to the south.  The various campground hosts and rangers that we encountered were engaging and helpful.

We were nearly always able to receive two bars on Verizon LTE (while sitting on top of the picnic table) that allowed us to at least complete calls; otherwise reception was very inconsistent.

This campground is in a beautiful setting right along the Poudre River and steep mountain slopes. It is well maintained by the friendly staff and the hosts Bill and Donna do an excellent job and even came on the evening of our last night to thank us for staying and shared some gems about other opportunities in the area in hopes we'll return.

There are multiple water spigots, trash dumpsters, and restrooms located throughout the campground's various loops.

We stayed at site 34 at the entrance of Crown Loop with restrooms, water, and trash dumpster just across the road from us and the hosts' site is just beyond that where firewood can be purchased. The river is about 20 feet or so from the back of the site. It is $24/night for a single non-electric site.

The restrooms were in all seriousness the cleanest vault restrooms I have ever seen as they were cleaned multiple times each day.

I spoke to the gentleman that tests the water for all the campgrounds in the canyon and reports to the state for the concessionaire, and he said that this campground has the best water quality of any throughout the canyon.

The sites are equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and tent pads. Our site's pad accommodated our 6-person tent perfectly. None of the sites in that section of the campground have bear bins, but I did notice pallets of bear bins sitting in the parking lot at the campground entrance that I assume are to be installed this season. There is no cell service in the campground, but I drove west on Hwy 14 about 10-15 minutes to the small town of Rustic and I was able to get 2-3 bars on 4G LTE.

Hwy 14 runs just on the opposite of the river from the campground, but at least early in the season with the spring melt, the river drowned out nearly all traffic noise and was nice to fall asleep to.

While in the campground, we saw a variety of birds (including hummingbirds), chipmunks, ground squirrels, and a mule deer. I scanned the steep mountainsides looking for Bighorn sheep several times, but failed to see any.

As a tent camper, this is my favorite campground in my favorite place to hike.  If your site is towards the entrance and/or east side of the campground you have wonderful views of the Teton range from your site.  

I have camped here a few times over the years, and have loved it each time.  Due to the view and the proximity to Jenny, Leigh, and String lakes it is an extremely popular campsite not to mention it is relatively quiet due to it being a tent only campground.

The current campground manager has done an excellent job developing an efficient check-in procedure that respects the privacy of the campers, as I have in years prior had people coming to my tent before 6am to ask if I'm leaving or staying longer.

Each site has a fire ring/grate, picnic table, and a bear bin.  The campground has only one bathroom which is centrally located but has been remodeled and is much improved from my previous stays.  Sites can vary quite a bit, but our site had a large tent pad and a water faucet.

It is common for deer and bear to frequent the campground traveling to and from the lakes.

This campground has easy access to hikes around the lakes as well as back into Cascade Canyon.  The Jenny Lake general store/gift shop, ranger station, and boat dock are all short walks from the campground.

This campground is located on the north side of the Twin Lakes just south of Hwy 82.  It is centrally located for a myriad of recreational opportunities: hiking, mountain biking, and of course activities on the water.

Our site was in the valley loop which is the farthest from the lakes.  Our campsite was located on the backside of the campground which is farthest from the lake but had an excellent view of Mt. Elbert (Colorado's highest peak) and direct access to the Colorado Trail which was about 25 yd. from our site.  The only negative was that our location was also closest to the highway; which didn't have constant traffic but steady enough that it detracted somewhat from our experience during our three nights and why I didn't rate it five stars.

Sites have a fire ring and grate along with a picnic table.  Our site had mature Ponderosa pines that provided shade and hammocking.

Not all the water pumps were in service at the time.  Firewood was available for purchase at the campground host's site.  The vault toilets were fine and appeared to be cleaned regularly.

Just down Hwy 82 is the town of Twin Lakes that has a general store/gift shop, food carts, and a visitor center that has great suggestions for hikes if you're new to the area.

This is the only campground in Wind Cave NP and has four loops with just over 60 sites. Loop A is for tents only and is the only loop with designated tent pads. Loop D has group sites that are reservable.

Some sites are in or near trees, but many are in grassy areas with little to no shade.

Each loop has restrooms with flush toilets and running water. There are water faucets for every couple of sites, however at the time there were a few that were not working.

Each site has a fire ring and picnic table.

There is a shed at the entrance where firewood/kindling are available for a donation.

There were lots of wildlife in/around the campground: mule deer, pronghorn, prairie dogs, and bison.

Just south of the campground is the visitors center where tickets for the cave tours can be purchased.

This campground is centrally located for visiting Jewel Cave, Badlands NP, Mt. Rushmore, and exploring the Black Hills region.

My only complaint is that many of the sites (on loops B-D) are more for RVs just to park and don't have much space for tents. As a result, several sites can only accommodate small tents because there's not much space with a fire ring and picnic table too.

This is a large campground with 15 loops of 350 campsites plus group and hiker/biker sites as well as a separate RV park. Although during peak season, it will be full by late afternoon based on the times I've camped here in recent years.

Most sites are forested with good shade on Loops A-G while many sites on Loops H-O tend to be less forested. Many sites tend to have some scrub/underbrush and lack a designated tent pad (including this site).

Each loop has restrooms with flush toilets and running water as well as a utility room with a flush sink for washing dishes. Each restroom site also has a faucet outside for potable water.

Each site has a fire ring, picnic table, and bear bin.

There is a short trail to the shore of Jackson Lake for water activities, great views of the Tetons, a designated picnic area, as well as the marina and visitors center. Another trail takes you to the general store/deli and the laundry/shower facilities (both places have WiFi access although the general store network seemed faster). Firewood, ice, etc. can be purchased at the general store or at the gas station located just before you enter the campground.

There are multiple options for activities from this campground: hiking (Hermitage Point TH), horseback rides, boat cruises, scenic raft trips, fishing, kayaking, swimming, etc. Boat rentals and fishing equipment/licenses are available at the marina store.

Despite the number of sites/people, our site was pretty peaceful. Didn't see much wildlife around the campground this season, although there is a fox den near the general store that has been there the past few years.

Misc. Info: El 6800'; the South Gate of Yellowstone is 16 miles N; Jackson, WY is 40 miles S

Along with Longs Peak, Timber Creek are the only two first come/first served campgrounds in RMNP. Which means that there was a pretty steady flow of traffic late morning to early evening through the campground. Based on other reviews, I was excited to camp here for the first time, but was a little disappointed after a week.

There are four loops in the campground (A,B, C, D), we stayed in Loop D (sites 76-100). Loop D had two water faucets and trash/recycling available, but no restrooms (have to go to Loop C which isn't too far). The restrooms have sinks and flush toilets. Firewood could be purchased from the shed at the campground entrance. Here's a map of the campground. The sites in Loop D are very close together, as if they just wanted to add 25 more sites in a limited area. On the plus side, it appeared that each campsite now has its own bear bin for storage.

The proximity of sites to one another wouldn't have been so bad, but the pine beetle infestation has left the campground with virtually no mature trees, so noise carries easily and there's no privacy. Also, the way some sites were situated in our loop meant that often times people walked through your site to get to their site avoiding the multitude of tree stumps all around.

Basically, no trees meant no shade, wind breaks, hammock, or privacy and a fair amount of noise especially since the campground is down the ridge from Hwy 34.

However, the lack of trees did provide some really nice views as well as good stargazing opportunities at night.

There were usually some elk in/around the campground and our second morning we awoke to over three dozen cow/calves moving through our loop and up the ridge towards the highway, but we saw at least one every day near our site. The Colorado River flows just west of the campground and some times moose can be seen in the area.

I'll be anxious to camp here in a few years once the seedlings have grown some, but our next trip to RMNP I'll be planning ahead to make reservations for Moraine Park or Aspenglen.

The sites at Prospector are well-spaced offering some privacy even though the trees between many sites are still small.  But on the bright side, the shorter trees allow for a great view overlooking Lake Dillon, for now.  The majority of the sites including ours, are spacious with a fire ring and picnic table provided.

Despite the pine beetle infestation, a few stands of mature trees remain throughout the campground including our site (64), allowing for hanging a clothesline and hammock as well as serving as a nice wind break from the N/NW for our tent.

The campground offers water faucets, trash dumpsters, and vault toilets throughout.  Firewood can be purchased from the friendly campground host.

During our time in camp, we didn't see much wildlife although the host informed us upon our arrival that a moose had been frequenting the sites nearer the lake in recent days.

Here's the link for more info and to make reservations.  For sites near the lake, reservations should be made at least a month in advance, but for many of the other sites it's not necessary.  Including taxes and fees, it was just over $26/night (tent).
