Had a great time at this campground. Was in town for a week or so but didn’t have any camping equipment with me to stay the night but had a blast using it during the day and into the night some. The Hondo River runs right next to the campground so you have easy access to water. There is a pit toilet and it’s the most fresh (I guess you’d say if that’s something you care about) compared to the others along the road to the ski valley. Had a great time building a fire and relaxing under the stars before HAVING to go back to my hotel. Can’t wait to come back next year and bring my camping gear to spend a couple nights. You can camp here up to 14 days. I do want to reiterate what someone already said about the winter and snow season. Unless you have a plow it’s not accessible as the drifts do reach about 5ft+.
My husband and I have yet to have a camping trip together. Both of us have always talked about and loved doing it as a kid but never found the time to do it until now. We had a blast.
We tent camped and stayed in Site 80 on the RV camping area as it was the only area that had electric and water. We weren’t quite ready to go without electricity just yet as we kind of scrambled to make this trip happen before the weather turned cold and gets jammed with holidays.
We stayed a Sunday & Monday night. Upon checking on Sunday the park was PACKED as expected. Rangers were advising people to avoid Yellowrock and find other trails to do. We weren’t even going to bother until the Monday afternoon. So we went down to check out our site and get set up. Site was clean and close to the bathrooms. Neighbors were a little noisy at night but calmed down around 9:45.
Slept great and had a great day exploring the park and walking along the creek and went to Yellowrock which was gorgeous. Just download your maps before you go. No service so be mindful of that. I loved that aspect though.
Monday night was great and previous neighbors had check out that day so a peaceful nights sleep was had.
Can’t wait to come back and visit again!
