This is not really our type of camping spot. It’s more of an RV park than a camping spot, but for what it is, it’s nice. They have spots right on the Bitterroot River. It’s a bit crowded. We were right on top of 2 other campgrounds, but some spots are bigger than others. Look at their map before selecting a site.
Still, the facilities were clean, customer service was great, the location was convenient to many good fly fishing rivers, and we had WiFi, which we hadn’t had for weeks in our previous camping locations.
This is not exactly our type of campground, which is the only reason I give it 3 out of 5 stars. It is a little too exposed to sun and wind (see pics), but there are some sites that are tucked away a little more comfortably than others. I suggest looking at a site map before choosing your campsite. Unfortunately, I cannot remember which loops are more tucked away than others.
The best thing about this campground to us was it's close proximity to two VERY good fly fishing locations: the Dream Stream and Eleven Mile Canyon sections of the South Platte River. I posted some short videos and pics of these two nearby fishing locations. This campground sits right between them, so it is a short drive to either one.
This park is very clean and well maintained. The facilities are modern and clean. The staff is very helpful.
This is a beautiful campground with lots of family-friendly activities to do. They have direct access to the headwaters of the Colorado River. We visited a little late in the season (August) to catch many fish, but we still had fun. We found some tailwaters below the big lakes and caught some trout on the fly rods.
This site is minutes away from an entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. We got up early and hiked a trail in RMNP and had a few moose walk right past us. It is also close by to the major lakes of the area.
They rent ATVs and lots of people bring their own horses to this campground to enjoy the many back-country trails that begin at the back of the property and go high up into the mountains.
Facilities were well kept and clean.
We love this campground. The staff is great and the campground is beautiful. It offers direct access to the Niangua River, and it is only a short drive from Bennett Springs State Park, where you can fly fish and pull trout from the river from dawn until dusk.
The float trips on the Niangua are gorgeous. I recommend going on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
Our most recent trip was in the beginning of June. It was a little muddy. Our fall trips to this location were absolutely gorgeous.
This campground is close to home for us, but we love it as a quick get away. It has beautiful, tree-covered campsites that offer direct access to the lake. The sites and facilities are well kept and clean. Full-hookup sites don't have any tree coverage, but the electric/water sites near the lake are very cozy.
It is a great place to bike and fish. It also has excellent public hunting areas. It also has a great bow range for siting in and practicing with your bow. You can even climb towers to practice shooting from "tree-stand" elevations.
As you approach this lake, you will think your GPS is lying to you. You are in the middle of corn fields and no lake is visible, even when you are just a mile away. The lake sits in a gorge, and it is you won't see it until you are right at the top of and/or descending into the gorge.
This is a nice stopover spot for anyone traveling west through Kansas. We used it as a pit stop before entering Colorado. It's a pretty lake with good fishing and a nice swimming area. You can also rent boats to paddle and fish. Our spot was a bit exposed, but there are plenty of campsites with good tree coverage and privacy.
