Clean bathroom and zero trash!

My husband and I were pleased with this campsite! We celebrated our 1 year anniversary here!

The campground is small in size but each site was equipped with everything you needed. The bathroom was one of the cleanest campsite bathrooms we’ve ever seen and there was no trash spread on the grounds. Very clean. The view of the mountains was incredible even with the downpour of rain and heavy fog. We stayed in a #vanlife camper van so getting wet and staying warm wasnt and issue for us. 🙂 Because you’re well in the mountains, id definitely suggest packing several tarps for ground and roof cover if you’re using tents! I missed out but my husband and other campers saw a large moose just 2 camp spots away from our spot!

This campsite is situated along the CDT so you can imagine just how beautiful it is. It has a lot of different hiking trails for exploring and photography!

Estés park and RMNP are not far from the campground at all which was a HUGE plus! Before we camped, we hiked the Dream Lake/Emerald Lake trail in the park. The views along this hike are breathtaking—my camera and i were very pleased!

Pets are allowed at the campground and there was a water spigot outside of the bathroom. No fires were allowed during our stay due to fire danger.

We will definitely be camping/exploring there again!
