Quiet with plenty of space. Nice lakeside views

Gorgeous campground, a real hidden gem- the lake is steps away. Amazing stars!

We were next to restroom but it had a beautiful meadow behind us and was still private. . It was also very dry so was very dusty but this is a very beautiful campground. on

Excellent camping outside of Leadville, Colorado. The campsite was clean and well-maintained. We will definitely come back again in the future.

Absolutely gorgeous location and this particular site was great - just off the lake with an easy path to get there, and next to (but not downwind of) the bathrooms. The whole campground was incredibly clean, including the vault toilets, and the camp hosts (Drew and his wife, I didn't catch her name) were super friendly and helpful. There was a good bit of privacy between sites as well. We did encounter a TON of mayflies, which don't sting or bite but are attracted to light, so bring a bug fogger if you don't feel like dealing with them. Also, this particular site was shaded for most of the day but in full sun from about 1PM-4PM each day, so consider that if you want to be in your tent at that point. I can't wait to go back to Turquoise Lake as soon as possible!!

Amazing spot!! Right next to the water, clean restrooms and trash close by as well. Spacious and quiet, with good tree cover.

Had a great site! And the lake is beautiful! This was the second year in a row that there was no water at campsite. Hopefully they can get the system fixed. To reserve our site I got up early six months before and even then there was a limited amount of sites available. I found out that a lot of people book a whole week ahead and book a total of 14 nights. Then after a length of time the modify the reservation to only the last seven days (eliminating the first seven days). I was disappointed to find out that this was a common practice. The sad thing it doesnt allow everyone an even shot at camping. And when people book the first seven days and dont modify until a later date it eliminates others using those first seven days. Maybe a policy to discourage this practice if some modifies and eliminate dates on the front end of their reservation they should lose 50% of those first seven days. The only way they could get a full refund is to cancel the entire trip. And start all over!! Your rangers do a great job of monitoring the campgrounds!!!

Excellent spot

@ChadR7031186 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #20

Nothing too special or terrible about this site. Close enough to the lake. Small stagnant body of water 20m away allowed for skeeters. Id go back.

@CaseyW8461567 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #14

BUGS! The ONLY reason its a 4 star is because of the bugs. Other than that it was a 5 star campsite. Take all the bug spray you can. There is a lot of standing water around the campsites.

@MartinT6691297 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #1

Very nice area I had space number 1 and there are better ones I was able to ride my bike and enjoyed the park

@BrianT1694442 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #2

Molly Brown is a very nice campground with plenty of trees, shade and easy access to the beautiful lake. It's very quiet and no one bothers you. The only drawback there is NO water at any of the campgrounds. Our camper had 31 gallons and we brought in another 9 gallons, which was a pain, and still ran out after 4 days. The only dump station that we found around Leadville was $30.

@StephenW521762 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #20

Was expecting showers and water. Now expecting some portion of my fee to be rebated.

@BridgetB6D131B · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #4

I love coming to this campsite! It's so pretty right on the lake and everything is always very clean. The sites along the lake are stunning but can be windy at times with fewer trees. I have verizon and had very little cell service - about 1 bar down by the lake.

@KevinH9468586 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #12

Beautiful setting. Easy access to site and leveling of RV. Wish we had booked a few more nights. We only stayed one.

@cynthiat101391 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #7

Hard to find a more beautiful location and campground than Molly Brown at Turquoise Lake.

@JonM9751115 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #7

The site was great as always. The restrooms are always good. The lack of water is concerning when a lot of $ was put into it in the early teens. The closed dump station means that we dont know where people are dumping. That is a big big concern.

@RyanA6059288E6 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #9

nice campsite. not so nice camp host

@KathrynPDE9EA9 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #20

Awesome campsite, great mountain biking and SUPing. The prices on the web need to be updated. They charge $10/nt for an extra vehicle, not $8.

@SethT1549362 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #22

We've camped here several times and it's always been great. The camp sites are clean and orderly, never too far from the lake.Of course, Leadville is worth a visit, but for getting outdoors I have to recommend Mayflower Gulch. Its halfway between Leadville and I70 on the east bound side of the road. A moderate 1.5 mile hike to the most beautiful meadow surrounded by majestic peaks. Can't be more than 25 minutes from Molly Brown.

@CaseyN9F5AC09B · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #38

The campsites are great and have ease of access to the lake.

@JamesB7853748 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #12

Beautiful scenery. Great bike trial along the lake. We stayed in a 26 Trailer. One of the best spots on the lake. No drinking water available hurts the review. They should give us a discount for having to drive into town to buy water. Firewood prices are ridiculous. $10 for 5 sticks of wood.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
