Beautiful small and quiet campground. Clean and seems well maintained. Could use some leveling and revision on the sites as they face the "wrong way" for RVs so when you back in your door is away from the camp site. I was in #17 which took 5 blocks to make my rig level. Great location for many miles of forest roads and trails. Thick woods and high mountain meadows everywhere! I will return.

Overall a good experience, sites are spread out. Busy Fairplay weekend and all sites were full.BUT be aware, we had site#5, one of the only pull through sites. Worst site in the campground! Following the one-way loop the site puts your trailer door 4 feet from the road. Also, the site is on a 10-15 degree slope and washed out and rutted. The camp host allowed us to access the site via the wrong direction on the campground loop and that took care of having the trailer door open onto the road.

Great space at each site. Nice distance from each other site. Water from the pump tasted great and was super clean. Just drank it straight from the pump. We stayed at site 5 and 6. Perfect distance from dumpster and bathroom. Just a little walk to get there. Definitely had a good amount of road noise in the night. My niece heard a group of coyotes. It was a good site for a one night stay. We camped here to be close to kite lake for some 14er summits. We left the site around 4:45am and got to kite lake around 5:30am.

We love this campground and have been here three times in two years. Its always clean and and a great location. The host this year was rude and short with us. She also made up her own rules asking rules and made us pay extra for our traile even though it was on our reservation since we had to get a larger spot to accommodate it. We filed a complaint/reimbursement never heard anything back from them or recreation.gov
@TracyR3279026 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #17
Sites are big and give a lot of privacy. Heard a little bit of road noise but less than most places. I have T-mobile and had a decent signal. Bathrooms were clean but a little stinky.
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #9
The location was very nice - well separated from the sound of US285, a mile away. Sites are well spread out and nicely appointed. One concern: We had two parties in a site - one with a tow vehicle and trailer, and one with a tent. We were charged $10 a night for "extra vehicles" - counting the trailer as a vehicle. Our past experience is that only powered vehicles count, and trailers are not "vehicles' by that definition.

The campground was great and super convenient from Denver. Facilities were old and vault toilets were not well maintained, but manageable. Largest and most private sites were 17/18 by far. Just due to the convenience factor I think what we will be definitely be back.
@TanaM52812D539 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #2
Beautiful campground ! Very clean, and well maintained. Will definitely be coming back for future camping adventures here.

Had an absolutely amazing time at this campsite. The campground was almost empty because it was the last weekend of the year. No complaints, only great memories!
@MeganK8AC23BC4 · Camped on Aug 17, 2023 at Campsite #14
Camp site was perfect, host was a delight, really great campground if you are passing through the area.
@DavidC2858387 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #18
The pit toilets were stinky and not cleaned during our visit. Trash cans were overflowing when we arrived and still overflowing when we left 2 days later. The park was mostly empty so it was quiet and peaceful. The camp host was friendly. Our campsite (site 18) was very secluded and we had a great meadow view. I could see how the site might flood around picnic table and fire pit, but it is a big site with a pull around drive.
@PhilipB6762433 · Camped on Aug 2, 2023 at Campsite #18
Well, it was a mixed bag. Site 18 was really great. We had it for two days. We then had to move to site 7 which is the worst site in the campground. Its just a matter of what was available at the time we made our reservations. The campground was quiet and nice overall but could use some updating. Pit toilets are subpar. Water source was sketchy. Not sure Id drink it or fill my trailer with it. Overall, we give it a B.
@LeeN776971F4B5 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #11
We found the camp host very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the visit, and it was nice to have a great water well pump, that was easy to use and the water so clear and fresh! Sites were clean and kept up.
@GordonA4717328 · Camped on Jul 18, 2023 at Campsite #11
Had reserved a site and paid online. When I showed up the site was marked as open-camp host was gone for the 2 days I was there. Someone could have taken my reserved site.
@JonS9305851 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #14
Nice quiet camp area. It is well used this time of year. Bathrooms were decently clean, but not great. Water was good. We would come back.
@LarryC7765348 · Camped on Jul 4, 2023 at Campsite #18
Blissfully quiet on the 4th of July
@VSB9237749 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #15
Our camp host, Caleb, was super nice and friendly.
@KrisJA89F34792 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #17
Great spot! Shade was just right and lots of level sites.
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #2
Great campground with the spaces spread out.
@JudithG6387662 · Camped on Sep 14, 2022 at Campsite #3
Beautiful campground. Nice easily accessible sites. Keep in mind that this is a higher altitude campground so you should be prepared for colder Temps. This is also a burn scar area directly outside of the campground so be cautious if hiking in the area.
@JamesL2887084 · Camped on Sep 8, 2022 at Campsite #1
Nice quite place. Good access to the back mountain area.
@JamesK1667053 · Camped on Sep 5, 2022 at Campsite #17
Nice, quiet campground with spread out campsites, lots of trees and a great host. The hike up to Buffalo Peaks is tough if you go all the way, but it's still a nice hike even going part way.
@Christope11489 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #3
Great spot, very family friendly. Will definitely go back!
@AnnaG4813831 · Camped on Aug 31, 2022 at Campsite #16
Their well is dry!
@PaulM6940902 · Camped on Aug 26, 2022 at Campsite #14
The water pump did not work most of the time. When it did, the water was brown. One of the roads to the campground was closed and we had to make a 30 mile detour. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
