Nice campground on the smaller size. Everything was clean and well attended. The lake is nearby which is very nice, but it was crowded when we were there on the weekend. It does take 3 miles of a drive on a gravel road to get to the campground.

@SeanD7997205 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #17

Flat space for multiple tents at this site was a little hard to find and limited shade during the day, but otherwise we had an awesome stay and the kids had a blast exploring the nearby creek.

@AndrewC2299590 · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #8

Great place to camp, however the lake was filled with paddle boards who think they own the lake. Ruin a couple of fishing lines I had out in the water!

@CurtisME70B62E · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #5

Campground is fairly small, some sites have little separation. Water is from a handpump and it is a work out to get 5 gallons. There was no campground host, so the toilets were dirty. it is a nice area, close to Jefferson lake. The beavers are very active along Jefferson Creek.

@AndrewS4701634 · Camped on Jul 16, 2024 at Campsite #1

Site 001 flooded unfortunately on July 17 which resulted in us having to pack everything up and bail. Every bit of 001 was effectively a deep puddle.Aside from that, the location is lovely, it seems most of the other sites were fine and not flooded. I would do this campground again, though probably not this specific site.I would recommend.

Fabulous campsite although we could smell the toilet when the wind blew in the right direction, which seemed often. Delicious well water!

@CateD419D8CEDC · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #11

We had an amazing trip. Amy, our camp host was wonderful! She was so helpful!

Beautiful Campground.

@RyanT8320116 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #16

We love Jefferson Creek Campground. It's always clean and quiet. The creek running near the campground, and plentiful forests around it, are fun for the kids to explore. The trails through the campground make for easy hikes or bike rides. It's also near the lake which is nice if you want to fish or paddle board. Great campground.

@JohnH2789214 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #14

Sites were "messy". Lot's of left over trash from last campers. There were a couple of generators that ran "non-stop" for the 2 days we were there. Overall opinion is that we will not return.

@MargaretF43821 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #7

The campground is beautiful. Unfortunately the camp hosts were completely inattentive. They didnt do any cleaning of campsites after campers left. There was trash in the fire pits, no toilet paper in the vault toilet. And trash left outside the dumpsters was just left there.

@LisaT8225675 · Camped on Jun 3, 2024 at Campsite #6

Water was not available and camp host was not to be seen.

@CarterG67DD93A · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #9

Beautiful campsite, clean bathrooms, walking distance to Jefferson Lake. We stayed in site 9, and fell asleep listening to the creek behind us every night. Wonderful place, we will be back.

@FredK9446883 · Camped on Oct 6, 2023 at Campsite #12

Great experience. Wish the road in was better taken care of. There is only about a mile or two that is rough but it is really rough. Not four-wheel drive rough but uncomfortable for a travel trailer.

@ThomasT2893818 · Camped on Sep 26, 2023 at Campsite #4

Nice quiet campsite with a lot of trees. We had 4 moose as visitors come trotting through our camp.

@LynnF3999647 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #4

The campground was very quiet as it was during the week and there were only about 1/4 of the sites used. It got down to the 40's at night so we were glad we had a comforter as well as our sleeping bags.

@CherylB3572926 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #5

I had the site next to the outhouse, so it was a bit smelly. It was the last site available, had to deal with it. Nice enough campground, bathrooms were reasonably clean, most people were quiet. Saw a moose and her calf walking through the campground one early morning.

@MaxD714CF1FA65 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #10

I stayed at Jefferson Creek camp site 10. It was perfect! Beautiful scenery and positioned well enough in the trees where you felt like there was sufficient privacy for a shared campground. Additionally there were a few trails that branched from the campgrounds to where you don't have to drive to find a place to hike or bike. Then two things I forgot to bring and wish I had was a camp chair and bug spray. There were so many mosquitos! However once the fire was started those pesky bugs stayed away. Also if you were moving like walking on a hike, they could never bite you. The camp site was about 15min from Jefferson, CO where there was a general store to purchase items one had forgot to pack.

@CarsonM6324628 · Camped on Jul 3, 2023 at Campsite #3

We were at site #3. It was huge and easily fit 2 very large tents with room for the kiddos to run around. Lots of trees and shade, perfect for hammocks. The vault toilets were very clean and we rarely smelled them if at all, which was a relief because site 3 is right next to the toilets! There are trails to explore and the camp host was very nice and friendly. My only complaint was the tree stump that was behind one of the parking spots....I may or may not have tripped on it a couple times... I would 100% recommend this campground... especially sites 3 and 4!

@PaulK4963226 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #3

I truly love camping at Jefferson Lake. We see moose and deer, love to fish, and go hiking. I most often take my grandson, who as a ten year is my camping buddy. My major complaint is that virtually every RV uses a generator. Most of them are turned off by 9 or 10pm, but invariably one or two run all night. I wish that there was better signage at each campground that tells the users of generators that they need to be turned off, no later than 10pm.

@JacobS9807253 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #17

We love the Jefferson Lake area! It's close to home for and easy get-away. The campgrounds are clean and well maintained.

@LilV4C3CA19EE9 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #17

We thoroughly enjoyed our camping experience at Jefferson Creek. The hosts (Cliff and Alice) were great! We loved hearing the river by the campground. The lake was closed but we hiked up to it. It was lovely as always.

@LauraF3344985 · Camped on Oct 7, 2022 at Campsite #10

Jefferson Creek Campground provided for the perfect fall campout. The campground host, who was actually the Aspen campground host, who was filling in for the Jefferson Creek hosts who had to leave early, was superb. She was actively checking on campground residents and provided help with everything from firewood to trail specifics. The nearby hikes are absolutely breathtaking, with offerings ranging from the Colorado Trail to the West Jefferson Trail. The facilities were beautiful, nestled in the gorgeous lodgepole pines and offered all things needed for a comfortable stay.

@scottb3088469 · Camped on Sep 20, 2022 at Campsite #7

Road leading into park is very rough. Once inside park gravel roads are much better. Great quiet location. Camp host was very helpful and friendly.

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!!!
