Great campground. Love the views, places to ride our bikes and hikes. Very clean bathrooms. This is our third year spending a week at Camp Hale.

@MichaelD829846 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #7

@CatherineF9963 · Camped on Aug 6, 2024 at Campsite #8

Great locationLots of bike riding and close to Leadville.The history of Camp Hale is so humbling!What an American story..it makes you proud!

@TraciS9731292 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #4

The campground itself is awesome. This year, the company that was hired to do maintenance/camp host left a great deal to be desired. Camp hosts were hired and fired/ hired on a whim with no experience and training, and camp guests had to tell the host to clean the bathrooms and stock toilet paper, put out an abandoned fire, and tell him to NOT SPEED thru camp on his dirt bike. His site looked like a homeless camp (which apparently it was). I don't think every host needs a 34 foot fancy RV, but they also should not have all their personal belongings strewn around their site, and food out. If you're going to hire inexperienced people, at least train them. Please bring back Vista, and camp hosts Traci and Anthony.

Once again, it was a lovely stay in a beautiful place.

@CindeeL49A5EB2 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #8

Lovely setting. Very clean bathrooms. Loved the signs on each site clearly showing if the site was open or reserved.

@NeilS3873716 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #17

We liked the spacing between the sites. It provided some privacy. The restrooms was in fabulous conditions. We tent camped and it was difficult to find a good pad at the site.

@Mitchg62BC9139 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #2

Beautiful, quiet, clean campground. Gorgeous stargazing and nice hidden paved path to the pond. Lots of trails and fishing.

@DonatoD90B68F2 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #6

No water source is a bummer.

@VickyH2383518 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #7

Quiet, nice campground not far from Leadville (to the south) and Minturn/Vail (to the north). As stated, there are many sites without much shade, but several with trees. Spaces are adequately separated. We had no mobile coverage with AT&T. Far enough from main highway that you don't hear it much during the day and there's virtually no traffic at night. Fun place to bike around the base of the adjacent hills on flat roads. If you're an MTB rider, there is a rough road that goes up, up, up about 3-4 miles (along roads) from the campsite.

@StephenP202589 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #16

Small, clean campground with lots of space between sites and a good bit of shade. Well kept facilities. Far from any town so great night skies. Close to US 24 so you do hear the traffic hum.

@LisaD3889585 · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #21

So glad we found this place. The sites are spread out and have great views. Chuck, the campground host was great and directed us on how to get water in Leadville. Bathrooms clean and all sites looked maintained well. We road our bikes all over the memorial site, so much history of the alpine training camp from WW2. Would recommend if passing through the area!

@FrankS4577331 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #16

Loved the campsite. The host was nonexistent . Our site was not clean and our reservation had not been posted. Luckily it was not crowded so it was not an issue. Anyways just not doing their job.

@ThomasM8282631 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #17

Simple and beautiful. Loved the visiting Hummingbirds and even the mountain Jays that kept stealing food when our back was turned. Not terribly crowded either.

@DeniseW6070805 · Camped on May 28, 2024 at Campsite #3

Well spaced campsites. Friendly camp host.

@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Sep 25, 2023 at Campsite #13

Very clean campground and toilets. Friendly host.

@KirkS4559615 · Camped on Sep 25, 2023 at Campsite #12

Our stay at Camp Hale Memorial Campground was amazing. Relaxing and quiet. The Camp Host, Traci, was the best host ever. Traci was very helpful when we arrived and friendly throughout our stay. The Fall views were spectacular. And a bull moose walked through camp for a morning drink in the stream. All in all, Camp Hale is a great place for dry camping. One caution; be sure to verify if the site is left or right "handed" for slide-out and camper doors. They're not all the same. Bottom line; we'll camp here again.

@JudyM6637149 · Camped on Sep 18, 2023 at Campsite #11

This was our second trip to Camp Hale for 2023. The camp host Tracy was awesome.

@SteveC5760416 · Camped on Sep 6, 2023 at Campsite #21

Camp host Traci is the best. Great knowledge of the area (showed me where to go to see a great waterfall) and always greets us with joy. Always look forward to seeing her when we camp at Camp Hale.

@PamB8346179 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #9

Camp host was on top of everything. Very clean pit toilet facilities.

@TraciS9731292 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #3

Everything was very clean, love the site spacing and quiet of this campground. Camp hosts Traci and Anthony were AWESOME, very responsive and informative. This was my 2nd time to camp here, will definitely go back again.

@CoreyN6C4ADCBA · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #8

Great campground. Small with beautiful views. Close to Leadville and Turquoise Lake. Will stay again.

@CarolD2559712 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #4

Camp Hale is a very nice quiet campground. The sites are large. The country around isbeautiful. It was interesting to learn some of the history of the base. We thoroughlyenjoyed our time there.

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!!!
