It's a nice campground, but the lake is empty.

Climate change impacting Western Colorado for sure.

The 18 dispersed sites around the reservoir are spread out where you almost feel like you are alone. We went on Memorial Day weekend and barely seen any other people. The bathroom were exceptionally clean for pit camp bathrooms. We did get bit by bugs. The weather was cool in the mornings and nice during the day.

Lovely area with lots of Ponderosa trees. Bathrooms are kept super clean, as us the whole campground. The camp host, Rez, was so very kind and helpful. I had gotten a screw in my tire and he repaired my tire and aired it up right there at his site! What a guy!!

Clean bathrooms. Wonderful location. I went when the reservoir was VERY full, up to the point of the water coming past the fence posts around the campground. There were bugs, but none of them biting. It was cool, but we even went for a swim. The water was SO clear I could see my feet the whole time.

Not much on the fish for fishing, but we talked with the forest workers and they said the water was REALLY low over the past fall, so not many of the fish survived through winter.

I highly recommend both the campground and the "dispersed" camping locations for camping here. Even the "dispersed" areas had bathrooms and concrete fire rings, so keep that in mind if you are looking for true dispersed.
