We loved it. Beautiful views. Fire pit and tent pads were nice. The rocks around the fire pit glittered when the fire was lit. Kinda cool. We had a nice view of Canon City from Camp #7.
We hiked to Fremont Peak. It's a decent workout with a bit of a scramble at the end. Nothing too major. Gorgeous 360° views. You can see down into the Royal Gorge to the south/west and Cañon City to the east.
We were treated to the most beautiful moonrise (full) on the way down!
This campground is so pretty and has access to many easy hiking trails. The fireplace area is gorgeous!
The best paid primitive camping I have ever had! Perfect places to put the 2 tents we are allowed as well as a very nice place to sit where the fire ring is located. There is a picnic table in each campsite. There was plenty of room for the chairs the 10 people we were with brought, but there was also seating on the rocks around the fire area. The ranger station is less than 1/2 mile from all 12 spots in the campground, someone is always on duty if you need them. Quiet time is from 10pm-6am which is really nice, dogs are welcome but need to be on a leash so that they don't go wandering into other camps. If you forgot to bring wood for your fire you can buy it from the ranger station at a reasonable price
There are many trails you can walk where you will find stunning views! There are restrooms scattered around the area within walking distance of the campsites as well as bear- proof dumpsters for all your trash. 10/10 would highly recommend!!
