The campground is composed of three loops - A, B, and C. Loop A (unmarked) is on the left when entering the campground and lightly wooded with Ponderosa pines. Loop B is marked and is also lightly wooded with Ponderosa pines. Loop C (also unmarked) is adjacent to the fast-moving Conejos River. It is below Loops A and B and heavily wooded with tall, mature spruce. The understory for all loops is grass and pine needles. The smell of Ponderosa is evident in Loops A and B and one can hear the river throughout the campground. This is a pleasant and attractive campground that is excellent for both the transient and destination camper. There are 32 sites, 7 are pull-through.

Aspen Glade is a beautiful campground with the lower loop next to the water. I highly recommend the bottom loop. The upper loops are fine but do not have as much tree coverage and are distant from the river. The camp sites were very level with a picnic table and fire pit as well. There was fresh water available from a faucet but no hook ups. The outhouses smelled even from a distance which was really disappointing (thus 4 instead of 5 stars). It's gorgeous overall, and we'll come back.
Great place to camp, we were by the river very relaxing. Enjoyed very much
Liked a lot and Bill and Deb were great hosts! It was pouring down rain not just your typical mountain light rain ( I call a mist ). It was raining hard so we got our money back and left. Very pretty and again the hosts were superb. We will be back.
We didn't camp ,just did some good fishing. Enjoyed it very much. Very peaceful
The bathrooms; Very clean bathrooms for the type that don’t flush. Air freshener was potent, walls and toilet were clean. Stocked with ample toilet paper. And they even provided sanitizer to clean the seat and hands afterwards.
The camp site was free of litter and the parking layout was convenient. Very well shaded by trees and several trees close enough for a hammock.
