First come, first serve is awesome! What a perfect spot for retiring to after a hike to the Rabbit Ears. So many flowers. The camp was large and open, but enough trees for shade. There was certainly some road noise, but we feel very lucky to have been able to stay here.
Good campsite but the road is a little noisy but calms down a lot at night. They are making an attempt to increase the rate from 10 to 26 a night so do keep that in mind.
We were in site 14 which was a large back in with lots of shade. The campground was quiet except for a mentally ill man who intermittently yelled obscenities. Camp hosts had a pit bull which burst through their camper door growling and barking when my husband knocked and asked for hiking suggestions. This is a beautiful campground which should be a 5 but with ineffective and nonexistent camp hosts it only gets a 2.
Not the greatest of forest campgrounds. We've stayed at tons of them, and this is not the finest. Road in is filled with large water filled pot holes as well within the campground as well. This place needs some work. Look at the sign in board out front and they are proposing to raise the rates to $26 a night. Ridiculous. It was close to Steamboat which is why we did enjoy it. The loop to the right is all first come first serve so go there if you don't have a reservation.
