This campground is located one mile north of the North Michigan Reservoir within view of the Medicine Bow mountain range. It hosts 52 sites. There are 13 pull-through sites and one group area with six sites.
Features: The Bockman horse corral is located near the pull-through sites. Campground accommodations include vault toilet facilities and water spigots.
From I-70 to the Empire exit, Highway 40, over Berthoud Pass through Winter Park and Granby. 2 miles west of Granby take Highway 125 45 miles to the east side of Rand. Take County Road 27 14 miles to Highway 14, go right to the park 3 miles. From Fort Collins: Take 287 to Highway 14 along the Poudre River 75 miles. When you hit the summit of Cameron Pass you are in the State Forest State Park. The Moose Visitor Center is 8 miles west of the summit.
Bathrooms are super clean, campground was will cared for. Only minute issue was that most of the spots are set up to back in trailers, but they are oriented the wrong way on the one way roundabout so you have to go the wrong way and hope nobody comes out when you're going in.
If your looking for real camping here you go. No phone service closest store is 18 miles away. Loads of walking area. Quiet saw a moose, some deer, wild life everywhere! Awesome.
CPW plant some trees please, the winds and sun can be a bit much. Some trees would provide shade and help block the winds eventually.
Overall a great campground. Not much for kids in the actual loop. But the lake isn't too far.
Heard the wolves howling at 5a one morning. Totally awesome, even if the locals are mad about reintroduction.
Think my next visit I will do one of the primitive sites.
Nice out of the way place, boondocking at its best, we used our generators for power, the wild like moves through the campground, beautiful area mountains with snow caps. The only issue we experienced was the water supply was off due to a bad pump. We had to go a mile or so to the entrance for water. Otherwise no complaints.
