Noisiest campground I've ever stayed in. Had to wear earplugs because of freeway noise. And what's up with that 35' motorhome with no front end or engine, in one of the camping spots? Been there forever...
I don't even know where to start after the recent fire we had at the gypsum campgrounds decided to Camp down there this spring since they opened up the trash and the Clutter is just disgusting you think in a community that we have here in Gypsum people would want to join together and clean things up well this is what I managed to do with just 40 minutes of my day and only one Camp spot!!!
Eagle River access for fishing. A moose in our camp in the morning! Easy access. No shade. No payment envelopes available. $10 per night.
We were driving through Vail as we decided to stop at the hot springs. Had a great time, and needless to say we were ready to bunker down. We stopped at this little 8 spot camp ground right off of I 70. Beautiful view just a tad noisy
