The tent sites inland from the lake and stream on the hill side are very private. Some of the sites in the center or closer to the water are more exposed. Overall, camping at Turquoise Lake was a great experience. Even better if you can bring a boat to explore the lake. Sunset over the lake from a boat is something everyone biding should experience. The May Queen campsite does add significant travel time if coming from the Denver area. It’s at the far side of the lake from Leadville. Add an additional 30 minutes of driving to get around the lake from Leadville.
