This could be a great campground. The location is fabulous - right at the base of Mount Sopris and on the Crystal River. It's about 15 minutes from Carbondale. But, it needs a lot of TLC. The owners were very nice and would bring the honeywagon around when asked (no sewer hookups), but there was a lot of junk laying around and there are MANY full-timers, potentially illegal immigrants, living there in horribly run-down rigs (REALLY run down rigs - so bad you can't believe people are living in them). Our actual spot was great, right on the river, and the other folks staying there were super friendly, but the "shanty town" and all the junk laying around really would make us think twice about returning, which is sad because this has the potential to be a fabulous campground with a little bit of money, time and attention. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Though advertised as a family resort (with photos on the website that match the advertising), as daylight approached (we got there late 30 June 2006) it seemed more of a junk yard and work camp. Along with a large population of what seems to be migrant workers in RV type trailers, there are many hazards abound – old automobile engines, 5 gallon containers of corrosive, poisonous chemicals (clearly marked as such), buckets and drain pans of used oil laying about, and invasive overgrowth blocking views of many of the “riverfront” sites. After approaching on-site management for 2 days about the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms and shower house, management took it as personal affronts and told us to buy a better motor home so we would not have to use their bathroom/shower house, indicating that our standards must be higher than theirs. As we attempted to explain our position (management did not verify the conditions the first day), we were again told to buy a better motor home and “Get our s$%& and get the %$%% out!” along with being told that the cleaning staff’s primary focus was the cabins and that if there was any time left over, they clean the bathroom and showers in the RV area. Several other RVers in the campground had stopped using the bathrooms and shower house. . Redstone National Park is approx 10 miles further down CO 133 and has water and electric hooks up available at many sites, along with spotless bath and shower accommodations – even on a busy holiday weekend. In 25 years of RVing, I can not remember a worse experience! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Be careful. This is one of those places you have to be careful of. The disappointment felt once you actually arrive here is sad. The web site is misleading. It appears that many people actually live on this property and call it home. Great for them but, I am looking for a much cleaner and safe feeling experience that what this place can provide. Good luck. We camped here in a Motorhome.
