They still haven't gotten that exit directly off the new road from I-70. So you may still have to climb and descend the steep road from town. The new owners have raised the rates $10-15/day in less than 2 years. This makes staying here more than one night very expensive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a new campground with a very steep climb to access. There is a steady 8.3 mile 8% grade climb from I-70 to Central City and then the last mile up (and I do mean UP) to the campground is an even steeper grade with two pretty tight hairpin curves. We have a 37' Class A towing a Jeep and we made it up here OK, but using 20/20 hindsight we wish we would have un-hooked at the bottom! Once you get up here, the views are beautiful. You feel like you are on top of the world. The sites are large and the WIFI and cable are free. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have a petition they are asking guests to sign which would allow access to the campground from the parkway that leads to Central City. That would alleviate the grueling 1 mile climb up to the campground after getting to Central City. I would have given it a 10 if it weren't for the access issue. We like the campground and would love to come back but we might wait to come back after they get their access road! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived during rain and were unable to look for the sights. Still a better location than most Denver places. About 45 minutes from Denver. We camped here in a Motorhome.
