We have been going to Castle Lakes for the past 16 years and we love every minute of it. The owners have been wonderful to us every year. We started out in our own tent, went to one of their trailers on site and now have moved up to our own 5th wheel. We have not had any problems with any aspect of the campground. The view is outstanding! And the ease to take your Ranger, 4x4, or Jeep on road trips up the mountain is real nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the place to stay if you are riding motorcycles/ATVs/4x4s on the Alpine Loop. You can ride right out of the camp onto the loop- no need to trailer to a drop off point. The campground does have rules as previously posted- 5mph max speed in the park. Exceed the 5mph and expect the staff to let you know about it. Interior roads are dirt, 5mph speed limit helps keep the dust down and children safe. There are 2 stocked private lakes on site ($6./person/day to fish with a 4 fish limit, no state license required). We hade 4 folks in the group fish with ~ 50% catch rate on 12 to 14” rainbows and browns. Sites are spaced nicely apart with great shade. We were able to get 34ft rig into our site with slide on both sides and awning out. Picnic table and fire rings at each site. Restrooms were clean. Laundry was clean and all machines working. There is one local (Denver) channel. We were able to get Dish reception through the trees. WiFi available at the lodge. Looked at other campgrounds in the area, this one has the most shade and greatest distance between sites. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a wonderful campground. Excellent owners, unbeatable view, and lake fishing. It is a bit remote, but that is our preference. Jeep trails in the mountains. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park. We would stay again. A little dusty, but with the lack of rain, it was to be expected. Owner came down after hours and helped with lack of water problem. My fault! Sites had plenty of distance between them so you didn't get the "parking lot" feel but close enough to visit with your neighbors. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

One of the most beautiful settings for an RV campground that I've experienced in 14 years of camping. Extremely quiet and peaceful. Owners are very accommodating and friendly. Trout fishing in private lake is excellent. Many sites are occupied by repeat visitors that spend 1-2 months each summer. Weekly potluck dinner at small pavillion for all campers. Very nice rigs and friendly campers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground located about 10 miles from the heart of Lake City. This is a great campground if you intend to ride four-wheelers on the Alpine Loop. If not, I would not suggest staying here. Campground hosts are just not 'people' oriented. We were screamed at LOTS for pulling into the RV park too quickly (5mph is too fast for them). We have also seen them yell at kids on their bicycles for going too fast (?). This is their home and business but it always feels like you are invading 'their space' when staying there. Just not a homey feeling and I do not recommend. I have stayed there twice. Once in 2001 when it was the only site available for part of our trip and onve with my in-laws in 2004. Both experiences were the same - less than stellar. Be careful with their Jeep rentals. they do not put 'off road' tires on them - street tires do not do the job on the Alpine Loop - too slippery. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nestled in the mountains above lake San Cristobal on the road to Cinnamon Pass. Quiet privately owned park with beautiful tree shaded sites with full hook-ups at about 9000 ft. elevation. Large lodge with some dining in season, jeep rentals, horse back riding, lots of family activities including trout fishing in their private lake for a fee but no license required. Only drawback is 4 miles of good gravel road to campground. We camped here in a 1998` .

We picked this campground on an emergency. The owner bent over backwards to help us back in our limping motor home & even offered tools if needed. They were very friendly, offered lots of info on the area & seemed to be everywhere cleaning and sprucing. Immaculate restrooms & laundry. Free morning coffee on the deck, great cable hook up, pet friendly & Wi-Fi reception. Only drawbacks: sites are tight and no play equipment for kids. We would recommend this campground to anyone! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This a small park in Lake City. It is in town, but is very quiet. The owners are friendly and helpful and keep the campground clean. The sites are close together, however, most of the people stay for the summer and are very considerate. The Wi-Fi and cable worked well. We had a good signal on Verizon. It is a beautiful area and a charming town. Stock up on groceries before you come. It is expensive to buy supplies. One can walk to the town, grocery store and to Hensen Creek which is more like a river for exceptional fishing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this small RV park in Lake City. The owners are kind and hospitable and take pride in running the park. The restrooms and showers were exceptionally clean. (I believe the owners cleaned them several times a day.) It's right in town, which meant we could walk or ride our bikes to the parks and shops. There isn't any shade to speak of for the majority of the sites, but this is typical of most of the RV parks we've stayed at in the state. The sites are pretty close together, but, again, this is typical of the RV parks we've visited in Colorado. Overall, I would highly recommend this park and we will most definitely visit again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Great place to escape the heat in Texas. Cool, quiet, close to town. Easy bike ride or walk to grocery store, restaurants and shopping. Wi-Fi strength excellent, good selection of cable TV channels (too much to do to watch TV). Owners are very hands-on and were out making sure everything is clean and customers are happy. Campfire every night and fresh coffee and breakfast bread in the mornings. Lots of beautiful hummingbirds, occasional deer wander through. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice RV Park. The owners are extremely courteous and helpful. This park in is the small town of Lake City. You can walk to many restaurants and stores. The Wi-Fi is very good. All utilities worked well. Our Verizon phone said "Extended Network" but worked well. There is a laundry that was clean and well kept. We didn't use the restrooms or showers so cannot comment on those. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent park, which is close to town. An easy walk or bicycle ride to the historic area. Three blocks to great food at Restless Spirits. The owner of the park went out of his way to make us happy. Had a very good time here and would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park with grassy sites and picnic tables at each site. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly. The park showers, bathrooms and laundry are exceptionally clean. Coffee is served daily on the covered deck and baked goods 4 times a week. The atmosphere is friendly with a communal campfire in the evenings where everyone gathers. Tent sites are grassy and shaded. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly come again. They have pull-through spaces and back-in spaces which are easy to get in and out of. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our second stay at this quiet, lovely park. We enjoyed bike rides to historic downtown and the wonderful nearby bakery. The owners provide coffee and homemade breakfast bread every morning on the patio. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground and restroom/shower facilities were extremely clean. The owners were very courteous and helpful. My wife and I will go back to stay here again. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Quiet, shaded park 4 blocks from scenic downtown Lake City. We rode our bikes all over town. Took the jeep to go fishing at Deer Lakes and sightseeing. Hummingbirds, mule deer and marmots to observe. This park recently changed ownership and they are working hard to make this a great park. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was an outstanding experience. The facility was clean and in 100% working order. The owners were always here and ready to help in any way. Mornings saw him with fresh hot coffee and her baked goods on the table outside the office. This created a great start to the day! We highly recommend Elkhorn. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been going to Lake City for about 20 plus years. This is the best RV Park we have ever stayed in. Beautiful setting, great owners, abundant wildlife, walking distance to town. We will be returning for many years to come. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This RV park is quaint, quiet, and quality. What a rarity in the RV world. The owners could not be more conscientious. We have already booked spaces for the 2010 season. Truly a jewel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a wonderful place to stay. We came out with three toddlers for the Summer Solstice race. The host was fantastic about having coffee out at 5 am for all of us runners. Restrooms were immaculate. Camper Cabins were great for the family. Thank you for a fantastic visit! We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

This park is perfect for a group, because there is a large deck where you can grill, eat or just sit and talk. Our group included two RVs, three tents and one in a cabin, so it was nice to have a "common" area. The bathrooms are very nice, and it was easy to walk or bicycle all over town. The owners were very nice and accommodating. The complimentary coffee and quick breads on the deck each morning was a great way to start the day! Deer and marmots were a regular sight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites here are very close together and the cable TV was poor, at best. Sites are relatively level. Maintenance of park is excellent and restroom/laundry facilities are very clean. We stayed here three weeks and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very nice campground. The hosts were super people. Would of helped with anything that you needed. They really care about their business and it showed. It is so peaceful and has good walking and hiking trails. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First class operation with wonderful owners. We were on the upper level - kind of tough to get to but just 3 wonderful sites. Very helpful with local info and all. We will be back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We enjoyed our trip, the hosts are very nice people. Wi-Fi was usually accessible. We did not have a very good cable TV signal. We camped here in a Motorhome.

WiFi received well at our site. Owners very helpful in every way. Everything immaculate. Nice laundry. Only regret is that sites not further spaced apart. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Would have been a 10 except the Wi-Fi did not reach into the campground beyond the first couple of trailers. Manager couple did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. They were the best!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great campground with friendly owners. The restrooms are very clean. You can rent jeeps on site. We enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Quiet scenic location. Close to Lake Cristobal for fishing etc. Hiking is excellent. The owner couple are the best. Lower sites enjoy the sound of a small waterfall that he created from the natural spring that flows down the mountainside. Sites are well spaced and the park is elevated so all sites have nice views. Free Wi-Fi and store has a small stock of RV supplies. Definitely will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Tents ARE allowed in sites 15 and 16; this is where they put tenters, tent trailers, or truck campers. We can attest to the restrooms and showers being spotless, as is the rest of the campground. This is a place we've camped at 5 different years, and are looking forward to returning to in a travel trailer. The store has a great selection of unique gifts, as well as a few camping and RV supplies. A recently built covered pavilion with 6 large tables and two propane grills for campers to use, and there's a weekly potluck that draws almost everyone in the campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Fabulous RV Park just one mile from Lake San Cristobal and about 4-5 miles from the heart of Lake City. We have camped here 5 times and love it more every time we visit. There are hiking trails that begin in the campground and lots to do in the area. The hosts, are the best campground hosts I have ever, ever met. He is retired air force and has two sons still serving. There is a store on the property and they do Jeep rentals with discounts to RV park guests. In my opinion this is by far the best campground in the area! Monday evening pot luck dinners are great, and Friday morning donuts and coffee are pretty awesome too! We definitely will return - soon! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Located on the Alpine Loop South of Lake City. Fairly new camp ground, active owners have different activities that they get guests involved. Has Jeeps for rent, gift shop, pavilion, fire rings and picnic table at each site. Bathrooms and showers outstanding. We camped here in a camper.

We stayed here four nights. This park has quite a few regulars that return here every year; so, everybody seemed to know and be friendly to each other. We fit right in. They had a potluck dinner one night and live music on a another, we were invited (but not pressured) to join right in. We enjoyed the music. Bathrooms were heated and clean. WiFi was SLOW! My advice is to use the free high speed internet at the coffee house in town (but my Verizon card also worked. It was slow too). At times, the area was full of deer. I enjoyed my coffee one morning with a deer eating clover at my feet. The famous Alfred Packer Massacre site was nearby, but it was not much to look at. There's good fishing at Lake San Cristobal (just below the park). The nearby 58-mile-long "Alpine Loop" Jeep and ATV trail is a must see! Would I return? I'd be there now, if I didn't have to work. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Older, quiet park. Deer wandering though. Mostly retired campers who were for the most part friendly. Wi-Fi is available for a FEE, but it is reasonable & is fairly reliable. I could see where large rigs might have a hard time getting in and out. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What a great campground. Fishing on site, deer prancing through in early am. Friendly staff, clean restrooms/showers. Even a musical jam fest on Thursday evening. Friendly, clean and laid back. Enjoyed ourselves and look forward to our return. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a pretty rough campground. The roads are dirt with some stone and rock mixed in. The whole campground is arranged a bit haphazardly. We had probably the best camp site available. Mostly because it was out of the way at a weird angle. It was large and covered with gravel. We were warned about not leaving food out because of bears. However, one of the neighbors put out corn everyday to attract deer, birds and other animals. I don't know if bear like corn or not but it worried us a bit. Most of the sites are close together and not long enough for a longer 5th wheel and tow vehicle or motor home and toad. There was extra parking available in the campground. WiFi was slow and buggy. We finally just gave up. According to the instructions, online game playing or any sort of streaming was not allowed. I don't know how anyone could stream anything at the speeds we were getting. We did have a nice fire pit and enjoyed sitting out by the fire. Even though it was late July the temp at night was in the high 40s. Perfect for us. And the night sky is amazing!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful setting South of Lake City. Friendly staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Extremely clean campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
