Calling this a resort is a joke! It is terraced on a hillside of rocks and dirt/clay. The sites are weed ridden, the clay sticks to your shoes in 1/2" thick clumps. The views are beautiful but that is the only attribute this campground has. First, showers are not included in the $30/ ntight rate...Oh no, that will be $5 Extra! If the proprietor is using this money for upkeep and maintenance, he owes me $4.50!! The bathrooms are small, single units and smelly. The shower stalls are musty and filthy. The kicker, you better not need to use the restroom before 8am. That is when the "store" opens and that is when you can get a key. No Joke! Oh and he closes (locks up) at 9pm. Late night potty break? I don't think so!! I implore you, stay away from this campground!!!! Better to boon dock it along the lake shore if you are so equipped. That is free or maybe $5/ night.

Pretty pricey for a mudhole with beetle killed trees all cut down. Nothing but scrub and mudholes in the roads. Maintenance was really not that evident. Staff and hangers-on in the office were right straight from "DELIVERANCE" the movie AND acted like it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As previous reviewers have mentioned, the trees are gone. The pine and spruce beetles have devastated the forest in this part of Colorado and the owners had no choice but to have the dead trees cut down. Unfortunately, the campground is a mess, tall grass and weeds, muddy, dirt roads and overgrown and undefined sites. KOAs are not all good or all bad; they are separate entities. We've stayed at some really great ones and some really poor ones. This was one of the poor ones and we won't be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this website. We were getting ready to do a week somewhere in the mountains with the family. Trees were important ! So we looked at the campgrounds website - nothing about cutting down all the trees. Thank you for providing a forum whereby we can check these things out. Poor old KOA is just about a thing of the past. If there is an overpriced campground it is sure to be a KOA. They have simply ceased to be a possibility for us anymore, too bad! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
What a disappointment! The trees have all been cut down because of pine beetle, although the ads and website don't mention this. There is NO shade, although a local info paper had a picture of this KOA with many tall pines. Besides being "barren", they haven't cleaned it up with ruts and drag marks throughout where logs were dragged around. Weeds were tall and the interior roads and sites were rutted. It rained heavily the night we were there and we had mudholes full of water. There are no facilities other than a nice store and clean bathrooms. It was way overpriced for what we got, and we won't stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is located in a part of Colorado that is not heavily traveled, and is the only one around that has full hookups. Nonetheless, it is well maintained and the owners were friendly and helpful. Most of the pull-thru sites will be tight for longer RV's, but there is a section of back-in sites that are more out in the open and allow more maneuverability. The major outside activity for this campground is fishing, and the lakes/reservoirs in the area are part of the Colorado State Park system and are regularly stocked. We stayed here in a 33' 5th Wheel and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We will definitely go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The setting is nice but the sites need improvement. The hookups are too far forward so I couldn't back in my trailer as far as I'd like because my connections would not reach. The playground is old and need of repair. However, they do have numerous things for kids to play on. If you look at this KOA campground on the internet, it will show ATV trails nearby. We woke to kids doing laps around the campground on 4 wheelers at 8 AM and they continued for 2 hours. I asked the front office if that was acceptable and the girl stated "as long as they don't act like idiots". Nevermind they were breaking the 5 MPH speed limit. I found this to be unacceptable and will seriously consider other campgrounds before going back to this KOA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Awesome views from our outer site. Horse corral available. Close to fishing lakes. Lots of people bring ATVs here, so that can get noisy. Vault toilets--you know what that means. Great recreation area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This beautiful campground is closing on 9-9-09 so they can remove almost all of the trees since they have been killed by pine beetles! It will be ruined and will be an open bare spot in the forest without shade. The host, does a terrific job keeping the campground spotless. BE WARNED...the dump is closed because of an underground leak so go with empty tanks!! This breaks your heart to see a wonderful campground be ruined! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A great State Park Campground. The sites are large and easy to get into. The electric sites have been upgraded to include 30 and 50 amp service! There is a ton to do here, including hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, and much more. The forests have been attacked by the Bark Beetles and look bad, but come and enjoy anyway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Now this is camping! Sites are among the pine trees, night sky is amazing... This campground was very quiet and extemely well maintained! We were hardly out of our site when the camp host was there raking and cleaning! Hosts were very helpful- wish we could have stayed longer and seen more sights. The only complaint is the vault toilets and no running water. If it had showers and flush toilets we may not have left! I would highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Shaded spots, some were drifted with snow still. Not perfectly level, but what is one to expect in a state park, you're camping after all....walking trail to fishing lakes. Picnic table and fire ring in each spot. Electric at most spots. Nice place to stay. Our space was reserved, but the marker was under another marker, a bit confusing. Friendly rangers.
