Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (231 reviews, ★ 5.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Nice campground but close enough to I-70 to hear the traffic. Easy access to bike trail that runs along i-70. Vault toilets, nice. ”

Vickie R 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Beautiful aspens and very clean bathrooms!”

Sandra J 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Very much appreciated the tent pad with material that was easy to pound in tent stakes. Most FS campgrounds don't have tent pads, or sometimes the tent material is compacted gravel that is not easy to drive in stakes. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (11,983 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
