GenieSummary

What others are saying about this campground
Great for car camping, solid fishing, bonfire pits and bathrooms available. Small amount of wood nearby was damp but burned. Purchased two bundles of firewood from a gas station outside Telluride. The campground is nestled in the mountains near Telluride and provides stunning views of the surrounding area. It is great for car camping and offers bonfire pits, bathrooms, and picnic tables. The small amount of wood nearby was damp but burned, so it is recommended to bring your own firewood or purchase two bundles of firewood from a nearby gas station. Fishing is also available and the lake is shallow enough to allow for easy supervision of children. Wildlife such as ducks, geese, and deer can be seen in the area, and there are several small trail systems nearby for exploring. The campground is a pack-in/pack-out site, so visitors should make sure to bring all necessary items and take out all trash. There is no running water, one outhouse, no service, no electrical outlets or RV pumps. It is a first come first serve campground, so visitors should come early to secure a spot.
