Nice level site with room between neighbors. Nearby road is a bit noisy.

Overall, great campground. Map needs to be updated because several spots are literally feet away from each other. We had RV, and had to buy the site next to ours to avoid someone else camping right in front of RV door.

This is a really great little campground. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Of course you could always hope for bigger sites and a little bit more space for things like a bump out. But overall a really solid place to stay. In particular, a good base camp location if you're exploring the nearby Golden State Park. We were also able to use the showers at the community center about 4 minutes away for eight bucks a day. So that was a big help. And also helpful that it's the stones throw back to Golden or Denver if you need something there. Would definitely stay here again.

We have camped here several times over the last 6 years. This year, 2024, was the worst. The roads are in rough shape, the camp sites were littered with trash, the fire pits were not cleaned out. It definitely hasn't been kept up with this year.
@NicolasM6BE36D · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #9
The campground is very good with easy access to the state park, but the grounds are very close to the road. There is more [heavy] weekend traffic than I realized.

Wonderful location, lots of shade, nice large campsites. We have found many hiking trails in the area.

Clean, well-maintained and frequently monitored. Lots of space between pads. Just a few miles down the road from Golden Gate State Park for excellent hiking and fishing. The $8 reservation fee is a little steep for a $24 tent site.

@WalterP2B21307 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #22
The best host ever. Graciela was very helpful and friendly. Our campsite was clean and well prepared.
@JulieNF9AD3649 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #15
Beautiful location & scenery that can't be beat! Only stayed a night, but will be back!
@MargretB90D86C · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #20
Lovely site hidden back in the woods. Very basic amenities - pit toilet, bear vault, water spigot - but serviceable for the night. Tent pad was a shade small for my tent (an ultralight that likes the guylines stretched out quite a ways), but worked fine. There was a short path up to a viewpoint right next to my site that I took advantage of in the morning. I believe I was there the last night available for the season and it was very quiet, which I enjoyed. Amazing views of the stars.

Our spot was a little unlevel, but great distance from other spots. Loved the trail right off the site. Has a water faucet available on loop road. Great nights stay even with rain.
@EdwardK3626935 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #12
Beautiful area of Colorado amongst the Aspens. Will be returning.
@SonjaUBD86AC91 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #15
Campsite is a little difficult to back into with a trailer but we managed. It's a lovely site once you get set up. The Vista is a really easy, short walk with a lovely view.
@KelseyPE384670 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #21
Great campground on a beautiful stretch of road. There is a hiking path up to an incredible vista near the back tent pads. Only complaint was road noise as you are in a valley so the car noise from the highway bounces off all the foothills and mountains.
@DianaWDDE13F93 · Camped on Jul 31, 2023 at Campsite #6
We loved our site outside of mother nature dumping tons of raining and lightning on us throughout the night. The camp host was a gem and we would easily return to this campground and campsite.I would like to see Colorado step it up with solar lights and hand sanitizer along with a deodorizer in the outhouses. We have use some in other states with all of these. Our wifi was full 5 bars and amazing as we navigated the craziness of trying to get park entrance to Rocky Mt for the next day.

Very pretty campground. Great host.
@KristiL2206129 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #7
Beautiful campground not too far from Denver. The drive up Golden Gate Canyon Road was crazy (we had a trailer). The rest of the time we took Hwy 160. Nice overlook from the campground. Cool temps at night when you are at 9200 ft! Not too far from Hidden Treasure Trailhead by Black Hawk - great hiking and mountain biking!
@JoelW8390980 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #8
Great site
@JoelW8390980 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #9
Great camp host, clean bathrooms, weirdly super fast cell connection
@apriln75615686 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #19
Clean bathrooms and great view from the vista! Cell phone service is really spotty and the sites are a little too close together.
@DavidN9135851 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #14
Really nice spot, you owe it to yourself to do the short vista hike. I’d ignore others reviews saying the sites are well spaced out, as they are fairly close together.
@MichaelL540355 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #10
Great location and excellent campground host, Mike

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
