There was a lot of hiking and a reservoir close by for fishing. Not sure it had fish though ; ) We will definitely go back next season.

I think we had the best campsite very spread out, but this place was beautiful and had everything we needed and were able to watch the sunrise and the sunset. It was gorgeous!

Super clean facilities. Camp host does a great job. Off-road vehicles driving close by late at night woke me up. Then gunshots throughout the night followed by more off-road vehicles made it impossible to sleep. Will not come back. Sheriff needs to stop the noise.

It's a nice area in the woods, but poorly maintained. There was trash all over my site. I picked up tons of metal and sharp objects in just a small area around the picnic table. I wouldn't come here again unless I have to.

Lovely campground, and we took easy excursions to St. Mary's Glacier and Golden Gate Canyon State Park. We also enjoyed the arcade + taqueria in Central City, Monte Lobo. The campground was very clean and quiet during our Sunday-Wednesday visit, and the woods stretching behind the campsites were pleasant to explore.

We stayed 2 nights and the experience was great! Not much WiFi signal but a beautiful location and easy to get to nearby towns if needed. Good tent pad and clean firepits and bathrooms.

I love the accessibility to OHV trails and the proximity to town. Fernando was the camp host and he was Fantastic! He kept the campground clean, was always working and very helpful in adjusting our sites. WE SAW A MOOSE IN CAMP! A big bull moose came straight through the campground, it was awesome!

Lots of other campers playing loud music, lots of loud music and engines revving late into the night. No sense of privacy or peacefulness whatsoever.

This is a nice campground. The host Fernando was SO friendly and polite. He keeps the bathrooms so clean. We were impressed. There are UTVs but it was not as loud as we expected. Great launching location to lots of trails and hiking.

Nice area close to Denver. Amazingly quiet for a busy holiday weekend. The camp host is awesome and the bathrooms are the cleanest I've experienced in quite awhile!

Clean campground. We have stayed several times here. Just be aware that this campground is close to a popular front range ATV/ OHV entry point, so you can expect occasional ATV sounds. Some ATV'ers camp at Columbine, but many more park just past the cemetaries down the hill and use the road to get to the cut-off trail for ATV's. On weekends especially you should expect noise! Almost without exception, the ATV'ers are respectful and slow inside the campground, but once ouside Columbine proper, they can be heard on the road.

Such a cute campground! Close to the city but then far enough into the mountains. Camp host was super sweet and campground owner is super cool!

The current camphost was friendly and kept sites clean..way better than previous host whom was rude and did not keep sites clean and put up fake reservation tags on every site
@CharlesM934555 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #14
Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. There was a bit of noise from the nearby ATV trails and parking lot, but not a lot. ATV traffic in the campground is limited.

Camp site was not very spread out. Family next to us set their tent up very close (Less than 10 feet) to our tent, we could literally hear them snoring and had a difficult time falling asleep. We also were not aware of how close we would be to the bathrooms. Campsite was located right across from the bathrooms. The smell was not pleasant especially in the morning. Families next to our tent would walk through our site to get to the bathroom instead of walking out of their site and around. Glad we tried it, but will most likely not come back.

My grandson and I camped during the week so it was pretty quiet, not many campers. Campground was clean, bathrooms ran out of tp, but other than than it was a great experience!

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.
