I arrived two days earlier before this reservation began. I met Darryl and Janet, Camp Hosts. My site was available, arrangements were made to occupy this site ahead of the July, 30 reservation date. The camp site was ready and was in superb condition, clean, ready for occupancy. Darryl and Janet were friendly, helpful, accommodating of requests to make my stay memorable. They regularly patrolled the entire facility, efficiently cleaned and prepared restroom facilities, making sure that toileting supplies were plentiful. I particularly appreciated they're stopping to chat, asking if they could help in any way. I had an issue with my vehicle, Darryl looked up the vehicle's information to assist if the condition could be resolved, while it couldn't the effort was greatly appreciated. Both Darryl and Janet always asked how I was doing with my bicycling and were supportive with reporting upcoming weather conditions to help me plan my daily adventures. Although my bicycling turned out to be more limited, due to weather and health, I will remember this trip in glowing terms. I love the Echo Lake facility and will recommend it to anyone who has camping interest.The road to the top of Mount Evans is a peak experience that should not be missed. Steady traffic on any day showed the power of this site. I met many campers, hikers, cyclists during my stay. Trails are clearly marked, ample parking is usually available. Cellphone use is limited due to the remote area. Sadly, the lodge at Echo Lake is currently not in use, is under planned improvement, there is only a food truck on that site. I hope the renewing project will be sped up as the Lodge had had a restaurant, rooms plus an excellent gift shop with helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The general road conditions to the top of Mount Evans need work as the pavement is too bumpy in places, making a descent on a bicycle more hazardous than necessary. Campsite signs are clearly posted and are informative.

Good valu for money. Keep in mind that restrooms are just OK and campsite is close to lots of foot traffic. Glad there was firewood bundles for sale, and free water from the pump.
