Arapahoe Bay is a very popular camping area sitting between Lake Granby and the Indian Peaks Wilderness. There are some real problems with this area though. There are a large number of condo-sized RV's that frequent this camping area. Unfortunately, these RV's are not restricted to particular areas or limited in their number. At night one hears the constant hum of their heating/air conditioning systems.
Particularly annoying on this trip was that there was No Water available at any of the campsites- (not a big problem for the bus-sized RV's camping near us). That meant driving 15 or so miles into Granby to find potable water. This is unacceptable and put regular campers, you know, tents and pop-ups in a real bind. The camp host at Roaring Creek did have a small tank of water to dole out.
Why didn't Recreation.gov warn us of the water situation before leaving for the site? One has to wonder. It would have been a minimal courtesy and not that hard to post on your site. Having to deal with finding water was an inconvenience for some and a real problem for others who may have arrived late in the day to set up camp and then finding No Water to be found!
This shows a real disregard for campers who are forced to use your site to schedule a reservation and have no other alternative.
You and the NFS should really try to get your act together. Right now I would have to say you "suck".
