Campground is clean, restrooms always clean, camp host is so nice and accommodating. We go every year because this is such a great campground.

@MaxS1247297 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #20

The site was fine, but the water issue really needs to be addressed. Either fix the water supply or reduce the fee, as this is a major amenity that isn't currently available.

@JosephG1100021 · Camped on Jul 30, 2024 at Campsite #19

Trail was near site, site was clean upon arrival, host was polite all around we had a good experience.

@MichaelF110976 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #10

Campground was beautiful, quiet and very well kept. Sites were well spaced and generous in size.

The campsites were very well taken care of. The vault toilets were very clean even on a very busy weekend

Campground host Marsha does a great job year after year (this is her 20th year.) The toilets are kept very clean and stocked all the time. She sees that the campground rules are followed and educates customers. The campground itself is very nice and quiet with excellent shade and only a short walk to Turquoise Lake.

@KirkM5140167 · Camped on Jul 2, 2024 at Campsite #13

It is a very noisy campground and the trail to the lake was closed down, so you have to walk along the road to go down to the lake. If you are staying over the July 4th expect fireworks until 3 am, there is a parking lot a mile away where the local rednecks like to shoot off their life savings. I never saw a National Park ranger which was a bit concerning when some teens across from us decided to leave their campfire going to go see the fireworks in town.On the positive side, the restrooms were very clean and the campground host was excellent.

The veteran host of this CG kept the place tidy especially the vault toilets ! Never saw any sooo clean ! Sites are treed and spacious. Place was quiet and all campers respectful . Nice trail for walking or biking along the lake. Dump station nearby .no Verizon service . Only complaint is about the day use area that is only open open 8-8 so no drive access to fish the lake early morning or evening. I had to gather up my gear and take the 15 minute trail to get to the lake. Youd have to be camping in one of the CGs right on the lake.

@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #21

Great area to explore, Father Dyer camp ground was very clean and well maintained. the camp host was very friendly and the vault toilets were super clean.

@RichardL555896 · Camped on Aug 16, 2023 at Campsite #18

The campground and restrooms were very clean.

@JenniferE59361 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #19

Great camping spot. Lots of shade, close to the lake!

@NoahB4207838 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #13

The camp host was great, offering great suggestions, sites and bathrooms were clean. Overall an excellent weekend

@janem8941297 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #14

Stayed at site 14 for 2 nights. Overall recommend. Campground was quiet. Sites and vault toilets were clean. Tent area for site was very nice. The parking area was slightly sloping, but not too bad.

@RichB7763247 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #23

Marsha, the host, came to our site and gave us our pass and then proceeded to tell us some of the advantages of the pass. She keeps the restrooms very neat, as well as tidies up each campsite after people have vacated. We had site # 23 and it was a perfect site for us, fairly easy to back into. We spent time in Leadvile wandering around seeing the sights and visiting the Temple Israel Jewish Museum (FREE), well worth the time to learn about the Hebrew community in early Leadville history. Several of the other museums in the area were having staffing problems so their hours were somewhat curtailed.

@PaulF2981841 · Camped on Jul 31, 2023 at Campsite #20

Heavily wooded campground between Leadville and Turquoise Lake.

@GORDONS4052342 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #2

The campground is the best maintained that I have ever visited. It is very obvious that she takes her responsibility seriously. The host is friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable on the local sites/trails to see/visit.

@JoeB9521197 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #7

Beautiful campground. Marsha is an excellent camp host. The campground is always in good shape and she keeps the restrooms VERY clean!!!!

@LaurenM8658949 · Camped on Jul 22, 2023 at Campsite #9

Spent two nights with 2 kids, ages 4 and 7 and two doggies. Easy walk to the lake from the smallish campground, which had big sites and lots of shade - made for an great spot. Overall, very family friendly with clean out-houses and easy trash access. Only negative is road boise echoing in from Leadville down valley in the early morning hours. We would definitely stay here again.

@LizC1438969 · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #11

We have visited Fr. Dyer for many years. Marsha is a wonderful host and keeps the grounds and the restrooms very clean. We love Turquoise Lake and Fr. Dyer is our favorite campground

@AlyshaW6B4B4C5 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #14

The best host I’ve came across yet!

@jeffr2985886 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #17

Our Camp Host did an excellent job communicating conditions and requirements for our stay. She was visibly active checking on camp conditions, cleaning the facilities, and was a pleasure meeting.

@RachelH3398655 · Camped on Jun 27, 2023 at Campsite #8

Beautiful campground with tons of shade! Camp host was amazing, clean bathrooms, close to lake activities and to town!

@JoeB9521197 · Camped on Jun 26, 2023 at Campsite #26

Marsha is a wonderful host. The campground is always well kept and the bathrooms are kept VERY clean. Always a fun time at Father Dyer.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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
