Beautiful campground. Site 36 is right next to the vault toilet so depends if you like that. Bathroom was in great shape and there were no smells despite being RIGHT next to it. We tent camped and had a little trouble finding flat ground for both of our small tents so we parked the car closer to the picnic table and created a barrier between the bathrooms and our tents. Great shade, lots of hammock trees and felt private enough for sure. Very peaceful being back from the activity at the lake but still easy to get to (2 min drive) for a SUP put in. Or you can walk or bike there easily as well. Host was great and pleasant. Firewood onsite at host site $10 cash put in mailbox.

Clean campground. Private sites with lots of space and trees between them. Two men/women vault toilets on the loop, so one is still available while the other is cleaned. Lots of firewood available for sale for $10 a bundlejust put the cash in a slot. Short walk to lake with beautiful views. Water is very cold, but paddleboarding after the wind slowed down around 6pm was gorgeous! Our second time meeting friends here, and Id do it again.

National Forest site, remote and beautiful. The forest seemed unhealthy. The trails were clear.Our res was in a site unsuitable for our rig, but the camphost immediately moved us to a spectacular one, huge and level.We had adequate cell and internet. Leadville was only 15 minutes away, with everything we needed.The camphost told us there is no dump facility for the San Lius forest,so we had to go to the Leadville Sanitation department and pay $20 to dump, and $10 to fill our fresh tanks.

Camp site was great, camp host was excellent. However, there was a camper that ran a generator non-stop. Needs to be something done about these.

@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #9

Great campsite! Host was very nice and the restrooms were clean. Short walk to turquoise lake which was beautiful.

@JanB6161427 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #40

Beautiful location, quiet campground, attentive and friendly host.

@JeffW3710253 · Camped on Aug 25, 2024 at Campsite #34

When we came not many sites were occupied so we had it to ourselves. The campground is beautiful with lots of trees. The hiking trails around the campground were great and allowed us to stretch our legs and get the dogs out. The bathrooms and campground were VERY clean. The camp host was friendly and helpful. We were a short 10 minute drive to Leadville. 5G Google Fi and AT&T cell service was very good as we were able to stream during a rain storm with no issues.The sites are a bit unlevel but nothing leveling blocks can't handle. The fire pit was full of ash and old wood but we use a propane fire box so not a huge deal. We will definitely come back!

@KenI5DF0556571 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #21

Great campsite. Site 21 next to host David. Drop was well maintained & clean with TP supply. Numerous easy hiking trails & Turquoise Lake 1/4 mile from site 21. Good shade. Bring your skeeter repellent. AT7T coverage 3 bars on an old S8+ & 4 bars on a newer iPhone.

@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Aug 10, 2024 at Campsite #7

David our camp host is exceptional. He made the experience better!

@ChristopherB30 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #5

Overall we enjoyed our experience. We were disappointed with the number of reserved sites that were unoccupied. Its so hard to get reservations. Its difficult to see how many people save spots and then dont use them.

@LawrenceK5C3FF · Camped on Jul 23, 2024 at Campsite #19

It was a beautiful location. We are introducing our grandkids to mountain biking and there is a wonderful beginner trail around the campground. The toilets were also very clean.

@SavannahK9CF37 · Camped on Jul 21, 2024 at Campsite #18

Good campsite!

@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #10

Nice wooded campsites, not far from the lake. Helpful camp host.

@CandiceB53327C · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #29

I do not recommend spot 29 for trailers. The angle of the driveway on the one way road required us to back-up 300 feet to get into it. Several other spots in loop b were the same. Bathroom was clean. Camp host was pleasant. So many mosquitoes in mid-July. A lot of ponds throughout the campsite. Quiet. I could not find the trailhead to get to the lake.

@LynnH9133148 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #23

Our camping site was lovely only too many mosquitos in the evening. The bathrooms were kept very clean, except for the time my husband wanted to use it and it was locked. Was someone inside? Or was the floor drying? A short walk to the lake then along the lakeshore was a highlight. Beautiful! The ashes were never cleaned out of the fiepits as I have experienced in other campgrounds.

@DaveW2940105 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #16

The description for Silver Dollar #16 said that it would accommodate a 30 foot trailer. However, the driveway is very short and best for tent camping, and it is often muddy at the base. It is inclined and would be difficult for a short tent trailer. Thankfully, the camphost found us a another site that would accept our 23 ft. hardside trailer. The camphost was great.

@JonathanW14164 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #27

Campground is well maintained, but no water available this year. Trailers trigger an additional vehicle pass PER DAY, so be aware.

@KirstieNFB6078 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #14

One of my favorite campgrounds, the sites are not too close together and there are plenty of trees and shade in the tall pines. The host at this campground was very nice and gave great info about the short walk to Turquoise Lake from my site. It is very easy to get on the Turquoise Lake nature trail from the site. As an extra plus, the host keeps the bathrooms very clean. Thanks for a great stay!

@GaryA7190292 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #31

Campground is protected by trees from windy days found at the reservoir beach.

@PeterF7272337 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #35

Great site, excellent hosts. Bathrooms were super clean, campground was awesome

@AlbertB7132260 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #17

Nice clean campground

@RachelR8534803 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #31

Great place to camp! Clean and lots of trails and lakes to explore.

@araceligCD5F02 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #6

Near the lake, great place for a bike ride / hiking

@RyanV8528253 · Camped on Sep 10, 2023 at Campsite #9

This was an excellent experience. The grounds are very well kept, and the gentleman working there was professional and courteous. I will go back again in the future. Very nice spot!

@RobertJ5338880 · Camped on Sep 8, 2023 at Campsite #2

Great campground, only complaint is the site itself was a little hilly

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.
