Always an awesome place to stay. The last mile and a half before you get there is a little hectic, but once you get there, it's amazing.

Ohaver Lake is beautiful but way too busy and loud. The day use areas are hectic all day and there was traffic pretty much non-stop. The campsites on the website made it look like we were right on the lake when in reality we had to walk through the day use area to get to the lake and on the weekends there is no room to enjoy the lake that is near some of the campsites. The camp hosts were very nice.

Campground was good and setting was gorgeous. Nowhere was it mentioned the 4 mile road up there. Two miles were somewhat decent but two miles were bumpy and treacherous. It should be noted for high clearance vehicles.

Host were great, but this small lake has way too many visitors for its size. Campground is nice but day-use visitors more than double the amount of people. Screaming children smoke from bbqs, noise from generators is noisier than the city I live in, Colorado Springs. It was stressful visiting during the weekend. Over crowding ruined the experience. Hard to get your canoe into the water with so many people crowding launch areas. Its a beautiful lake, but day use should be limited. So sad, lived in CO40 years and worst camping experience.

So peaceful and relaxing. Campsite hosts were very nice and kept sites and bathrooms clean.
@KarenS4720852 · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #20
Sites are all beautiful. Take TP with you, as the toilet was not restocked regularly.

The fishing is great. The lake and scenery is beautiful. Great for kayaks, non motor water craft. The vault toilets are clean. There was no water available when we went. Don't bring too big of a camper, it is so very hairy getting up that steep winding road. If I would have run into another camper coming from the other direction, one of us would have had to back up quite a ways. I made it with a 21ft pull behind and 4x4 truck. The bumps are sooo deep and rough so stay 15 miles per hr and less. (There should be signs with what to expect, no way to turn around, going up) Its a good time. Worth the trip.

This lake use to be free when I was growing up nothing but a money grab now.Way overcrowded now the road going up is horrible the amount of money that is made off this once great campground that was free you could atleast maintain the road.I know it is a Forest service road but at least have them grade it the holes and rocks are ridiculous.The switch back above Marshall pass road turn off is by far the worst steep rocks,wash board,ruts,holes.

Had two great experiences. One with TRAIL Life Navigators. The boys had a great time, earned some badges, learned how to cook and went boating.The second was with family. the boys had a great time. learned how to fly fish. They cannot wait to go again later this summer. Plan to take friends from the Philippines. looking for possible available sites Last week of July. Hosts were friendly, courteous helpful and very professional - Great Job -Good example for the boys.

What a beautiful spot !! Lots of activities all around the lake and the fish are jumping constantly We were there in the fall and the aspens were beautiful!!
@PattyOEC8EA32A · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #9
Nice shady spot near the lake (with some daily use traffic). Excellent fishing and paddling. Fall colors along Marshall Pass Road outstanding.
@AmberB2127441 · Camped on Sep 18, 2024 at Campsite #18
Beautiful area, decent facilities and friendly staff. Paddle boarding, boating, fishing & swimming were all excellent! Great accessibility to the lake and amazing views! The road up to the lake was a bit of a rough ride especially for large campers & rvs. But many were there regardless.
@KathrynPDE9EA9 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #32
One of our favorite places to camp!! Small campground with beautiful scenery.
@MatthewD639755 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #25
A beautiful little lake in a lovely wooded environment. Campsites are close together, with one or two exceptions, which makes it less than ideal when your neighbor is running his RV generator most of the morning. If not for that I would give 5 stars. What could have been a great experience was reduced to a good one. Still, this place is worth a visit.
@GeorgeM2930002 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #14
Ohaver Lake is such a special place. Other than having to listen to Generators going till late at night. I wish something would change. The noise ruined the Evening. George
@BrentW1009266 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #9
Very nicely kept and camp hosts were excellent!
@AngelinaTCB4F6 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #13
Beautiful alpine lake at 9000 ft elevation.
@WendyL5177322 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #10
Nice and clean. Quiet. Road in is extremely rough with steep grades in loose dirt and big pot holes. I f you drive very slow you can do it.
@ToddL4603084 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #19
Gorgeous location and nice / basic facilities. Vault toilet and a fe water spigots around camp.. Great views and the lake is a blast.
@NatalieW150630 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #9
Very beautiful campground! Toilets were clean, the site was nice. My only complaint is noise. Loud music from people paddling on the lake, generators running until night. Ive been searching for a place to tent camp near water that is peaceful. Visually, its gorgeous, but I also really look forward to being in nature to get away from the sounds of machines and other peoples music.

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
