Very cool campground! We stayed in site 5. Just as a heads up this site says is trailer friendly but you just have to park on the road and then walk down to your site. Also the level 2 fire ban is in place for Jefferson County. We thought this campground was Douglas county which only has a level 1 ban. Long story short, we couldnt have a fire but we still had fun. We floated down the river and watched all the fly fishers. Great place! $10 extra a night per additional car past the two car site limit as an FYI.

A few things to be aware of: Biting flies are very bad. If you're not prepared to take shelter in your tent or wear full coverage clothing for several hours, not the location for you. Deet doesn't work on these guys and they leave welts. Dogs are hit particularly hard. For the most part, sites are not pull-up and load out. You will have to carry gear further than most campsites that aren't hike-in. Campsites are very close together compared to other campgrounds as well. Parking is tight and people overload their sites above vehicle capacity, making it worse. There is really only room for one tent per site due to uneven ground.The pros: Fishing access.

We liked how close it was to the river, clean restrooms, and friendly people. We didnt love how close the sites were to each other; it was tough to fall asleep when you could hear people talking and laughing. Easy to get to, paved road the whole way, few mosquitos but lots of ankle biting horse flies.

Lone Rock 05 used to be a prime spot with 2 big shade trees and room on the riverbank to put chairs. I had been there at least 8 times, but it had been at least 15 years since I last visited and was very sad to see both trees cut down and the riverbank had eroded so there was no room to put chairs. No fault of the campground just time passing so keep in mind that there is no shade and, on a 90+ degree day in Denver, the temp gets up there during the day so be prepared with your own canopy. The vault toilet was clean and after the partiers of Labor Day left, it was very peaceful. We never had direct contact with the camp host but never needed anything. I filled a grocery bag about 1/2 full of trash around our site before we left and none of it was ours. Deer came to check us out while we were roasting hot dogs :)

Awesome place to fish and to enjoy the area! Small and often filled to the brim with campers, still a cool place to enjoy Colorado!

The campsite was great for a tent but the path to get to the river went through our site so lots of foot traffic . The bathrooms were very dirty and not well maintained .
