Site 4 is one of the nicest campsites I've ever stayed at, and I've enjoyed some real zingers over the past few years. It's set off from the other sites, and you can easily walk down to the river and set up a hammock there. There's also a hiking trail through the pines and aspens that you can catch directly from the site. The campground is peaceful and on the more verdant side of the mountains. Right now, in mid-June, it's full of broad-tailed hummingbirds. I did not want to pay $28 to camp one night, but I'm super glad I had the experience! Host was very friendly and helpful.

My oldest and I fell in love with this place awhile back and we finally brought the entire family for an extended tent stay. The weather was not great. (We live near and understand monsoon, but last week was rough all around, especially for tent camping) That said, the hummingbirds were beautiful, the river just a lovely place to soak your toes and listen to the tiny rapids, the near hikes are all lovely. The host, well, he was strange. He stopped by while I was filling water and proceeded to ask weird questions of my wife and kiddos. He observed me paying for our extra car(wasn't sure my wife could stay the whole time due to scheduling conflicts) but came into our campsite without a word to observe the tag on said car about two hours later. All while not saying a word to anyone standing around. (2 adults and 3 kids) Needless to say, he made a pretty wet and uncomfortable camping experience really awkward. Typically I am able to chat with hosts and learn a thing or two from them about their lives, but this guy was just weird.

Quiet and clean and beautiful. Can’t ask for much more from a campground. Great helpful host.

The campground was beautiful, clean, peaceful…..basically anything a camper could ask for!

Our campsite (#4) was well away from the other sites. Most of the other sites were too close together. The camp host was very nice.
