Nice private location (campsite #1) convenient to Maroon Lake hiking with parking privileges at the lake. Porta potty was clean. Creek is nearby so you can hear that at night -- very quiet as USFS restricts traffic to shuttle buses during the day and restricts parking at night at the lake by advance permit. For summer stays, I advise booking this at least five months in advance on Recreation.gov (six months to the day if you can; cancellation is always an option)

At site 1. We were van camping (22 ft). The allotted space for parking worked great. The grass on the path leading to the site was very tall. The site was tucked in the forest with a sense of seclusion. With all of the rain & plant growth it was probably damp with a lot of bugs. The flowers bloom like madness in the Spring. & Summer. Nice time.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds I have visited in Colorado. The maroon bells are beautiful and this campsite is the perfect mix of remote while still having your basic amenities. Highly recommend hitting the Maroon bells early in the morning, the parking lot fills up really quick. We got one of the last spots in the main lot around 8am. You have to walk a little to the tent pad for this site but totally worth it for the quiet and privacy.

Secluded campsite with nice off parking pitches for tents and great fire pits and benches. Bins empties each day and the toilet was clean and filled with toilet paper. Couldnt have asked for more.

Got to gate after driving for two days ,they turned us away because of a bear visiting camp . Found this odd when the night before at another camp bear went though and no seem concerned. I'm all for not harming the bears , but talking with the ranger seem like they were not going to do much about the bear. Call ahead before getting there and have second plan.

Wonderful camping. The weather was very mild, even at night and early in the morning. The night sky was bright with stars. Great chance to watch meteors and satellites. The camp site was generously spaced from the few others in Silver Bar. Lack of water was not an issue. The camp ground was close to the road, so during the day you heard traffic, which kept you from feeling you were "deep in the woods," but overall it was great being in such a beautiful spot for four nights.
