I do love this campground - we come two or three times a season since we discovered it - both as a destination and as a stopover because of the proximity to I-70. Most of the sites are fairly private, the vegetation is lush, and the creek sound is nice white noise accompaniment if you're near it. It will completely mask any noise, but even in the low numbered sites the freeway noise is very distant and background. It isn't a campground for very large RVs (like most older FS campgrounds), but I think is perfection for tents or smaller RVs. We have had adequate solar for charging in all of the sites we've camped in, but it isn't full day sun and a few of the sites might have very little. In return it is perfect for escaping summer heat - no AC needed.It is a 12 minute walk to the Vail free bus at the Bighorn/Main stop, which can take you to the village for shopping and dining - very nice since Vail started charging for the parking garage during the summer The bus also stops at several trailheads. But excellent hiking trails start right from the campground (Deluge Lake, Gore Lake, Red Buffalo Pass, even Red Peak) and it is directly on the bike path from Avon/Vail to Copper/Frisco/Summit County so you have a lot of options where you don't need to take your car. No RV water fill-up or dump station, so do both (Frisco or Edwards are closest) if you need to before you get here. Good cell service on Verizon. Rates are FS standard but if course with that juicy pass discount just $12.50 + rec.gov fee. One warning: there are real critters around here (a fox ran through our campsite at dusk), so take the FS (screwed to the picnic table) warnings seriously and use the bear lockers. We'll be back.

We were in at site 5 and really enjoyed our time here. The sites are far enough apart you dont feel too close to your neighbors. The bathrooms were also very clean. Most sites are surrounded by trees and a few are along the river. The only complaint is you can hear the highway noise but being so close to town was a huge plus.

We were driving cross country so didn’t really have time to hang out, but the campground was beautiful, quiet, well maintained and easy to access. Would love to come back some time when we can stay longer.

Beautiful campground near Vail. You can hear the highway unless you are in one of the sites right next to the creek.
