This is a beautiful campground. I arrived Thursday afternoon in July and the main campground was already full, but I snagged a great improvised spot just down the road. There are dozens of campsites, probably over 30 that are still within a short walk of the restrooms associated with the Rainbow Lakes Trailhead. The improvised spots have stone fire rings and are scattered along the creek. I'd recommend bringing a table as that was the only thing I found myself lacking. The road leading to the campground is doable with a car, have a Tesla Model 3, but anything with a very low clearance won't make it. I didn't try the short Rainbow Lakes trail, but I did hike the Arapaho Glacier Trail which was amazing and well marked. I'll definitely be back here again!
Great camp ground had a blast! I drove my sedan and made it just fine, drive SLOW on that dirt road there are some nasty potholes and rocks sticking out if your in a larger vehicle then no worries drive 20mph you will be just fine. There’s no water at the campgrounds so bring plenty of your own, also bring a chainsaw and splitter they have plenty of dead wood to be cut up. The grounds keeper that was on duty during our stay was a great guy he was kind and very informative we stayed from 7/22-7/25-2019 3 nights 4 days and would love to come again
Nice campground, fills up fast, no water, nice little trail to the lakes. If you can't get a spot there are a bunch of dispersed spots on your way in.
Such a beautiful and serene campground. Very affordable at 15 per night for a single site. Bathroom was kept clean and stocked with t paper. Also each site had a firepit and picnic table. Beautiful area !!!!! I will definitely come back !!!
This is a great back-to-nature place to go. They offer nice camping spaces, most of which would work best with a tent rather than a camper or RV. The road is a little rough going back in there and, if you are going to see the lake, be prepared to walk back about a mile before you get to them. The hike is very nice on the way though. GO! Enjoy God's creation!
