Great little campground. We went with the whole family and reserved a cabin, two RV sites and a tent site. Showers and nice toilet facilities were the reason we picked this campground and they were so nice. Good hot showers were a luxury. Lots to do in Leadville. The campground is in a great location. If you're thinking you can walk to the reservoir (like we thought), just beware it's a mile uphill on a highway. Lots of easy 4wheeling nearby. **Side note, can't really launch paddleboards, kayaks or canoe from most access points on Turquoise lake, unless you're brave and very agile. It's really

The staff was super friendly! Check-in was easy. The first night we arrived there was a fun ice cream social. Lots of things to do in the area. We will definitely be back.

Very friendly staff. The park had narrow paved roads and the sites are dirt with little to no grass so when it rained it was a muddy mess. They have an overflow parking for extra vehicles or trailers. Had a game room with a pool table and a few arcades that didnt work. The cell service wasnt good and there isnt no WiFi. Plenty of shade trees. They need to put gravel in the sites.

Great Campground!!! Stayed here for the Leadville 100 run and couldnt have been happier (about the campground, my race results are another story) The run goes right by the campsite! Bathrooms were clean, store was stocked, and the sites were clean and wide! Will definitely be staying here next year when I make my second attempt and will be recommending it to others on the running chat sites!
