    Great campground in Gunnison National Forest. It is on Forest Service Road 706, off county road…read more12, between Paonia and Crested Butte. There are 15 campsites (FCFS) plus a small parking area for day use. CR 12 and FSR 706 are not paved, but any vehicle can travel the roads. The highlight of the campground is Lost Lake, a pristine alpine lake at 9600' elevation. The Beckwith Peaks are in the background. If you paddle across the lake (SUP or kayak - no motorized water craft) you get a stunning view of the Ruby Range. (No Ruby Range photos since I didn't bring my waterproof phone case this trip). The lake is dammed and is filled with snow runoff. Even in midJuly, the water was COLD. No chance in h e l l I was going to let myself fall off that SUP! But midJuly was prime time for the wild flowers. Lupine. Queen Anne's lace. Wild rose. Pentsemon. Sneeze weed. Cow parsnip. Fire weed. Absolutely stunning. I'm told the lake is stocked twice annually with rainbow trout. But I don't fish so can't verify. I did see lots of fishermen though.

    This campground was relatively easy to access, on a gravel road well-maintained. The camping spaces…read morewere not too crowded in on each other, and plenty of trees for shade. There are picnic areas with grills, bathrooms, and access to the lake for recreation. Plenty of trails for hiking by foot, or with horses. This place makes for a great one-day or multi-day visit.

    This was my first stop when I arrived at Twin lakes, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a forest…read moreservice employee on site actively talking to visitors and answering questions they might have about the location. He was very friendly and polite and had a lot of information to share. From the parking area there are several paths that can be taking to either scale the small hill leading to a half dozen picnic tables and park grills, or that lead down to the shoreline. The grills seemed to be moderately maintained with a couple of them overflowing with charred debris, but the tables looked to be maintained fairly well. The best viewing spot was at the crest of the hill which let you see out over the entire lake and into the small valley leading to the adjoining lake. There is also a small boat ramp with its own parking area separate from the campground area that is obscured from view helping with the seclusion of the campground. The actual grounds in the non parking area are completely natural and unaltered being left up to natures choices, which is mostly covered in rocks and sparse patches of high mountain grasses. Also at the parking entrance is a small building with restrooms, that are mildly maintained and cleaned, although they were adequate for a camping environment. Overall, this is a nice little camping area with access to some incredible lake views, park grills, and fishing locations.

For only $17.00 per night ($8.50 if you have an interagency access pass), the campground has potable water, vaulted toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. There is a boat launch, and the one or two boats we've seen throughout our stays seem to have the pristine lake all to themselves. Our first overnight stay was a new moon, and the Milky Way and the sheer amount of stars was captivating -- and waking up that next morning and opening our tent to the sun rising over the lake and the mountains... well, it doesn't get much better than that. Make sure you grab whatever you'll need before you arrive. The nearest towns with services are Leadville, Buena Vista, or Aspen -- a minimum of 20 miles away. This campground is truly a hidden gem.

Not all the sites would accommodate this larger a rig except for the motorhome sites at the front, which during the time we were renting was not allowed for fifth wheels. We have no problem with the other site that they put it now just be aware ! The owners are sooo kind. I had a work package mailed there by mistake and they didn't mind and held it for me! Yes, they do have a lot of signs about where your pet can and cannot go, I would say if you plan on having your dog run around this is not the place for you. But they have plenty of spots to go potty, and they're conveniently located across the street from a beautiful trail! Your dog will love walking on that, instead!! We really enjoyed our stay, would come back

    Not Exactly "Paradise" We've been on the road for 6 weeks…read moreand were looking forward to a relaxing stay near Crested Butte - a town known for being dog-friendly. Unfortunately, this RV park didn't match the vibe at all. For a place labeled as a resort, it's located in an industrial park and bombarded with "NO" signs - no this, no that - which set a very negative tone from the start. Surprisingly, the owner also runs a dog grooming business, but the park itself didn't feel welcoming to dog owners. That was a real letdown. The positives: the views are great, and each site has water and electric hookups. However, there's no on-site sewer -- you'll need to go into town to dump. There's just one bathroom and shower per gender, though they were clean and well-kept. Overall, it's adequate if you're just looking for a place to park in a beautiful area. But for dog owners or anyone looking for a truly friendly, "resort-like" experience - you might want to keep looking.

    I didn't have the highest expectations going into our trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National…read morePark. I didn't know too much about the park and was a bit disappointed that we had to nix the plans to do our large hike in the North Rim of the park. That being said, BCGNP far surpassed all expectations on just our very first overlook - Tomichi Point - within minutes of driving into the South Rim. I was not prepared for the sheer beauty of the canyons. The South Rim is so very different from the North Rim, so if you only have time to go to one, make sure to do your research. The South Rim is much more developed, more popular, has plenty of tiny hikes and overlooks, and brings the easy, classic beauty. The South Rim drive is an easy 7 miles and features 12 overlooks with the longest hike to the overlook being about 0.5 of a mile. And most of the hikes are more like walks. Stunning views, perfect for sunset. You'll also find the BCGNP visitor center on the South Rim drive. The North Rim is much more underdeveloped and less visited. We visited in the late afternoon and only ran into one other group of people while driving their scenic North Rim drive. I believe it's about 4.5 miles, and it is unpaved - that being said, we drove it in a Toyota Corolla without any issues. These overlooks are equally gorgeous but give you a different perspective of the canyon. You'll find a lot of the bigger hikes in the North Rim. While we weren't able to fit one into our schedule, we did do part of the North Vista Trail to see Exclamation Point - wonderful hike, wish we had been able to do the full trail. Overall, I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison, but it definitely wasn't how breathtakingly beautiful this park is. 100% worth a stop, and if all you do is stop at their overlooks, you will still get to experience so much beauty.

    First, we enjoyed our stay. The KOA recommended this place for our needs. If we could give 4-1/2…read morestars, we would. I'll detail the pros and semi-cons (there aren't any big cons). Pros: 1. The staff is very friendly and helpful. 2. We'd been concerned with the name of the place that it might be filled with political signs (there is a park in Creede that is filled with hateful signage and it was scary, frankly) But there was no evidence of anything political, and everyone we met was nice. 3. We only needed water and electric hookups. They have a few spots like this, which were cheaper and the woman I made the reservation with advised me to wait to come by a few days to save money. The spot was pretty darned flat and, though close to others, worked just fine 4. The spots are shady. Lots of trees. 5. We don't have a dog, but the place is dog-friendly, and people pick up after their dogs well. 6. The women's bathroom was pretty darned clean. One evening there was hair on the shower drain, but they clean in the morning, so no issue. Semi-Cons: 1. The men's bathroom apparently wasn't as well maintained as the women's while we were there. They have 3 shower stalls for the men and just 2 for the women. Two of the men's shower stalls had broken hooks, and one was completely missing a shower head. My husband made due, and I reported the issue to the desk, so hopefully this gets addressed with whoever maintains the men's side. 2. It was extremely muddy when we were there, so we had to watch where we stepped and drove. It would be good if they would replenish the gravel in those areas during conditions like this with monsoon rains. 3. We had two nights with a couple near us running their A/C all night which was annoying. Especially since it was cold outside, like around 40 degrees! They could just open a window? But there's no rule against this. Maybe the noise rule could be expanded on colder nights to cover A/C when not needed? 4. We think blackbirds or woodpeckers ran over our roof every morning and evening for periods, waking us up. No one seemed to know what this was about, and I don't expect them to do anything about it, it was just scary when it first happened and we didn't know what it was. Weird. That's never happened to us before. So, if you hear tiny running sounds while you camp, it might be these ornery birds! :-) 5. The wifi was spotty. I was able to get on a Zoom, but it was a little wonky and on our phones, it was out as much as it was on. Most RV places have this issue, but the other reviews led us to believe theirs was better. Also, not theirs to fix, but AT&T sucks in this area. Better if you have Verizon or T-Mobile from what the office told me. 6. They have a cowboy statue outside the office and they place a radio thingy on it that plays country music all day when the office is open. I used to work in country radio so it doesn't really bother me, but it might bother others, so recommend maybe not playing the radio and let the campers choose what they want to listen to? So, you see, not much in the way of cons. We would go back if they'll have us. Their intent is good.
