(Our sewer connection is center trailer so backing up to get it level & to flow would have put us in the driveway.) After trying to remedy ourselves called at 9:15 pm to see if we could move sites, owner came to the site angry, said we were disrespectful for calling late so "I don't have to be respectful," told us we had to leave 9 am the next day & would refund our money for our "executive" site. Totally took us by surprise. We are an elderly couple (64/74) so it really stressed us out. Owner not flexible. He was on the verge of rude when we called prior to booking about site availability and if there was smoke from the fires. Should have been our sign to stay away! Amenities are great but very limited shade for sites and a lot of the sewer hookups run uphill/not level. Horrible cancel policy! Just don't go. There's a great campsite across the street and they are FRIENDLY & accommodating!

Far and away, one of the better camping arrangements we had on our 2,000 miles thus far... $18 tent site, free showers, wifi, coffee and tea, as well as honor system soda and ice in a common room, great value and super nice owners - highly recommended if you're passing through. Close to the Great Dunes and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, to name a couple. :)

I'm not sure where the money goes This campground earns because they sure don't put it into the upkeep of their grounds. Deteriorating picnic tables, burned out campfire rings, dirty exterior of cabins, broken patio furniture, dock with uneven curling boards, dog poop everywhere along the river.... the bridge crossing over to the tent side of the campground seemed to be stable. And several mornings there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, also not sure why you would want to carpet a campground bathroom, but there is carpet . Highway 50 runs right next to the campground so you hear traffic, the river is beautiful and clean. I would seek another campground in the area before I stayed at Sweetwater again

I will admit I was a little bit worried about this campsite because of the reviews complaining…read moreabout noise and privacy. But I booked it anyway because it was right across the street from the white water rafting company we booked a trip with. It was honestly much better than I was expecting. It was a lovely, clean campsite with a really nice bathhouse with bathrooms, showers and laundry. Definitely not a wilderness camping experience but great for families. We booked campsite #1 and we felt like it was a really great spot. One of the bigger ones for sure. The cons were the bathrooms being REALLY far away (we drove up to them most of the time) yet definitely not enough privacy to "go" outside. There was a helicopter across the street and bar with live music but we couldn't really hear either at night where our camp was so it didn't bother us. PS the food at the bar and grill is AMAZING. One thing to keep in mind is that there are very few trees or shade and temperatures were in the high 90's early 100's this past weekend so it was a little brutal. But overall we had a great time and I thought it was a really nice commercial campground. The kids had a blast. The glamping tents looked awesome. However minus one star for Amanda at the front desk who was incredibly, openly rude and nasty to my husband for NO reason (he is the nicest person ever). He is rarely ever bothered by rudeness and it really put him (and so, us) in a bad head space on arrival. She needs some serious customer service re-training. HOWEVER, all the other staff members we encountered were wonderful and made up for her foulness.

This place is fantastic. It deserves 3.75 stars. The service, amenities, view and cleanliness are…read moreoutstanding. The toilets are clean, 2 stalls in each men's and women's bathrooms and sink with soap and warm water. Showers are split up the same way and connects to a laundry facility. All very clean. You can take 5 min warm showers and the tent came with a nice set of towels, wash cloths, soaps, lotion and a bag of ice. I traded the ice for credit to the fire wood since it was SO cold. It was a decent 63 during the day and 44 at night. The cons? The camp sites are SUPER close together so it forced interaction with other people 10 feet away. I wanted more privacy and isolation as did others around me, so that was awkward. Also, it's noisy. It's across the street from the helicopter tours AND the highway. There was pretty much traffic noise the entire time and also campers coming and going at all hours shining headlights into the tent and being loud. I was woken up a bunch and it was hard to sleep. I can tell that the shed with bed is quieter and probably warmer. The multi floor condos look nice too but again really close together. I think if you set your expectations before you get here you can have a nice time. They need to put in some tall plants between the units or something to break it up and add privacy.

Roughly about 30 spots. ++ It's FREE! Always a plus when camping. ++ The campsites are actually REALLY spaced out. We couldn't even see another spot from ours! ++ There's access to several hikes and Mt. Princeton Hot Springs is right up the road. CONs: -- While there are a lot of trees, there's isn't much shade. -- Campsites near the creek were pretty rocky and small. Not the best for a large group. Brown's Creek is def an area that we'll keep in mind for future camping trips and hiking adventures! Love that camping life! **Pro Tip: If you're planning on heading up over a holiday weekend make sure you get there early. We went up the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend and the sites were already pretty picked over.

Once you make that left from US-64 you have about a 3 mile drive up a dirt road and from there you will see the parking lot to the right. The trailhead is easily marked making it almost impossible to miss (#664). The parking lot is fairly small and heavily trafficked so I'd recommend arriving earlier the better. 5 miles down and back. The first mile is mainly switchbacks but smoothes out the remainder of the hike. The aspens showed off their vibrant yellow colors which made the hike that much more enjoyable. The weather can change drastically especially when you make it to the top. It was raining and pretty windy when i got up there so a jacket is highly recommended. As well as good hiking boots as you experience different types of terrain, particularly at the top where it's mainly rocks. There are bathrooms at the trailhead parking lot which is extremely convenient. Especially for my hour drive trek back home to Colorado Springs. Give this hike a go!

My family and I have been camping up here many times and again most recently. I love this campground because: ++ The host (and family) is beyond friendly, super accommodating, generous, always has a smile on his face and is quite the talker. He and his wife come up each summer to run the joint, and as a result, they have made many friends, and have a great energy about them. ++ Bathrooms! Yes, I will admit I am more of a "glamper" - meaning I'm okay to not pee in the woods. With restrooms located throughout the two-loop campground, I can do my business in peace. The facilities are well equipped with toiletries, air fresheners and isn't too bad for a toilet that doesn't flush! ++ Loop one features LARGE campsites perfect for tents and trailers, are close to the roaring water, and provide so much shade! Loop two, is closer to the camp host, main road to town and provides less shade, but is just as nice! Sites are well maintained, clean and provide plenty of room to spread out. ++ Fires are allowed! With fire bans throughout the state, it's nice to have the ability to have a contained fire in the pit. We roasted marshmallows, cooked steaks and spent ample time talking, singing and staring at the stars. It's not truly camping, without a fire! ++ Firewood delivery! The hosts granddaughter (who is all of 10 years old), makes a point to deliver firewood to anyone that requests and pays for the three-pack minimum - all for $20, plus a few buck tip for the delivery! ;) ++ Views for dayyyyyssssss! Overlooking the twin lakes that the town was named after, and just at the base of Mt Elbert - it's hard to go wrong with a view that great! ++ Just a short 2 1/2 hour drive from Denver, 20 minutes from downtown Leadville, and 2 minutes from Twin Lakes! --No reservations are allowed - meaning this place fills up FAST as it is a first come, first serve basis. Previously when camping here, we were able to come up Friday morning to grab a killer spot. With its popularity increasing, now one must come up earlier in the week (like Wednesday!) to get a spot. We were lucky to snag the LAST spot in loop two. --For $22/night, I found this to be a bit steep for an overnight price. --Less privacy in loop two! Our little site was a bit small for the four of us, and the only decently flat and shaded place for our tent was awfully close to our neighbors. Despite the few downsides, I know we'll continue to summer camp at Parry Peak!
