Es un lugar muy tranquilo para pasar unos días realmente relajados

Great campground located about 4 miles from Aspen, surrounded by forests and mountains. Most sites have nice privacy and shade. Amenities include pit toilets, trash and water. Arrived back to camp at night one night and saw a moose right outside the campground. Beautiful spot, very peaceful, would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay here! The drop toilets were well maintained. It was funny: they didn’t smell in the actual bathroom, but walking up they did. The camp sites were very private, the river running through made for a pleasant experience. The sites were a bit small for our larger group, even though we had 2 sites for 9 people. No service at the sites which was nice. Good size bear boxes. Camp hosts were very nice. Be sure to bring cash if you need to buy wood there! Conveniently located close to Aspen, but there weren’t any hikes we did straight from the campground.

Bigger sites with more flat area to put up tents would’ve made us give it 5 stars for a campground. We would not have been able to fit 10 people per site (as the reservation said)

Convenient location near Aspen. Good tent sites. Easy to find. Motorcycle friendly parking.
For the price though, no showers and water tap out of order kind of sucked.

Amazing and beautiful zone! Pretty spectacular and a plethora of outdoor activities.

Campground is clean and quiet, and all you could want. With one exception, a real bad bear.

I am well seasoned camper and used to bears being around. I have seen many dozen bears over the years, and they want nothing to do with people. But over a few decades, I have had a couple of bears that are rogue. Not afraid and able to get human food non- stop. I hate it for this animal as its fate is short.

Having a fed bear repeating its presence and being successful at acquiring human food is a mistake on NFS management. Please help and make this area a 5 star campground again.

Beautiful campground covered in aspen trees. Host was helpful and friendly. We did encounter a moose during our camp trip but overall really enjoyed our stay

Loved this campground! Water was running. Was nervous about the bear situation since we camped with our kids and dog but be smart and you won't have a problem. Can't wait to come back!

Huge amount of space, very private, 10 minutes to Aspen. No showers / bathrooms, basic toilets but it’s nothing unusual. Overall a perfect camping place.
