Just checked, reservations are now required, and the camping fee is $25.00 per night.

We stayed over towards the dock with front row seats to the sunset over the water. Just be warned, it’s a double edged sword because the closer you are to the water, the worse the mosquitoes are.

Just be warned, it’s a double edged sword because the closer you are to the water, the worse the mosquitoes are. We hid out behind our screens every night.
They have lots of dumpsters for trash which is great.
If you’re headed west towards Rifle from here, just know you’ll be on dirt roads on steep grades for 30+ miles. Low experienced big rig operators should be weary.
Only thing that was disappointing was StarLink was not very happy at this location. This degraded our work days slightly.

Excellent power utility reservoir campground. Dry camping with fire ring and picnic table at each site, a few clean pit toilets, a dump station (no water), and a boat launch.
Was informed by the camp host that they will be charging $18-22 a night to stay, starting 2024.

One of my only problems here isn’t with the campsite, WHEN did everyone around just start ignoring the (very few) rules? Dogs running amok. I lost count of the big dogs and one I would consider a menace that was guarding the bathroom door like it was his only bone. All off leash,crapping where you can drag your kayak through it... more

WHEN did everyone around just start ignoring the (very few) rules?
Dogs running amok. I lost count of the big dogs and one I would consider a menace that was guarding the bathroom door like it was his only bone. All off leash,crapping where you can drag your kayak through it.
Music and generator noise at all times of night.
Full fire BAN except for the 5 sites who didn’t have to follow the rules. (LAW)
On the east side 0 signal.
Now to the west side.
A lot more secluded
Useable signal
So much nicer.
There is a free dump on the east side and trash receptacles all around.
Close to granby
Close to kremmling.
The west side saved this dispersed site. So much nicer.

We stayed July 14-16 2021. Our campsite was right on the water. Although the signs say no swimming one of the other campers said that the gentleman who patrols the lake told him that they now allow swimming up to your neck. The kids swam and we kayaked all over the lake and had a great time!
The mosquitoes were super friendly and loved us.
Some of the campsites were pretty uneven. Also you are not supposed to leave your campsite unattended more than 24 hrs but there were a few unattended campers parked there in the best campsites for a couple of days.
Verizon signal was great in some areas and not so good in others.
We loved the are a would definitely stay there again.

Based on prior reviews we had to give this place a visit and so glad we did. We arrived at what I think is the East entrance that has access to the boat ramp. It seems that every site has a picnic table and fire ring and are pull thru sites. The vault toilets were very clean for both M/F. The lake is supposed to contact free meaning no swimming but saw a few folks in the water buy fishing is allowed. Boat ramp doesnt open until 8am but never heard noise from the outboard. The area was well kept and only found a few pieces of trash and no broken glass anywhere. We hope to try the sites on the other side of the lake. Our Tmobile with a Weboost couldn't pick up a signal for data bit we had phone and text. We highly recommend this spot.

Woke up to this stunning view. We pulled in late at night after taking a few detours around the Medicine Now Forest fire.
The campsites have fire rings, trash cans, vault toilets, and decent Verizon cell service. Plenty of room for big rigs and tent camping. Didn't cost us a penny 💸
The site wasn't terribly busy despite being the weekend, but it was a bit chilly with some high winds. We will definitely be back 😍

There is an east unit campground on Williams Fork Reservoir. I can't figure out how to add it. You can see it on satellite view. It's more convenient to the highway and probably has fewer bugs and better sunsets. Still no water.
