The campground is one mile from beautiful Turquoise Lake. That is the nice part. Needs extensive repair. Before booking, make sure your site is not a mud hole. Only concrete runners on a few sites. Will not hold a 35 footer or larger. Needs upgrading drastically. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made a big mistake camping here, it is the only one available but not worth the time or the money. The owners are ill and unable to manage this big place any longer. Way over priced. They need to sell it and get a make over. The city of Leadville is a nice stop over and they have a wonderful 11 mile bike/run loop through the old mining area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overall a pleasant camping experience. They offer all what you would expect at a campground. We camped here in a Tent.

I agree with previous reviewers that this campground has an overall run-down and shabby appearance. It’s too bad, because it is in a wonderful location with mountain views and lots of trees. Because it’s several miles away from Route 24 in Leadville, it is very quiet. The grounds are unkempt and not maintained. Tall grass and weeds are everywhere, as are potholes that quickly fill with water when it rains, which it did while we were there. We had to dodge muddy water just coming out of our door. The mud is tracked into the restrooms. We did not check out the laundry or showers. The campground lacks amenities such as 50 amp, Cable TV or WiFi. Because our Sprint Broadband card did not work there, we had no access to the Internet, which was very frustrating. The owner has several DSL connections installed in the dingy rec room, but we were unable to get it to work with either of our two computers. There was no one available to assist you. The owner apparently isn’t interested in installing what most of us wants, which is WiFi so we can work on our computers at our sites. Two of the days we spent at the campground were during the Labor Day weekend. The park was packed with local people, many in tent trailers and tents, who partied outdoors and were very noisy. The nightly rate was much too high for what you get. We would not return and we do not recommend this park. Unfortunately, it is the only private campground in Leadville. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

After reading the excellent reviews on this site, we made an online reservation for three nights (we didn't receive a confirmation but had to call for one). Upon arriving and paying for three nights, we were assigned a different site than we had originally been given. We were escorted to the new site - a corner back-in site between a motorhome and tent - and discovered a large tree growing alongside the site that would have severely scratched our aluminum Airstream had we tried to back in. We asked the young lady who escorted us to the site if she could check to see if any other sites were available. She said she would and drove off in a golf cart. After waiting over ten minutes for her to return, we proceeded back to the office, where she rudely told us we should have tried to back in anyway, there were no other sites available (even though the campground was about 60% full), and that she had not intended to come back to tell us that. We explained that if they could not accommodate our rig, we would be happy to get a refund and make other plans. Another employee then claimed that the site would accommodate us; we explained we measured it, found the new clearcoat on the Airstream would be severely scratched if we tried to back in, and we would be happy to have a refund and move on if they didn't have any other sites available. To make a long story short, she refused to refund all three nights - keeping the first night's fee - and was very rude, explaining she couldn't make any decisions without the owner. The customer service was the absolute worst we've ever experienced. Another guest in the office at the same time told me outside he had a similar experience and that experiences like that were common there but that there was little choice in the Leadville area so one had to live with it. We didn't and moved on to Breckenridge. On top of that, the place looked really, really run down. Weeds were growing everywhere; the sites were uneven, overgrown, and shoddy; the women's bathroom (checked while we were waiting) had mud tracked all through it and was generally dingy. Overall, it was a highly aggravating experience at a depressing place, and we reached the point where we just wanted to get out of that place whether our money was refunded or not. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very busy campground on weekends when it practically fills up. We had a problem with low-voltage at our site when the campground was full. During the week the campground empties out and is seldom more than half full. It is located less than a mile from the Turquoise Lake Recreation area and hiking and biking opportunities are abundant. Leadville is about 4-miles away. Most of the sites are quite close together but since the campground is only full on the weekend it is not too bad. Views from the campground are spectacular. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Don't know what's happening here, this is our third year and the park is looking shabby, tall grass and weeds, basically unkempt. Staff still friendly, location good if you get on the outer edge, big field to run the animals, reasonably quiet. Visually, it needs help to keep it from looking cheap. Probably won't be back until I see a positive report on the improved appearance from someone else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great campground. It can be a little muddy in wet weather, but its still nice. Bath houses are heated and clean. Staff is friendly and willing to help. They gave us some great advice on where to fish. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campground. Plenty of trees and a great area. Did have one problem with electrical though. Whenever we would plug in our pop-up to the 15A power it would trip the circuit breaker. Our friend camping next to us tried to plug into the same outlet with the same result. Talked to the office people and they said they would not be able to fix it at that time as they would have to shut down power to a whole row of sites. This would not have been feasible as the campground was packed (this was during Leadville's Boom Days celebration). They did let us borrow the necessary hardware (adapters and splitters) so both my and my friends pop-up could plug into the same 30A outlet. Staff was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Wonderful campground, staff friendly, grounds kept clean, even had the trash pick-up on the 4th of July. Access is great for big rigs. We have a 40ft Bus Conversion and had no problems at all getting in and out of the campground. We stayed for the 4th of July weekend and Leadville is small town America with 4th of July events, parada, ice cream social at the Fire Dept, fireworks in the evening. Turquoise Lake is just up the road from the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground with nice views. Turquoise Lake is about 2 miles away. Golf course is just down the street. They say it is the highest golf course in the U.S. This camp is about 3 miles outside of Leadville. Some sites had nice concrete pads to park on. Very nice pet walk area. We were in a 35 ft. motorhome. We had plenty of room, but be sure and let them know what room you need. Many sites would not accmmodate a large rig. We were looking for a place with cool temps in July to escape our heat in the south and found it here. We had to run the heater a couple of nights. We were able to visit Breckenridge, Aspen, Vail and do many off road drives in the area. There are a couple of free trout lakes closeby. We really liked it here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground in an incredibly beautiful area of Colorado. Excellent views of the mountains around Leadville. Good paved interior roads and nicely laid out campground, with good sites for big rigs, tenters, and everyone in between. Very nice, clean restrooms in two buildings, very well maintained. Away from town, so lots of peace and quiet, but easy to get into town. At over 10,000ft you can be guaranteed a cold night, even in the middle of summer, but that's part of the charm of the Leadville area. Only thing missing here is a swimming pool! Very nice owners and staff, with the usual ice cream socials in the evening -- and they don't skimp on the ice cream! Incredible hiking and fishing available in the Leadville area, as well as 4-wheeling. We camped here in a 2000` .
