Stunning scenery from this spread-out camping area. Spent time here in a tent during July 2015. Breath-taking sight of the lake and hills right from our tent entrance and location. Clearly, there were no electricity or facilities.

This lake is gorgeous and worth the cost. My issue is that I predominantly stayed here to get a hot shower after a 6-day backpacking trip. The problem is the showers are pay showers (currently $5 for 4 minutes). I don't have an issue paying for a shower but when the campsite is $40/night you would think that includes a shower. These aren't powered sites and they don't have water hookups. You are paying for the scenery and honestly, there are tons of free boondocking sites nearby that are nearly as beautiful. The biggest issue is that the showers are token only and you can only get the tokens during office hours. After 6-days on the trail, my wife and I arrived half an hour after the office closed so we had to wait another day to get our overpriced showers. After 6-days we needed more than 4-minutes! Add $20 (for 2) to the nightly fee for this campsite and $60 is a bit outrageous for a parking spot even if it is gorgeous. Another oddity is that the toilets are all pit. That is okay but once again the campground doesn't stock the toilets instead the office issues you a roll of TP when you arrive. If you arrive after hours you had better have your own. Again this in my opinion is a ridiculous way to run a campground when you are charging $40/night.

There are a total of 8 sites here: 1 pull through that has 2 sites, several could accommodate my 34' fifth wheel, most are either for vans or tent camping. We stayed 6/28/22 - 7/11/22. The elevation is about 10,300 ft. There is a restroom, otherwise disperse camping with no amenities. Free!

We camped at Molas Lake in August of 2020. Long story short, this is a great campsite. I usually don't pay for campgrounds but I really wanted to stay at this lake and honestly, it was worth it. You're paying for staying right on the lake, bathrooms and shower facilities, kayak and SUP rentals, and a really well maintained campground. I brought my old 2WD truck and pop up camper and we had no issues getting in. Probably the most memorable part of the trip was watching a bald eagle swoop across the lake and land in a tree right above my head. Amazing. Some cons that I noticed, but were not serious enough for me to detract a star. You are right off Highway 550 so you will hear truckers and big rigs going by, but I maybe noticed the noise twice while we were there so again not a big deal. Also, some of the campsites are fairly close to each other. All of our neighbors were friendly and respectful, but I could imagine that may be a detractor for some. There is a full campsite map on their website, so if this may be an issue for you, I would recommend booking a campsite on the far side of the lake. You might be slightly (stressing slightly here) further away from the lake, but those campsites are tucked into the tree line so you'll have more privacy. I have AT&T and did not have a cell phone reception.
