Our four-day stay in this beautiful, clean state park was pleasant, with its easy entry and exit points. However, the location of your campsite plays a significant role in the experience. A waterfront site would likely offer a fantastic experience, but if you are unable to secure one, it might be more cost-effective to look elsewhere. Our campsite was not waterfront, and although it was only a five-minute walk to the water, it did not justify the $38 nightly fee, which included a $10 daily park pass. The park itself was lovely, but I wished for more beach access. The available areas were quite small and not ideal for lounging by the lake. We did not spot any moose or elk during our visit, perhaps due to the warmth, but we did see deer and numerous hummingbirds. If I were to revisit this area, I would likely choose a campsite along the river on HWY 14, considering the cost. It's worth noting that the vendor who previously managed the park seems to have lost his contract due to a dispute with the state, as indicated on the state park's page. Consequently, there are no longer shower facilities, and the general store that was once by the road is now closed. However, the RV dump stations remain operational, which is a plus.

It's well worth the drive through the park. Awesome places to camp, beautiful scenery, and lots of fun looking for deer, elk, and especially Moose. Make sure u have a good four wheel drive vehicle, so u can drive up some of the rugged roads. Well worth the trip. aspens beautiful during fall State Forest State Park 56750 Highway 14 Walden CO 80480 Phone Number: Information: (970)723-8366

We spent one night here while traveling in our 30 ft RV, but wished we would have stayed longer. Our reservation for a lakeside spot, #245 was made well in advance, and although the access road was dirt and dusty it led to great mountain and lake views. We were in a section with only a few spots and it was very quiet. Deer and Moose were seen from our campsite there are a few trails to walk or roads to explore. This was great dry camping with no cell service and no hookups. Vault style toilets were clean, and I would highly recommend this campground or the adjacent ones to those who enjoy nature and dry camping. One Note: the dump station is located in another campground that is near the entrance to the State Park, but was not operational and under construction when we were there 6/2022.

We were thankful to get a site at 4pm in July on a Thurs but it’s just ok here as it’s a bit rough and small sites even for our 17’ trailer. Other campgrounds like Sugarloaf and Brookfield were full.

Up a very well maintained FS 100 road this is a really nice campground We were able to stay in the host site right along the creek Host may not report until first of July??? There were 5 other sites occupied Enough trees for privacy but open enough for great solar gain on my panels and clear view of northern sky for Starlink dishy. Was also able to use T-Mobile but it indicated 3G so I assume it was in roaming mode —plans are always changing but could be data caps while in roaming mode All sites appeared to be pretty level
