The whole campground is located on an access road to offroading, trailheads, etc. further up the road. This road and it's proximity to the Boulder front range results in a semi-continuous stream of vehicles passing through within ~10 feet of a tent/trailer. The noise pollution generated is impactful and leave little distinction between camping at this campground and camping on the shoulder of a busy highway. Beyond the noise pollution, the sites are fully exposed to the sun with no natural shade which can make your stay uncomfortably hot during peak sun hours. During my stay, the potable water source was unavailable due to repair/malfunction.
