This tiny campground along the Cache la Poudre River is nice enough but it's right next to Highway 14 - I mean, about 200' away. We were there on a week night and whereas the traffic did get quieter once it got dark, we were aware of every car and truck that drove by. Vault toilets and water from a hand pump.

Loved this campsite so we came a second time and reserved site #4, it was perfect right next to the river and close to the restroom which is pretty clean!

Campsite was clean and the camp host was nice and informative. We had a great time being so close to the river.

The rushing water makes an excellent white noise machine to both block out the neighboring campers and to put you to sleep!
