We were heading from Denver, Colorado over to Telluride, Colorado and randomly picked this campground. We stayed a total of five nights and found plenty to do with exploring cottonwood pass, shore fishing at nearby Taylor Reservoir ( we caught quite a few), and enjoying a hike near the campground. The facilities were extremely clean. Although we did not have cell service at the campsite, it was a short drive up to the reservoir to get adequate service.

We have been camping at Lottis Campground over Labor Day weekend for the last 5 years. Out of all the camping we do in Colorado, it is our favorite. The host is always onsite, very friendly, and available to help with anything you might need. The bathrooms are cleaned daily, and well stocked with toilet paper. We look forward to more visits in the future.
