We love this campground. I did notice this year the outhouse had a smell which it never had before.

Excellent place! We were at a site away from the road, so the noise wasn’t too much. The sound of the river drowned it out! Great little walks, and close to Crested Butte for adventures and hiking. No bear box. Toilets were the best smelling and cleanest I’ve ever seen. Our camp host actually checked us in, kept site availability up to date daily, and cleaned the bathrooms daily! The sites are far enough between that I couldn’t hear any generators and only occasional barking or babies crying. There are paved walking paths down to the river with places to sit. We will be back!

Has three vault toilets, two potable water, bear proof trash. Right on the creek in the canyon but also right on the highway. Beautiful and was able to get some good dark sky on the moonless night we were there. Well maintained, nice little beach and swimming area but of course the water is ice melt cold. Quiet and well run by the camp host!

Rosy Lane has been in the hands of the most excellent campground hosts one could hope for-Tracy and Don-for the past several years. My hubby and I are sad to see them leave but happy they’ll still be having a positive impact on every person they meet and on our forest environment. Thank you Tracy and Don!

Great campground right on the river. We were closer to the highway so it could get a bit noisy but we slept fine. Bathrooms were clean and the camp host was way nice!
