Aspen Campground (CO)

Nice little campground, very quiet. #7 and #3 offer the most privacy, a good amount of space between the sites. The bathrooms are close enough to any of the sites. The bathrooms were pretty good, only started smelling by the end of the weekend.

Beautiful area, and a very large camping spot (#3). The tent pad, fire ring and the RV pull-in were perfectly level. Enough room to turn around with a small trailer, but plenty of room to back in a very large one, too. Good privacy, but no shade at this spot, so we used a canopy. Worked well for solar charging. Had some mosquitos, especially the first night. The spot is right near a marsh. We could hear the river, but did not try going through the marsh to get to it. The sound of the river also helped provide privacy, and drown out any noise from nearby sites. The drive up (through Ft. Collins, along Cache La Poudre river) was picturesque, and an easy climb for our under-powered rig. My buddy had a rough time coming up a different way. Some corners were almost too tight for his Explorer, and the road was very rough and narrow. He was not towing anything, but he said there was no way you could get a camper through that. Spots 1 and 2 are completely bare and open. Worked fine for a large group, who did not need privacy and had canopies for shade. Spot 7 looked perfect. Not too small, and lots of shade. Spot 5 was a bit small, but also shaded. We did not use the public bathrooms (we had our camper), and I did not look. I did not notice any smell at all, walking by. Water pump needed some maintenance, but worked well enough. Water looked brown, and had some sediment, but one of the campers said it worked fine for coffee. Lots of downed wood nearby. Both pine and aspen. Was very dry and burned well. No host on site. My son found a fire still lit in a fire ring after the large group left. We drowned it out. The host must come by, though, because our site was in great shape. Cell phone signal was stable, with 1 or 2 bars of service on T-Mobile. Overall - we had a great time, and plan on coming back here again.

When we arrived someone was in our spot. Ended up driving home in the middle of the night with two kids. Tried to get a refund no one called me back. We had a Horrible experience unfortunately.
