Nice & quiet. Beaituful lake. A little off the beaten path, but perfect if you are trying to get away from zooming cars and other city sounds.

A very nice little lake and a quiet campground. Highly recommend visiting the Cramer Train Tunnel nearby and then pairing it with a beer at the Trestle Inn up the road, built out of an old trestle bridge! The trail around Benson Lake in George Manitou State Park is entirely boardwalk and very beautiful.

What a nice quiet peaceful campground!! It was nice having lake access for our kayaks. Bathrooms were nice and clean, but being it was a holiday weekend they ran out of toilet paper. Had grouse in our camp which was cool to watch. Will be back again!!

Campground was beautiful and quiet. Only 4 other campsites were in use when we were there. My only complaint is that the main garbage dumpster really needed to be emptied. Even though it is bear proof, it was really stinky and full.
