Reviews

San Juan National Forest campgrounds are widely praised for their clean, well-maintained facilities, friendly and helpful camp hosts, and beautiful natural surroundings. The sites are often spacious and private, with good access to hiking trails, lakes, rivers, and outdoor activities, offering a peaceful and scenic camping experience. Common issues include rough or narrow access roads, limited amenities such as showers, electrical hookups, and dump stations, spotty cell service, mosquito presence especially in summer, occasional noise disturbances, and some site-specific challenges like uneven terrain or limited shade.

We camped here before going to Ice Lake to hike. It's a bit too far for me to recommend, try the first come first serve camping at Ice Lake instead.

John the camp host is the best. He keeps the place and bathrooms nice and clean. If there is anything bad weather coming he will keep you informed.

Nice location by the lake. Could not access lake, but could walk to lake with nearby trails. The toilets have been replaced with brand new compost toilets so it was very clean and great to have it be compost rather than standard pit toilets. Level deep site.

Site 44 is listed as lakefront, but it is not. It is across the road and a short hike through the woods. It is beautiful but I paid extra believing it was lakefront.

We loved camping there and the host! Missed the trees that were cut down.
