What an awesome space for beginner back packers and kids. Had a great weekend playing hiking, run g and biking.
This is one of my favorite campgrounds in Jefferson County. The hike in is really easy-my son did it did it carrying all his own (ultralight) gear just before he turned 6.
There are bear boxes at the campground for your food, and the views from the trail are gorgeous. Also, you can't beat the price!
Great place for camping if you don't mind a mileish trip in. The trail is a little steep in a few places but it's smooth enough to take a stroller, wagon, and/or mountain bike with trailer if you can't quite commit to just a backpack. Firewood is provided although it's in large pieces so bring a hatchet, there are 4 composting toilets, and there is non potable water available. Also note hammocks are not allowed and they can fine you. The ranger said that's a rule common to all jeffco. A permit is required for camping.
