Rocky Ridge Campground

Rocky Ridge is one of the campgrounds for the 11 Mile State Park. The campground consists of several loops, two loops have electricity. There is no sewer or water hookups at any site.

Reservations for the vast majority of sites must be made online, you technically can't show up late after closing and take a site.

We paid $36/night for an electric site including the online reservation fee. In addition, campers are required to purchase a park pass at the entrance which is not included in the campground fee (unless you have an annual Colorado park pass). Passes are $8/day per vehicle - motorhomes with toads only count as one vehicle.

The loops are literally on a rocky ridge above the lake and most provide good views. There are also tent camping sites including walk-in sites. The facilities are basic - pit toilets in the loops but clean and well maintained.

Since the campground is on a hillside many sites are not flat and bigger rigs may not be able to be leveled. It's difficult to tell from the online reservation system which sites are actually flat and which are sloped.

There are few trees near most sites, so do not expect shade. Also, the location on a ridge at the edge of a vally means wind is common.

There is a lot to do in the area, especially for those interested in fishing and boating. The marina is very popular on the weekends.

Cell service is sporadic. Verizon had decent data connection. AT&T was either good or bad subject to micro-terrain and the quality of the modem. With AT&T's flagship Nighthawk M1 I got consistent 5-6Mbps but other AT&T devices were roaming or well below 1Mbps. A cellular booster did not help these devices. Sprint and T-Mobile were not tested.

We stayed at a free site off of 92 and CR 251. There are multiple spots available all along 92 if you are into boon docking. As the subject of this post mentions, it is really beautiful here. We stayed at the end of August and only experienced one rain/hail storm that actually closed Spinney Mountain Reservoir down for a couple days of flood clean up. We were camping higher up and didn't experience flooding. During this time of year the only annoyance was the yellow jackets that swarm around food like flies. They never stung us but they were all up in our face. No mosquito bites in our ground during our stay. At the site there was spotty Verizon and T-Mobile Coverage. I work while camping and had to drive down 92 until my phone grabbed an LTE signal. I would park there and work as needed. At Rocky Ridge Camp Ground the signals are spotty as well, but out on the water I got full LTE. Bottom line, beautiful place to camp but if you need to be online to work for a bit using your cell hot spot, you will need to move around a bit in your car to find an LTE signal. On a side note I did have two different cell boosters to try and neither one was able to boost my 3G to LTE at my site.

Decent State Park with access to fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and hiking. Shower and toilet facilities were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Camp sites were somewhat dusty due to lack of rain but were spacious in some loops. Very minimal shade at most of the RV sites. A couple loops have electric sites. No water or sewer hook-ups though. We stayed for 2 nights. 2-3 night stay recommended...after that, not much more to do/see. Marina has kayak and canoe rentals. We camped at Eleven Mile State Park - Rocky Ridge Campground in a Travel Trailer.
