We tow a 27 foot TT. Are there campsites that would accommodate that size? Also, how was the entrance road surface...

Turtle Rock campground is a nice place to stay the only problem I had was the noise and the dirt they're letting the four wheelers come into the campsites says no four wheelers at the gate but they let them in anyway several would come by my campsite at one time following each other the four-wheeler trail goes right by the campsite as well so you have that noise the nights we're very quiet till about 7:00 in the morning just was not for me definitely. the host was a very nice man

If you were a truck or trailer this might not be the place for you.
We are 55 overall length truck and trailer and there were no spots that were level that we could get into without dropping and completely unlevel. If you're coming in with a van or a camper you may have good luck.

Restrooms are clean , no trash at all and it is very quiet here with only a generator here and there but are all quiet . Night sky and views from top of turtle rock are pretty amazing . Definitely a little rough road in but take it slow and all is well . Happy camping !!

Lots of hiking and bike trails around this area, and if you have any kind of of off road vehicle you’ll have the absolute time of your life.
2 pit toilets, one at the bottom of the hill when you first turn onto the dirt road, the other one is in the camping area that the GPS will take you. Tons of spots in this area.
We were there over the Fourth of July weekend and it wasn’t as packed as I expected it to be. Lots of people there for a night maybe two, but we had a nice neighbor that was there the whole time we were.
Cell signal spotty for Verizon (between one and three bars, but honestly it felt like a consistent half a bar) unless you hike around the big rock then you’re good to go. Definitely recommend!

We stopped here on our way between Colorado Springs and Aspen. Nice spot for 1 night.
Road is real pot holed, but manageable at a slow speed.
Most of the spots don’t have shade, so be prepared if it’s hot.
Bathrooms were decently clean, just a small bit of trash on the floor.
Very close to town, so an easy stop.

I stayed here in late Sept 2020. The temps were just beginning to drop. Cool temps overnight, but very comfortable days. There are 22 sites and 2 vault toilets. The camping area road is a loop, with a couple spurs to tent camping. The roads are not wide enough for two RVs to pass in opposite directions, so go right around the loop.
Turtle Rock is a large solid rock which blocks the line of sight of cell towers. I am currently testing the 4 major cell phone providers. Verizon was fine at my spot 15, but the others were poor. Now, if you were willing to take a daily walk, just to the left of turtle rock, there is a path that allows you to clear the large rock. In this clearing, you can see the road and river below and you now have line of sight with the towers. All services worked here, but only Verizon worked well in camp (AT&T was ok in camp).
If you would like some visual details of the area, you can check out my Turtle Rock video on YouTube:

This is part of the Fourmile dispersed camping area. It would seem the entire place is huge. How the big rock is a turtle beats me. There are toilets there now. No difficult to find a nice level camp spot. I had zero T-Mobile reception. Absolutely nothing. That is why I moved today otherwise I would have stayed for 14 days. Soon as I left the camp ground the signal popped up no problem. I am not a hiker / climber etc I am a nomad so this was just somewhere to park for free. No signal means no dice.

We arrived late in the day on our way to Leadville. Great spot for one night, I wouldn't want to stay any longer. We did just stay in the front parking lot because it was late in the day. ATVs going by at 3 am.
