Have used this station in previous years when camped around Twin Lakes, it was very convenient.
But checked on 08/28/2020, dump station gated and locked with a “closed” sign. Disappointing.

This is ok in a pinch, if you really need to dump your black tank and don't need fresh water or a good black tank flush.
For $10 more ($20 total), we fill fresh water on our way up to Twin Lakes and dump waste on our way home at Arkansas Rim Campground just north of Buena Vista. Jeff, the owner is a great guy and keeps the place spotlessly clean. There is also a restroom adjacent to the dump station where you can wash your hands when finished.
Alternatively, if you're going north on Hwy 24 from Twin Lakes, the Leadville Sanitation Dept has a fresh water/dump station that is very nice. I think it was $5 to fill fresh water, and $5 to dump waste. It had a nice hydrant to do a good black tank flush, also. It is right off Hwy 24 at the south end of Leadville. It is about 15 miles north of the intersection of Hwy 82 and Hwy 24 (the turn off for Twin Lakes).
Happy camping!

$10 and not a great black tank flush, plus no fresh water. Would only stop here if you absolutely had to empty the black tanks.

I went by this location looking for potable water and did not find any. Based on the pictures from other reviews it appears to be the same.

If potable water and trash were available it would be worth the $10 they are charging. I have noticed the entire Twin Lakes area seems to be seriously lacking in terms of public access to sanitation services. Leadville (https://www.campendium.com/leadville-rv-dump-station) is the best option IMO.

This is my second year of RV'ing. I've used at least a dozen dump stations, but never encountered one like this where the opening hole in the ground is tipped up at an angle rather than perpendicular. See this pic, https://www.campendium.com/twin-lakes-rv-dump-station/photos/158176. I couldn't use my hose which has an elbow connector to fit down into the ground. So I had to go another dump station. So 2 stars from me. If you plan to use this dump station, be sure you have a hose that does not have an elbow on the end (do they even make those?)

“Easy Access, Leadville is Cheaper”
Reviewed 6/14/2016
| Price: | $10 |

Overall Rating
This dump station is easy access for those staying in the Twin Lakes area and is located at the Whitestar Campground. There is no potable water and backflushing is not permitted. The second time I drove to Leadville, where it is only $5 and offers potable water.
