WHEN did everyone around just start ignoring the (very few) rules?
Dogs running amok. I lost count of the big dogs and one I would consider a menace that was guarding the bathroom door like it was his only bone. All off leash,crapping where you can drag your kayak through it.
Music and generator noise at all times of night.
Full fire BAN except for the 5 sites who didn’t have to follow the rules. (LAW)
On the east side 0 signal.
Now to the west side.
A lot more secluded
Useable signal
So much nicer.
There is a free dump on the east side and trash receptacles all around.
Close to granby
Close to kremmling.
The west side saved this dispersed site. So much nicer.

We stayed July 14-16 2021. Our campsite was right on the water. Although the signs say no swimming one of the other campers said that the gentleman who patrols the lake told him that they now allow swimming up to your neck. The kids swam and we kayaked all over the lake and had a great time!
The mosquitoes were super friendly and loved us.
Some of the campsites were pretty uneven. Also you are not supposed to leave your campsite unattended more than 24 hrs but there were a few unattended campers parked there in the best campsites for a couple of days.
Verizon signal was great in some areas and not so good in others.
We loved the are a would definitely stay there again.

Based on prior reviews we had to give this place a visit and so glad we did. We arrived at what I think is the East entrance that has access to the boat ramp. It seems that every site has a picnic table and fire ring and are pull thru sites. The vault toilets were very clean for both M/F. The lake is supposed to contact free meaning no swimming but saw a few folks in the water buy fishing is allowed. Boat ramp doesnt open until 8am but never heard noise from the outboard. The area was well kept and only found a few pieces of trash and no broken glass anywhere. We hope to try the sites on the other side of the lake. Our Tmobile with a Weboost couldn't pick up a signal for data bit we had phone and text. We highly recommend this spot.

Secluded, gorgeous views, and endless places to explore. I would come here every weekend to camp if I was from around here. Best place we've stayed thus far on vacation.

Woke up to this stunning view. We pulled in late at night after taking a few detours around the Medicine Now Forest fire.
The campsites have fire rings, trash cans, vault toilets, and decent Verizon cell service. Plenty of room for big rigs and tent camping. Didn't cost us a penny 💸
The site wasn't terribly busy despite being the weekend, but it was a bit chilly with some high winds. We will definitely be back 😍

We have loved discovering all of the FREE camping Colorado has to offer. This is a neat little campground run by Denver Water that has designated campsites right on the reservoir. There is decent Verizon service on the South East camping area of the lake as previously mentioned by another reviewer. The more picturesque spots under the trees as soon as you come down the hill had zero connectivity for us, which was a problem since we needed to work. Our spot across the lake was still beautiful. During our stay at the end of August, there were about 7 other rigs. It was still peaceful and everyone was respectful with generators and noise.
There are pit toilets and trash cans throughout plus fire rings and picnic tables. There's even a dump station on site which is amazing!
We drove into nearby Granby one day to upload some work for faster internet and it was about a 25 minute (very scenic) drive into town.

We arrived on a Wednesday. Most sites were full by Thursday night except the one we called Skeeter Hole. We were in the area to the left after you turn in that has tables and fire rings with a concrete outhouse. You can get level here with not too much trouble. The rest of the sites were spread around the peninsula (see satellite view) and varied as to difficulty for leveling but you could be right on the water or up higher with a nice view. The mosquitoes were really not that bad except right around sunset. It's conveniently located between Kremmling and Granby, so primo trout fishing. We didn't fish the lake. We hiked at Lake Granby and biked and hiked at Winter Park. We hiked up Gore Canyon. There is a dump across the lake at the east unit, but no water at either one. There is a bonafide boat puti-n at the east unit. You aren't supposed to put in boats here. The east unit also has a few sites with trees and all the sites are along the water. I don't know why it is not listed here. It would help a lot if there were water. John cleans the toilets three times a week and they are spotless. The people near us on the weekend respected the 10 p.m. noise rule. Most everybody cleared out Sunday morning. Cell coverage was better up on the hill.

I was so surprised these sites are free. There are toilets, dumpsters, fire pits, and picnic tables at some sites. Many sites are right on the water. We’ll definitely make this one of our regular spots.

There is an east unit campground on Williams Fork Reservoir. I can't figure out how to add it. You can see it on satellite view. It's more convenient to the highway and probably has fewer bugs and better sunsets. Still no water.
