Our take

Beautiful setting with red rock formations all around, and kept clean. The sites are good, our only nitpick is the gravel pads (we threw a rug down and it was all fine). No laundry and no hot tub, but the St. Vrain running right through camp is the highlight: kids tubing and floating past, benches along the water, and a playground. Great for dog walks, and plenty of room for a group. An easy 8 and a genuinely lovely Rocky Mountain basecamp.
