Love this little camp ground! Our last stay at the end of March was great and we loved our camp hosts.

Had a great trip despite some smoke from the fires. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for tents or campers!

Is it free camping?

No there is a reservation system with the forest service this time of the year, it nominally coats about 23$ a night, but when you need to make a reservation it is another ~8-10$ processing fee so if you stay for one night it is about 30, or around 50$ for two nights. In the off season it is first come first serve and there are no processing fees so it is a little cheaper. No

Was there any fire damage from the big fire to any of the campgrounds along the Cache la Poudre river canyon on #14? When will they be open?

Ansel Watrous is open now but very packed since its the only one open right now. If you keep driving west the fire damage is substantial and heartbreaking. Starting May 1st all camping slots will be by reservation only. This includes the FF tent sites.

Yes you do, the earlier the better.

If you have a portable toilet for night use, can you dump it in the morning in the vault toilet?

Paula Maxwell | Aug 19, 2019
Ron Potter | Aug 20, 2019

You can, but they are heavy to lift so if you spill,please let the host know you need help. Thanks for asking. This is for just a porta potty, not a blue boy.
