We moved here in 1997 The home has had major remodels done on it. The lake is an old gravel pit to make road base for local road construction. The buoys in the lake are scuba projects from the local college CMU, and hold lots of fish. Other nesting platforms are for our local Geese and they hatch out in April-June. We airbnb 2 rooms in our home as a shared facility and have airbnbs in Northern Ca and Baja. Our home is off limits for campers as we need to respect the space for our other airbnb guests. But in an emergence please call, cell service works fine. port-a potty is gone for the winter November-April. port-a potty is clean and works great, May- Oct. If you here in the winter you may use the trees or Mavericks gas station in 1.5 miles away.

Site 3 TENT, most private site, WOW
Beautiful—no toilet till May
Beautiful, remote location surrounded by mountains.. Sounds of birds all around including the peacocks! There was a cool tire swing and some other fun things for kids. Our stay was at the very end of March. We did not learn until later that the Porta potties do not get installed until May 1, so be aware especially if you’re traveling with a family, you will have to leave the site to find a toilet and many gas stations close their restrooms after 8 PM. Honestly, we would not have booked if we had known there were no on-site toilets. Hopefully the host updated the listing to reflect this more accurately. There were numerous new trees planted that were budding out, so I think this place will continue to become more beautiful. The water was clear and if you bring life jackets there were plenty of canoes and such.

Careful - no toilets in March!
Listing isn't clear on available toilets. We were there in March and the site listing says toilets are available but they weren't. We asked and got no response from Mike. So, we probably won't go back at anytime seems unreliable

Perfect!
This was a great stop over on our way to the grand canyon. We arrived around 9:10PM had a little camp fire for our girls to make stores before bed. The lake is gorgeous and we had a canoe trip in the morning before heading out. 10/10 highly recommend!

Beautiful site. Extremely nice people! We just did our test run in a trailer with my 90 year old dad. A little chilly (it is March!), but perfect.

Just passing through…
I stayed here for a night along a cross country road trip. Campgrounds are at the edge of town and had a remote feeling, with beautiful vistas for both sunset and sunrise. The site itself (#4) felt private as the firepit and table were tucked into a grassy corner. There was tons of firewood at the site and kindling already placed in the pit. Easy to find area with great directions. Local conveniences only a few minutes away, with many more options downtown in Grand Junction. Would definitely stay again!
