[@jezebellymelly]

thank the lord above for people like you who take the time and effort to make videos like this. i'm considering booking here and the reservations website has 0 pictures available. your video was extremely useful and i appreciate your labor.

[@CampgroundRecon]

Glad it was helpful! It's a nice campground and conveniently located just outside of Vail

[@tessschmuckle9240]

Thank you for the video!

[@CampgroundRecon]

You're welcome!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Nice! Might need to stay here the night before I run Holy Cross! Such a useful video!

[@CampgroundRecon]

You should! I'll await the Holy Cross video. I want to explore that area more.

[@unboxingdog]

Thanks for posting this. We just booked site #12 (only two available for our date 5 & 12). Looking forward to staying there!

[@CampgroundRecon]

Awesome! Glad we could help you pick a site. Have a great trip!

[@thebrothers4311]

Are any of the trails open to ATVs?

[@CampgroundRecon]

I don't believe they are allowed in the nearby wilderness area

[@edadpops1709]

This one looks great. Love that area of Colorado,and doesn’t look beetle killed yet

[@CampgroundRecon]

It's a nice area. Easy access from I-70 and Vail but it feels more secluded.

[@Barabus-yx2cn]

Your brain was beetle killed.

[@ColoradoMartini]

I love Vail. But I have never camped there. I will have to change this out. I love that graphic at the bottom of the screen. How did you do that

[@CampgroundRecon]

The GPS data at the bottom of the screen is available on the newer GoPro cameras and a couple other brands. Colorado Overland uses a different camera on their channel that has similar data.

[@ColoradoMartini]

@@CampgroundRecon Did I tell you guys about the Colorado UA-camrs Facebook group. You should join us. We are planning a meetup. And you can list your videos. I couldn't remember if I told you about it or not

[@CampgroundRecon]

@@ColoradoMartini I joined pretty early but just now turned on notifications. I'll check it out. Thanks for the invite!

[@zainahmed9699]

Could you fit a truck and 30 ft travel trailer here?

[@CampgroundRecon]

Yes. 35 ft is listed as the max parking space. Might need to park the truck at a bit of an angle once you unhitch. Just know which loop you need to turn at.

[@edadpops1709]

Wonder if this area has been affected by any fires since 2019

[@CampgroundRecon]

I don’t think so. No fires that close to Vail

[@rebecahanrahan5556]

It looks great. We live in Avon, so not sure we would camp in Vail but the trails and the creek are appealing for a quick getaway. Thanks for the video!

[@ertatta]

Beautiful lush campground. Might have to take advantage of this spot when the NY philharmonic is performing in Vail.

[@CampgroundRecon]

It’s a beautiful campground

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

This one looks great. Creek sounds fantastic. Sorry I missed premiere. Silly dishes won't wash themselves!

[@CampgroundRecon]

Great location right off I-70 makes it a great stopover when driving across Colorado. This one feels remote even though it is almost in town.
