Rachel C ★ 2 · Aug 2025Camp host was absolutely wonderful. This particular space was extremely dusty, to where it got into every crevasse and actually hurt our hands, despite washing. On the second day, a terrible septic smell was emanating from the pit toilet and growing in range throughout the morning. Needless to say we left early. Really nice location though.
Philip W ★ 4 · Aug 2025Parking spot was not very level for the trailer - bring blocks. Good open site, smooth, ok for tents. Neighbors kept cutting through our site to go visit their friends on the other side of us. Close to a water spigot.
Krissy G ★ 4 · Aug 2025This was our 6th visit in 7 years (thanks, COVID). It was a great trip as usual. We have switched our routine from walking down to the beach, the walk back up in the heat can be rough. We now drive down to the boat launch ($10 parking but bathrooms and tables) or near the spillway (free) to put in the paddleboards and hang out for the day. There is a great hike in Georgetown if you need to swing by for ice. Check out the Traverse Creek Botanical Special Interest Area for an educational walk through a former Sonora Emerald mining claim. Signs along the trails are educational and break up the walk. This year, there was an issue with a bear at the campsite. It was small and easily shooed off, but it was an added daily nuisance. There are no bear boxes, so you need to be diligent about putting away food, trash, and washing dishes.

Stumpy Meadows sits beside the clear surface of Stumpy Meadows Reservoir in a heavy conifer forest, offering 39 campsites that are spaced to provide a good degree of privacy: 29 sites are set up for both RVs and tents and 10 are tent-only. Tall Ponderosa pines, fir, oak and cedar shade the campground, and although no sites have direct water views the reservoir is a short walk away. Basic amenities include vault toilets and drinking water supplied from spigots, and a public boat ramp is located about a mile from the campground. The site serves as a quiet base for exploring Eldorado National For…
