For Chalk Lake Campground: Campsites 1 - 14 are creek side. Chalk Creek splits into 2 streams before reaching site 3, then rejoins around site 10. Along sites 3-9 it is a shallow, slow moving stream.
Sites 3-5 are less than 20 feet apart and usually the last to be occupied. Tent areas, picnic tables, & fire rings are next to the parking area.
Sites 6-9 share the same parking area, but are a little more spread out. There is a path to each ones tent area, picnic table, & fire ring.
Site 10 has it's own parking spot and would be ideal for a smaller RV or use it's tent area.
Sites 11-14 are similar to 6-9 except the creek contains more water and the roar of the creek blocks the sounds coming from adjacent campsites.
Sites 15-19 are all individual RV sites and not in the trees.
Showers are available at the nearby Mt Princeton Hot Springs or in Buena Vista at the downtown River Park.

For Chalk Lake Campground: A nice small campground, very pleasant host. The shallow lake was a disappointment. Hiking in the flood plain of the creek next to the camp was nice. About 10 min hike up the road are spectacular cascade waterfalls and the trailhead. The trail is about 2 miles, gentle slope - converted from an old narrow railroad. The best part is the view of several surrounding forteeners.
