Loon Lake, E9

Our camping trip was SO much fun. Since we didn't have a campsite reserved, we headed up early on Friday morning figuring we could just get a walk up site. The first couple of campgrounds we tried were all full which was fine as we just made up our way further North into Eldorado National Forest, ending up at Loon Lake. Having been here before, we knew this would be a great choice. When we get to the campground there was only one site left...an equestrian site. We were a bit weary thinking it could smell like horses, etc. Deciding to check it out anyways, we were pleasantly surprised and quickly realized E9 was THE best spot in the whole campground! Not only did it NOT smell like horses, it was really private, had the perfect mixture of sun and shade, and was much larger compared to regular sites. We set up camp and had a fantastic few days. And Ella? She LOVED camping :)

Ella really liked paddling around in the canoe
