No power, no sewer or water (other than standard drink water hydrants spread throughout the campground), and no cell service unless you walk up the trail about a half mile.
This past weekend was our third time at Molly Brown, which is situated next to Turquoise Lake, maybe six miles from the town of Leadville.
The nearest fill/dump station is in town ($5 for water, $10 to dump), and there’s everything else you’ll likely need available in town.
The sites are normal basic campsites, with RV and tent pads, picnic table, and fire ring. The trees are spread out enough that our solar panel worked fine. Our batteries weren’t holding a charge, but that’s another topic (I need to replace them).
Turquoise Lake is a wonderful place, much loved by us and the kids. Paddling and swimming in the lake are excellent, and there are trails to hike, run, and bike on starting from the campground. Leadville has a great network of mountain bike trails as well. The highest peaks in Colorado are easily accessible From here, and history buffs may like the historic mines around. Oh, and the train ride is fun.
