Antero Reservoir — Attraction in Colorado

Beautiful water, good fishing, but very poor management, we wont be back simply due to the rude and super unfriendly staff. The first night one inspector was swearing at campers, and threatening to “call the sheriff” instead of simply asking to stop playing music; no warning, no escalation, just curses and threats. The second night the sheriff came because that same inspector was drunk and speeding his vehicle through the campgrounds, causing a scene till midnight. When we pulled our boat and gave the “have a great day,” another inspector just completely ignored us. Then on the way home we noticed another (senior) guy writing down our plates, so we backed up, then he got in his car and tried to drive away, but we stopped him and he very rudely told us that we were breaking rules all weekend. No warnings, no escalation, no conflict resolution, just piss poor management by low functioning adolescent minded jerks. Every camper agreed these guys ruined...

Notwithstanding, the scenery is unparalleled. ...
