What campers say

Court Sheriff Campground sits on the lake with easy water access and pleasant views, making it convenient for boating, fishing and water play. Camp hosts are frequently described as friendly and attentive, and the grounds are generally clean and well maintained with paved sites, picnic tables, fire rings/grills and vault toilets. Sites can accommodate larger rigs, though some loops feel close together while a few walk-in tent sites offer more seclusion. Hookups are limited—expect mostly boondocking, with freshwater fill stations at some locations. Low nightly fees and a family-friendly atmosphere make it a good value for lake-focused camping.

In 1875 he opened a general mercantile to serve the miners east of the Missouri River at Cavetown. He moved to nearby Canyon Ferry in 1880, and by 1883 had established a general store and later added a livery stable and two-and-a-half-story hotel.
