Church retreats, school outdoor ed programs, or scout troops fit this perfectly. Three bunkhouses sleeping ~24 each, a recreation hall, dining hall, and a council ring fire circle facing the lake make it a self-contained group base from mid-May through late September.
Solo travelers, couples, and families can't book this. It's group reservation only, there are no individual tent or RV sites, and the amenities list is built around the bunkhouse complex rather than traditional campground infrastructure.

Ruedi Dam is a rock and earthfill structure that stands about 285 feet high above streambed and has a crest length of 1,042 feet. The Reservoir is on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, where snow-capped mountain peaks reach over 13,000 feet and the thickly forested slopes provide an exceptionally beautiful background for recreation activities. Recreation facilities consist of 4 campgrounds accommodating 81 campsites and 2 boat-launching ramps. Surface available for recreation includes 997 acres. Primary recreation activities include camping, motorized boating, sailing, and fishing. Access is good. Game fish species available include rainbow trout, brown trout, and mackinaw trout. Facilities closed in winter due to ice and snow. <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/gp-bin/arcweb_rueresco.pl">Current reservoir levels.</a>

Summer offers reliably warm, sunny weather (daytime highs typically 75–90°F, nights 55–65°F) and the fullest range of lake-based activities: swimming, boating, fishing, and evening naturalist programs. The oak-forested hillside provides plenty of shade for group camping and campfires, and long daylight hours make it easy to fit hikes, paddling, and sunset walks into a day. Expect moderate crowds on weekends and holidays, but weekday stays are pleasantly quiet. Late spring and early fall bring fewer bugs and good hiking conditions, though swimming is less appealing.
Summer cited as time for 'fullest range of lake‑based activities' and reliably warm weather.
