Just found out that the Elk Creek Campground, just outside Grand Lake, and down the road from Winding River Resort, did in fact survive the fire, according to their Facebook page. As posted earlier, the Winding River Resort was completely destroyed by the fire. Close proximity to each other, one survived, the other didn't.
And in the Cameron Peak fire to the north, also found out that nearly all of the USFS campgrounds in Poudre Canyon did survive the fire with little to no damage, with the exception of the Jacks Gulch CG, which sustained significant fire damage. Chambers Lake, Aspen Glen, Big Bend, Big South and Tunnel CGs all escaped the fire.
