Dispersed camping in the mountains by the lake

Great location by the water. Nice biking and hiking trails.

Sites on top of each other

Twin lakes dispersed - just south of Leadville - right on the lake. Sites are all right on top of each other. There is no space and too many people coming through the area looking for a site. We pulled in on a Thursday lunchtime after the kids had gone back to school and it was packed. Only a few sites left. If you plan to fish or kayak then I guess you have to stay here but there are better options in the area. There is good hiking as it is right next to the Interlaken Trailhead and connects to the Colorado Trail.
lNeed to go in off season for privacy.

Great spot by independence pass

Stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. The road was pretty rough getting in but worth it.

Dog friendly and a great spot during the week

This spot is great but is extremely packed on the weekends. The road getting in is also extremely rough, but if you take your time and avoid the large rocks and holes you’ll be fine. I was able to drive my promaster back here and I don’t have 4x4.

Great experience

Stayed one night overlooking Twin Lakes. Beautiful scenery and great place to stop for the night. I think it was $15 for the night, with dedicated fire pit,grill and parking space. Plenty of room between other sites too.

Beautiful spot

Can get pretty busy depending on what time you get there but great views especially if you can get a spot down by the lake.

Epic Views, Trails & FUN!

I live around the corner from Twin Lakes so it's literally my backyard getaway.. Most recently spent the 4th of July out here. It's all BLM camping equiped with fire pits. Fire bans are in effect frequently, highly advise to check current status on them prior to starting a campfire. The wind can get a bit crazy out here so it's highly recommended that all camping equipment (pop ups & tents) be mounted in all directions, the wind shifts direction in no time at all and rain showers occur sometimes daily but come & go. Also, a fishing licence is required to fish and I'd advise highly to follow the rules & regulations if doing so. There is a round-about area that runs adjacent to the Colorado Trail where individuals can park and walk camps in if spots are taken. No restrooms or showers or hookups. Please pack out trash. Roads are a bit sketchy so low to the ground vehicles should be parked next to the dam (yellow metal fence area).
