Arapaho National Forest Stillwater Campground

I arrived after 6pm and the office was closed. However, self service was available. Though the only option was to pay by cash since the office was closed. Water Dump was not available and some toilets were closed. It has a great view of the lake from some spots, however, you can hear the road during night. Cell phone reception is poor but available.

Beautiful views of the mountains and water. Campground had flush toilets that were decently maintained. Got in around 5pm on a Friday in early september and had no problem finding a FCFS spot with a water view.

Incredible views, access to the lake, great and well maintained spots.

The reason I didn’t give it a 5 was that the management company employees were absolutely terrible and rude. Stay here just don’t interact with them unless you want a rude conversation.

Great campground. Majority of the sites had great views, a few sit lower if you like more privacy. A couple of the bathrooms have showers ( free ). Wood is for sale 24 /7. 

Small town Grand Lakes is absolutely charming lots of restaurants & shops. Stop on your way to or from RMNP. 

Host John, Luanne & Tim are very attentive and go up and beyond.

There are many large rocks surrounding the sites. Making it difficult for a rig over 35'. Views were wonderful and water access was good. Great for tents. Just very limited 4 large rigs.

My site (49) was set up on the hill near the water tank providing me with beautiful Mountain View's from my Class A. I did not use the bathrooms but there were very busy hosts around and available if there was a complaint. I was new to this type of campground where there is no check in - you just drive in to your reserved site. The only complaint I had for my site is the level. It was horribly downhill and just barely long enough for my rig so I had to really work to get things sorta level and since I was in a class A without a tow this means I had to go through this ritual every time I came in. Contributing to the difficulty was the soft gravel base that sunk under the weight of my rig.

Really nice campground. Close to RMNP. Big lake.

This campground has spectacular 180 degree view of mountains, including Rocky Mountain National Park and lake Granby. Has hook ups, dump station and access straight to the lake. Clean bathrooms and even has showers too. The views and sunset are worth the stay. We had a trailer site, which was great. Good distance between campsites. Near the bathrooms and killer views. Tent sites seemed tight and not much privacy between them. The only downfall is that you can hear the highway of cars at all times. Would stay here again

Nice scenic spots along the way with a view of Grand Lake. No fires allowed currently due to some bad forest fires but propane is allowed!

Beautiful location. The views of the Rockies are amazing!!! Super convenient and easy to get to! No rooftop tents ! Tents only on tent pads.

It was a gorgeous and well managed campground. However, trees are lacking - therefore privacy. We went before camping season actually started and had plenty of privacy because no one else was there! Host was spectacular. Lake was mountain cold and beautiful…albeit it seemed low. We didn’t “do” much this trip - so can’t speak to trails - rain was a hamper.

We camped here 23 - 25 July 2021. Arrived late in the afternoon on the 23rd and set up camp quickly. The pad was small (enough room for a 6 person tent, and a 1 person tent) the fire ring was taped up as there was a fire ban in effect. We had a walk to site, which was literally about 10 feet from the parking area. Sites are close to each other, we were concerned we may be too loud for our neighbors. The view of the lake was beautiful from our elevated site. Bathrooms were only about 200 yards away and water and dumpsters were another 100 yards in the other direction. We would stay here again for sure, but hopefully we could do it during a time of no fire ban.

Camp hosts were very friendly and kept the grounds very clean. Beautiful. Didn't want to leave.

I had an awesome time at Stillwater creek.

I was at site 71, one of the walk-up sites. The parking spot was close, and the bathroom and water were a short walk. And the bathroom had clean flush toilets! Showers were closed down but that info was posted in advance. The site had a picnic table, fire ring, tent pad, and bear locker.

There are no trees by the sites, so there’s a lack of privacy and shade, but it’s a fair trade off for the easy access to the lake in my opinion!

Would definitely recommend for folks interested in being by/on/in the waster!

Love everything about this campsite best campsite of  2020

Camped September 14, 2020 for 3 nights. Had a great site overlooking the reservoir. Nice drive on Trail Ridge Road to Rocky Mountain National Park. The town of Grand Lake is nearby and a nice place to visit.

This CG is a great location to enjoy activities on Lake Granby with an onsite marina and nice beaches.  Also jumping off point for a trip into Rocky Mt Nat'l Park and many hikes into the park from Grand Lake or Arapaho Bay.

The CG's only downside is the wide open exposure to sun and wind.  There's no trees in the upper sites - but in return you get great 360 degree views.

For some reason this one is posted twice so check both for reviews if you're curious about this site. Be careful with setting up awnings or tents it can be very windy this close to the lake!

This park has a LOVELY location right on the lake; try and pay attention when you are booking to get a really good spot. Camp host was friendly and facilities were clean. Just walking around the loop of the park a few times was a great activity and saw lots of fishing and paddleboarding. Great stay!

Is there always first come first serves available for this campsite? Anyone know?

Really awesome views and close to the west entrance if the Rocky Mountain National park. Spacious sites, we had water view which we all enjoyed. Would definitely go back.

Pretty clean. Be warned, the spots are verrryyyy close together. If you get a spot with a view it's worth it tho. Beautiful view of sunset/sunrise.

We absolutely loved this camp ground! It was absolutely gorgeous, right on the lake, and the campsite was impeccable. It was quiet and not too crowded in mid-June. Absolutely loved it, will be coming back!

I stayed here in 2016 on a bicycle tour across America. It featured some fantastic views of the nearby lake and mountains and had very clean facilities. Only problem, from a camping in a tent perspective, is due to its location if a storm rolls in the wind can really hit from every angle. Otherwise the price is very reasonable.
